Scientists create functioning liver cells from stem cells
Health24 “While other groups have been able to produce liver cells before us, their cells showed little functional activity, and could not be reliably used for drug discovery. In fact, up until now stem cell-derived hepatocytes showed little ability to predict … |

Mutation alert halts stem–cell trial to cure blindness
New Scientist The trial is the first to explore whether a type of stem cell known as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be used to treat disease. These are made by taking cells from a patient’s skin and “rewinding” them to a premature stem–cell state using a … Researchers identify protein crucial for stem cell survival using editing tool …Phys.Org |
