Generation of iPS cells from somatic cells from any individual largely solves the two major obstacles mentioned earlier. What Somatic Cell Types Can Be Reprogrammed into iPS Cells? Most iPS cell ...

The treatment only has a 50% success rate so far, but those who have received it have reportedly experienced no significant ...

Once removed from the blastocyst they lack the outer trophoblast structures for continued embryonic development, but they can theoretically be "nudged" into becoming any cell type found in the ...

Why should your cells be any different? Aa Aa Aa If made from stones, could two pieces of a mosaic ever be exactly the same? Of course, the answer is no: although certain pieces of the mosaic may ...

Researchers at Keio University have begun using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) to treat and maybe even cure severe ...

In this slide show showing somatic cell nuclear transfer, as it's also known, we explain how we clone egg cells to create embryonic stem cells in our lab at Children's Hospital Boston. Unless ...
