ESCs/iPSCs

Researchers describe how multilayered ocular structures generated from iPSCs may provide a patient-specific means to treat forms of blindness

A Stem Cells study shows that modulating a microenvironmental factor can alter smooth muscle cell differentiation from ESCs; knowledge which could boost vascular therapies.

New research in SCTM describes a safe and effective new strategy for the treatment of type 1 diabetes using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived progenitors

A new study describes the successful retinal differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells generated using mRNA, a strategy which may be more clinically relevant than traditional strategies

New research describes a novel role for the REST transcription factor in the cardiac-specific differentiation of embryonic stem cells

Researchers describe the first evidence of the production of functional sperm-like cells from mouse embryonic stem cells

New research describes how the pluripotency-associated factor DPPA5 promotes the maintenance of the pluripotent state

New research describes how differentiated cells undergo the process of self-renewal via specific enhancer element usage

The application of a new fluorescent probe may enhance our ability to maintain high quality pluripotent stem cell cultures

A new study suggests that encapsulation of ESC-derived cells with a modified seaweed product could enhance survival and lower immune responses after transplantation
