Researchers describe a new chemical cocktail that enables pluripotent stem cells to form embryonic and extraembryonic tissues

A new study finds that progressive electrophysiological and morphological maturation of transplanted iPSC-derived neural cells occurs over long-time periods in vivo

A new study learns that the activation of the innate immune system enhances the reprogramming of somatic cells into other fates

The overexpression of an RNA binding protein enhances endothelial cell differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells and may improve the treatment of cardiovascular disease patients

A new study indicates that the timing of the in vitro differentiation of pluripotent stem cells reflects species-specific rates of development

A new study describes an improved protocol for the efficient differentiation of endothelial cells from pluripotent stem cell sources and highlights the importance of the MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways

A new study describes a quick and efficient means to generate, gene-edit, and differentiate induced pluripotent stem cells in order to study rare neurodevelopmental disorders

A new study shows that the loss of a single microRNA is sufficient to endow mouse pluripotent stem cells with totipotent characteristics

A new study describes a new synthetic hybrid molecule that can selectively target and eliminate pluripotent cells and reduce the tumorigenic threat of cell transplantation strategies
