As the agency evaluates the utility of human embryonic stem cells in research, scientists warn that restricting the cells ...

Stem cells offer an extraordinary toolkit for science and medicine. Researchers are getting better at turning these ...

"This now will hopefully set the stage for improved ways of differentiating these cells, make these embryonic stem cells turn into other cell types that we can use for other disea ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

For the first time, stem cells typically considered restricted to forming body tissues spontaneously formed a yolk-sac-like structure in a model of the human embryo. Stem cell models of human embryos ...

A new study using stem cell-based models has shed new light on how the human embryo begins to develop, which could one day benefit the development of fertility treatment. The study led by at the ...

Researchers in the U.S. created monkey embryos asexually, without the use of sperm, in order to harvest stem cells from them. The company behind the research, Advanced Cell Technology, says the ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

From the generation of embryo-like structures to the establishment of cell-based approaches to model or treat disease, the field of stem cell and developmental biology has impressively progressed ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...

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, ...
