A paracrine regulation was recently proposed in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) grown in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF)-conditioned media (MEF-CM), where hESCs spontaneously differentiate into ...
Researchers say isolating subfractions of hESCs significantly boosts the numbers of differentiated cells that can be generated. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) appear to have inbuilt preferences ...
hESCs are derived from the inner cell mass of pre-implantation embryos 1 and are rigorously defined by two distinguishing properties: (i) ability to self-renew in culture over serial passage while (ii ...
The majority of researchers working with human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) use animal-based materials for culturing the cells. But these materials could transmit viruses and other pathogens to the ...
Researchers claim surface chemical modification supports long-term culture of undifferentiated cells. Researchers have found that treating polystyrene lab plates with ultraviolet (UV) waves generates ...
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are a valuable source of pluripotential primary cells. To date, however, their homogeneous cellular differentiation to specific cell types in vitro has proven ...
This release is available in Spanish. Barcelona, Spain: For the first time in the world scientists have succeeded in developing human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) from a single cell, or blastomere, of ...
Christopher Arellano Reyes majored in biology and minored in chemistry and biotechnology and was a 2022-23 health care ethics intern with the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara ...
The maintenance of pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) requires a high efficiency of self-renewal. During in vitro propagation, however, spontaneous differentiation occurs frequently, ...
Imagine if you could take living cells, load them into a printer, and squirt out a 3D tissue that could develop into a kidney or a heart. Scientists are one step closer to that reality, now that they ...
The adult mammalian heart bears limited regenerative capacity, resulting in the irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes post-cardiac injury, and often culminating in end-stage heart failure. Cardiomyocyte ...
Just last month, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) announced it was awarding over $250 million to multidisciplinary research teams to develop stem cell-based therapies to treat ...
