Professor Kenji Osafune (Department of Cell Growth and Differentiation) and his team of researchers have devised an effective ...

Induced neural progenitor cells (iNPCs), derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are a relatively new method for modeling the cellular interactivity, biochemical alterations, and ...

How are induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells different from embryonic stem (ES) cells? What can we use iPS cells for? ES cells were originally derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) or epiblast of ...

Down Syndrome (DS) results from an extra copy of Chromosome 21, and it is believed that the resulting extra copies of genes on this chromosome lead to Down Syndrome traits. It is assumed that the ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, published in the Proceedings of the ...

Use Applied StemCell's (ASC) new GMP facility, comprised of five cleanrooms equipped with cutting-edge technology, to develop the next generation of iPSC-derived therapeutics. We have dedicated ...

The opening of a multi-product cleanroom facility in early 2020 marks the beginning of a new chapter for FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics Inc. For more than a decade, this US subsidiary of Fujifilm has ...

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified a novel trigger of a deadly form of ovarian cancer. Discovery of a subset of high-risk progenitor cells that reside in fallopian tube ...

The technology to generate induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells opened a new way for research of disease through the generation and utilization of iPS cells derived from patients (disease-specific iPS ...
