Blue Sky Science: How can we use stem cells to build tissues and organs?
Auburn Citizen
By potency, we mean a cell’s ability to give rise to specialized cells. Some stem cells are more potent than others, but at the very top of the hierarchy are the so-called “pluripotent” stem cells, which can give rise to everything. Self-renewal, on

Stem Cell Implants Improve Monkeys’ Grip After Spinal Cord Injury
The Scientist
Glass, who was not involved in the study, notes that the differentiation of stem cells over time is “impressive,” as is their ability to make connections in the monkeys’ central nervous systems, but more work needs to be done to show if the cells can
