Jun Wu, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, USA, is recognized by ISSCR for his innovative work on creating novel embryonic and extraembryonic stem cells, exploring the mechanisms that ...

A new chimera protein creates a potent, xeno-free fibrin scaffold with strong cell adhesion, paving the way for reproducible and medically applicable ...

Investigators at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have generated a chimeric monkey by injecting an embryonic stem cell into the morula, which is an extremely early embryo consisting of 16 to 32 cells.

I've long been a big fan of Greek mythology and all the wondrous beasts that tested, and sometimes bested, mythical heroes. One such creature was the chimera, a grotesque hybrid of a lion, goat, and ...

Stem cell implantation is a step closer to becoming the next strategy against Parkinson's disease. Two clinical trials, one in phase I and the other in phase I/II, have demonstrated their safety and ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

The research offers the first proof that human embryonic stem cells -- vaunted for their potential to turn into every kind of human cell, at least in laboratory dishes -- can become functional human ...

A new chimera protein creates a potent, xeno-free fibrin scaffold with strong cell adhesion, paving the way for reproducible and medically applicable stem cell therapies. Construction of the ...
