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 ...

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 ...

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.

Every organ in our body contains a small number of adult stem cells that are specific to its niche. These cells act like a ...

Glycolysis is an ancient metabolic activity. It consists of a set of reactions that convert glucose into energy. This central ...
