Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have emerged as ideal tools for developmental biology research due to their characteristics such as unlimited proliferation and pluripotent differentiation potential.

In cell therapy applications, commonly employed cell purification platforms for large-scale isolation of immune or stem cells separate cells based on a single cell surface antigen. Enrichment based on ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Science China Life Sciences, a research team led by Dr. Yang Yang and Dr. Xi Wang from Nanjing Medical University has made a significant breakthrough in stem ...

When scientists talk about laboratory stem cells being totipotent or pluripotent, they mean that the cells have the potential, like an embryo, to develop into any type of tissue in the body. What ...

A new study has found that L1td1, a protein evolutionarily co-opted from the Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE1) retrotransposon, functions as a critical "gatekeeper" restricting pluripotent ...

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...
