Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been successfully derived from mice and rats, efforts to establish chimeric and germline-competent ESC lines in species beyond rodents have been unsuccessful.

Regenerative medicine combines tissue engineering and cell therapies to repair or replace damaged human tissues and organs. Key applications include treating osteoarthritis with mesenchymal stem cells ...

A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a mouse with two male parents -- that lived until adulthood. Their results ...

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 ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...
