Hamilton and Life & Brain have joined their expertise to develop a fully automated system for the culture of primary cells, cell lines and embryonic stem (ES) cells, which provides high-quality ...

After an eight-month delay, on 23 January, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first human trials of embryonic stem (hES) cells ... the company's phone system crashed under ...

A worldwide effort to screen the genomes of more than a hundred human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines has revealed a number of consistent genetic differences that appear after the cells are cultured ...

Researchers from King's College London announced today (August 13) that they had successfully generated Britain's first human embryonic stem cell line, which they hope to deposit soon in the UK Stem ...

Our laboratory aims at exploiting recent advances in stem cell biology to develop radically new therapies for degenerative disease and cancer. The main focus in the lab is on the biology and ...

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling system that helps regulate your body functions, including sleep and mood, among others. It was identified in the early 1990s by ...

The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the integrity of this vast store of information.

Human cells have a complex DNA repair system involving over 500 crucial genes. By analyzing interactions among these genes, researchers identified new potential targets for cancer therapy.

The human immune system is a remarkable evolutionary tool that is often taken for granted—until, that is, something gets past its cellular defenses. However, this complex system of cells ...
