Adults don't have any embryonic stem cells, but they do still have stem cells - they're essential for replacing or repairing normal cells which become damaged, or worn out. But the adult stem ...

And adult stem cells are starting to be used as vehicles for genetic therapies, such as for epidermolysis bullosa. If this progress had been derived from embryonic stem cells, the headlines would ...

Advocates counter that adult stem cells, useful as they may be for some diseases, have thus far proved incapable of producing the full range of cell types that embryonic stem cells can.

For as long as biologists have studied this maturation process, they’ve believed that cells in adult tissue can ... researchers first isolated human embryonic stem cells, but research on ...

When combined with clinically validated growth factor serums, microchanneling can enhance skin rejuvenation, effectively ...

Takahashi, K. & Yamanaka, S. Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors. Cell 126, 663–676 (2006).

Pluripotent stem cells are cells ... into the three primary germ cell layers of the early embryo and therefore into all cells of the adult body, but not extra-embryonic tissues such as the placenta.

Almost all adult tissues contain multipotent stem cells, which take care of renewing the tissue in different ways depending on the tissue. Stem cells in the early embryo The embryonic stem cells, that ...
