Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of blastocysts. Before implantation, cells in the ICM undergo multiple divisions, and after implantation, the entire ICM develops into the embryo. Here, we are interested in the effects of environmental toxicants, such as cigarette...
Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are the undifferentiated cells found in inner cell mass of the developing embryo. They have the inherent ability of self-renewal and differentiation into all cell types of an adult person. Hence, they are known as pluripotent stem cells as well. Rapidcell divisi...
In the context of modern biology, stem cells and progenitor cells play a major role in different research andexperimentalprocedures. Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells which can grow indefinitely into different types of specialized cells. They are of two types;embryonic stem cells and...

Long story short, if you’re interested in iPSCs, there’s no shortage of tools to make and characterize them. References [1] Takahashi, K, Yamanaka, S, “Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors,” Cell, 126:663-76, ...
adult stem cells1. Intestinal tissue was targeted initially due to the ease of sourcing biopsies, the robust proliferation of intestinal stem cells, and the simplicity of the intestinal epithelium structure compared to other organs. Over the next four years, academic research exp...
“As protocols and pluripotent stem cell culture become more accessible, there are also more efforts to increase organoid complexity by adding additional cell populations, such as microglia, endothelial cells, and other non-neural support cells,” says Austin Passaro, Product Manager, MEA Systems ...
technology, based on reprogramming adult cells from a simple blood sample or a skin biopsy to a pluripotent stem cell state, shows promise in delivering robust human cell models of high utility in drug discovery and without the ethical concerns linked to...
Differentiate adult and embryonic stem cells. How does the oxidative capacity of myocardial tissue compare to that of skeletal tissue? A. It is twice as much. B. It is 50% less. C. It is three times higher. D. It is 20% higher. Compare and contrast the three types of cell to ...
Compare and contrast testosterone and 5a-DHT. Discuss the differences between adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells: a) Where do they come from? b) What are the differences in how they can be used? c) Which has more moral controversy surrounding it, and why? Compare ...
