World-First Embryonic Stem Cell Trial for the Heart
Bioscience Technology The first embryonic stem (ES) cell trial for severe heart failure is launching now in Paris. The long-awaited trial comes after much preclinical cell work on more than 350 rats, 50 immunodeficient mice and 32 non-human primates. “After 20 years in the … |

Study of stem cell origins sheds new light
Medical News Today “Now we know Sox2 is the first indicator that a cell is pluripotent. In fact, Sox2 may be the pre-pluripotent gene. We show that Sox2 is detectable in just one or two cells of the embryo earlier than previously thought, and earlier than other known … Research Sheds Light on Source of Stem CellsLaboratory Equipment Identifying the source of stem cellsEureka!
