Scientists Identify Key Factor That Maintains Stem Cell Identity
Newswise (press release)
Newswise — A protein implicated in several cancers appears to play a pivotal role in keeping stem cells in an immature “pluripotent” state, according to a new study by NYU Langone Medical Center scientists. The study is published online today in Cell …

Scientists use stem cells to learn how common mutation in Asians affects heart
Stanford Medical Center Report
Now researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have learned for the first time specifically how the mutation affects heart health. They did so by comparing heart muscle cells made from induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, from
