When it comes to generating neurons, researchers have found that not all embryonic stem cell lines are equal. In comparing neurons generated from two NIH-approved embryonic stem cell lines ...

The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine and its partners are selling thousands of stem cell samples before many of ...

Embryonic stem cell lines are being used to develop new cellular therapies for spinal cord injuries and various diseases, to screen for new drugs and to better understand inherited diseases.

Just remind us, what is a stem cell line? PALCA: Well, that's a good question, actually. Let's start talking about embryonic stem cell lines, since that's what the fiery part of the debate is all ...

Researchers in South Korea say they have created the first human embryonic stem-cell lines using DNA from injured or sick donors who could theoretically benefit from such cells. The new cloning ...

Six new human embryonic stem cell lines derived at the University of Michigan have just been placed on the National Institutes of Health's registry, making the cells available for federally funded ...

Stem Cell Lines NPR's Joanne Silberner reports on the impact of the President's decision on scientific research. Scientists say they need more embryonic stem cell lines than what's currently ...

Another 96 embryonic stem cell lines are undergoing NIH review, and 20 or more could get a decision by Friday, Collins said. And researchers have notified the NIH that they may apply for approval ...

Stem cell research that uses pluripotent stem cells derived from human skin or blood cells has led to numerous discoveries, aided drug development, and proven useful in gene therapies.However, many of ...

Five cell lines out of 140 doesn’t sound so bad. You might think otherwise if you received cells from any of the five. In fact, some cell lines have been used more than others, so five out of ...

In a decade of research on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), scientists have largely depended on just two cell lines, greatly limiting the diversity of research in the budding field, according to a ...
