An experimental treatment for blindness, developed from a patient’s skin cells, improved the vision of blind mice in a study conducted by ophthalmologists and stem cell researchers.
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg and ETH Zürich have created the first ...
Human induced pluripotent stem cells improve visual acuity, vascular health Date: March 10, 2022 Source: Indiana University School of Medicine Summary: Researchers are investigating novel ...
A preclinical study using stem cells to produce progenitor photoreceptor cells—light-detecting cells found in the eye—and then transplanting these into experimental models of damaged retinas ...
Stem cells are primitive, unspecialized cells. A 5-day-old human embryo, called a blastocyst, contains an inner cell mass composed of about 12 embryonic stem cells.
The claim: Lab-grown meat is cultivated from animal cancer cells because they grow faster A June 26 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) claims an unsavory process is being used to create ...
Scientists hope to use elephant stem cells to study some of the traits that mammoths used to survive in cold climates. Colossal Biosciences ...
Human blood stem cells have been made in a laboratory for the first time, which could significantly improve how we treat certain types of cancer. The lab-grown cells have so far only been tested ...
We evaluated three patients in whom severe bilateral visual loss developed after they received intravitreal injections of autologous adipose tissue–derived “stem cells” at one such clinic in ...
In a study publishing in the journal Cell Stem Cell on February 2, researchers show that brain organoids—clumps of lab-grown neurons—can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual ...
If we can eventually get stem cells to form a viable embryo, a functional fetus, or even a baby, should we treat blastoids in the same way we treat embryos?
