In science, ethical guidelines ensure that research takes place in a way that respects public trust and is conducted ...

The same is true for other mammals such as monkeys and mice. While some other creatures, most notably salamanders and ...

Haploid embryonic stem cell research explores the utilisation of cells that contain a single set of chromosomes to probe gene function with unprecedented clarity. This unique genomic configuration ...

Red indicates mouse embryonic stem cells and green indicates mouse epiblast stem cells. The two cell types were co-cultured under GSK3α inhibition and maintained their distinct identities.

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

Gemmotherapy is a form of botanical medicine that uses the embryonic stem cells of plants. These cells are harvested from the ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

When there’s nothing else to prescribe, hope works like a drug. A quadriplegic patient tells herself it’s not a matter of if they find a cure but when. Who’s to say whether salvation is still 10 or 15 ...
