Haifa scientists successfully 'reprogram' human skin cells into heart cells
Haifa :: Israel | about 1 month ago
Credibility
Haifa scientists have adapted an innovative Japanese gene-implantation technique and succeeded in "turning back the clock" for human skin cells, reprogramming them into artificial embryonic stem cells and then switching them into heart cells in the lab....

Study: Human fat yields multipurpose stem cells
Stanford :: CA :: USA | 2 months ago
Credibility You know that fat in your body you wish you didn't have? It turns out those cells could be used to create stem cells that one day may be able to cure disease. Scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that the millions of fat...

The Province, Canada: Chinese experts grow live mice from skin cells
Hong Kong :: China | 3 months ago
Credibility Chinese researchers have managed to create powerful stem cells from mouse skin and used these to generate fertile live mouse pups. They used induced pluripotent skin cells, or iPS cells -- cells that have been reprogrammed to look and act like embryonic...

Local Scientists Reproduce Mice Using Skin Cells
San Diego :: CA :: USA | 3 months ago
Credibility Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla have reproduced live mice by using skin cells, 10News reported. The scientists did not use stem cells, and did not create the mice through cloning. "When we got our first animal we were quite surprised...

Non-embryonic stem cells pass major hurdle in mice
Washington :: DC :: USA | 4 months ago
Credibility Two teams of Chinese scientists have made a major advance in mice in the development of a new kind of stem cell that doesn't involve destroying embryos. Those cells are derived from ordinary skin cells, and when they were created two years ago from human...

Scripps-led researchers make type of stem cell
Washington :: DC :: USA | 7 months ago
Credibility A team of scientists led by Scripps Research Institute has pulled ahead in the race to develop embryonic-like stem cells that could be used for patient-specific therapies and models of disease, but that don't require destruction of an embryo. The Scripps...

Canadians make stem cell breakthrough
Toronto :: Canada | 9 months ago
Credibility The Japanese took skin cells from the face of a 36-year-old women and turned them into cells that look and acted like embryonic stem cells. The Americans did the same with skin cells from infant foreskins. In the developing embryo, stem cells give rise...

Stem-cell advance for motor neurone disease
Als :: Denmark | about 1 year ago
Credibility In a major breakthrough, the skin cells of the two women, aged 82 and 89, were turned into mature nerve cells. The achievement promises to revolutionise the understanding and treatment of a range of incurable illnesses. The skin cells were genetically...
