UCLA stem cell scientists have reprogrammed human skin cells into cells with the same unlimited properties as embryonic stem cells, without using embryos or eggs. Led by scientists Kathrin Plath and ...
In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, Australian scientists have resolved a long-standing problem in regenerative medicine. Led by Professor Ryan Lister from the Harry Perkins Institute of ...
Jonas Salk quietly built the polio vaccine through rigorous, methodical work in Pittsburgh: treating patients, refinin ...
Studies on diseases that affect the human brain are usually based on animal models which cannot reproduce the complexity of human neuropathies. Therefore, these methodologies often fail when applied ...
Mammalian hearts have almost no ability to grow new heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, after birth. Thus, dead tissue after an adult heart attack is not repaired with new cardiomyocytes. It is ...
Scientists report that they have used a cellular reprogramming methodology to allow the creation of neural networks that reproduce unique characteristics of human cells—different from those obtained ...
In a groundbreaking study published today in Nature, Australian scientists have resolved a long-standing problem in regenerative medicine. Led by Professor Ryan Lister from the Harry Perkins Institute ...
