Induced pluripotent stem cells are being tested to treat blindness, paralysis, Parkinson’s disease and more. Approvals might ...

Two independent clinical trials demonstrate the safety of stem cell therapies for Parkinson's disease. The papers, published ...

A colony of stem cells extracted from human embryos has been grown in a British laboratory for the first time, scientists announced today. The breakthrough could mark the beginning of a new ...

Glycolysis is an ancient metabolic activity. It consists of a set of reactions that convert glucose into energy. This central process allows cells to grow, divide, and stay alive. It has accompanied ...

Programmable cellular models of embryos, known as embryoids, allow scientists to mimic the first few day of embryonic development. The project team, left to right: Ali Shariati, Sayaka Kozuki, and ...

For some animals, the entire process of cellular multiplication, generation of specialized cells, and their organization into an ordered multicellular embryo takes place in the protective ...

Researchers have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have been able to follow the ...

For some animals, the entire process of cellular multiplication, generation of specialized cells, and their organization into an ordered multicellular embryo takes place in the protective ...

cases and I.V.F. disputes, the frozen embryos vials like these will hold are increasingly caught The Embryo Question is a three-part series about the cluster of cells at the crossroads of science ...

In the first week, our cells reach their first turning point: They must become either placenta or embryo. Then, in the developing embryo, cells form three primary layers — ectoderm, mesoderm and ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet.
