outer cell mass and inner cell mass. Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. Embryonic stem cells in culture are capable of self-renewal without ...

How are induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells different from embryonic stem (ES) cells? What can we use iPS cells for? ES cells were originally derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) or epiblast of ...

Stem and leaf diagrams are formed by splitting the number into two parts, the ‘stem’ and the ‘leaf. For example: In the number 36, the tens would form the stem and the units the leaf.

Messenger RNA can travel between different types of stem cells through tunnel-like structures, as revealed by a new study. By ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists at UC Santa Cruz were able to create “programmable” cellular models of embryos without ...

Researchers have succeeded in generating high-quality feline embryonic stem cells using sperm and eggs from testes and ovaries discarded during sterilization surgery. As different as they may seem ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...
