Current methodologies for the detection of inducible Pluripotent Stem (iPS) reprogramming are either disruptive e.g. flow cytometry (FC) or low in throughput e.g. fluorescent microscopy (FM). Using ...

The iPS cells passed the standard barrage of tests for pluripotency, and microarray analyses demonstrated that these cells exhibited similar gene expression profiles to embryonic stem cells. The new ...

In reading, a bookmark tells where you stopped. Cells use bookmarks too, specific proteins that help the cell remember what collection of genes needs to be turned on again after the brief halt of gene ...

The ability to reprogram somatic cells to generate induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has generated tremendous interest and discussion since iPS cells were first produced from mouse cells in 2006 ...

Scientists have produced stem cells from the endangered Grévy's zebra using human reprogramming factors. Further comprehensive gene analyses identified key genes that are also found in human and mouse ...

Human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst before its attachment to the uterus, can differentiate into multiple cell types. Due to the ethical debate ...
