Stem cell, an undifferentiated cell that can divide to produce some offspring cells that continue as stem cells and some cells that are destined to differentiate (become specialized). Stem cells are an ongoing source of the differentiated cells that make
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are immortal stem cells that own multi-lineage differentiation potential. ESCs are commonly derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of pre-implantation embryos. Due to their tremendous developmental capacity and unlimited self-renewal, ESCs have diverse biomedical ...
In another study, scientists engineered a beating heart from embryonic stem cells in the lab. Female Hearts (Image credit: Credit: Alane Basco-Yu) Girls rule in some matters of the heart, but when it comes to research into cardiovascular disease it's the guys who come into the spotlight. ...

therapies for humans with physically damaged hearts. This amphibian (两栖动物) can turn its cells back in time, as if they were stem cells (干细胞), in order to build up new heart muscle. In another study, scientists engineered a beating heart from embryonic (胚胎的) stem cells in the ...
(Altpeter et al.2016). Expression of these developmental regulators, often referred to as morphogenes or booster genes, can reprogram the somatic cells to the embryonic cells (Gao2021). Adjustments for the expression levels of these booster genes were suggested as potential breakthroughs for ...

Stem Cell Therapy Because stem cells are so amazing for treating many different ailments, they've also been studied for use in patients with AMD. The cells that could be transplantedinclude pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and autologous cells.Patients had stem cells inserted into the...
Specifically, the ISS team looked at how adult stem cells —another name for somatic stem cells— behave. Compared toembryonic stem cells (and the advantages associated with their research), they're more limited in how they replicate and transform, and growing them in an Earth-based lab is ...
