The scientist explained that when cells in human body become aged or injured, pluripotent stem cells could provide a means for repair. These cells can be induced to form a variety of different cell types and may be able to replace dysfunctional cells or regrow damaged tissues. ...
They believe extensive genetic screening of these stem cells, known as hiPSCs should be carried out routinely before using them to treat patients.New and varied treatments tailored for individual patients may become feasible by using ordinary human cells reprogrammed as hiPSCs, the authors explained. ...
The malignancy of tumors is often explained by the presence of cancer stem cells, which are considered resistant to anti-cancer agents and radiation. Cancer stem cells are typically characterized by continuous proliferation and self-renewal as well as by potential of differentiation. Stem cells are ...
Alteration of HLA and histo-blood group antigen expression during differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into hepatocyte-like cells. The human embryonic stem cell lines Val 9, SA121 and SA181, and the human induced pluripotent stem cell line ChiPSC4 were characterized by flow cytometry wit...
The role of the astroglial cells in glaucomatous disc cupping Two paradoxical findings are explained by the Astroglial Hypothesis of Disc Cupping. First, the early cupping of the optic disc in young glaucoma patients is not accompanied by field changes at first. Second, after normalization of intra...
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are a valuable tool for interrogating development, disease modelling, drug discovery and transplantation. Despite the burgeoned capability to fate restrict human PSCs to specific neural lineages, comparative protocols for mo

An alternative may be induced pluripotent stem cells. “It’s completely made in the lab,” she said. “It does not exist in the human body.” Clark explained that there are three types of stem cells: embryonic, induced pluripotent and nonembryonic. ...
While it is clear that human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can differentiate to generate a panoply of various cell types, it is unknown how closely in vitro development mirrors that which occurs in vivo. To determine whether human embryonic stem cells (
Human embryonic stem cells (ESC) were derived as previously described61,62. Briefly, the trophectoderm of blastocysts was ablated using 20-40 laser pulses of 400ms at intensity set to 100% (Hamilton Thorne). The inner cell mass was plated on irradiated mouse embryonic fibroblast feeders (Global...
