Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

Humans have around 30 trillion cells in our adult bodies. Amazingly, each of these cells came from a handful of about 100 stem cells in the earliest days of development. The ability of these embryonic ...

To date, more than 100 clinical trials with human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived products have been initiated worldwide and an increasing number of potential hPSC-derived clinical products have ...

From the discovery of the Yamanaka factors to late-stage clinical trials, induced pluripotent stem cells have revolutionized biomedical science. For the first time, scientists reprogrammed cells from ...

A new approach to using stem cell–derived pancreatic islets has allowed a patient with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to come off insulin for 1 year. The chemically induced pluripotent stem cell–derived islets ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) today announced the upcoming release of "Charting the Translational Pathway: ISSCR Best Practices for the Development of Pluripotent Stem Cell ...
