A recent study depicted the use of Roche’s Cellavista System to effectively carry out a clonal analysis of embryonic stem (mES) colony self-renewal in an end-point assay. The Cellavista System proved ...

A US drug company has halted the world’s first official trial using human embryonic stem cells for financial reasons. Those who support embryonic stem cell research believe the field holds great ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

We're all very complex organisms, made up of lots of different types of cells carrying out different jobs in our bodies; such as nerve cells, blood cells, fat cells and muscle cells. So, where do they ...

The European Court of Justice has banned patenting of any stem-cell process that involves destroying a human embryo. The capability to convert embryonic stem cells into any type of body tissue makes ...

What causes age-related macular degeneration? Surgeons in London have carried out a pioneering human embryonic stem cell operation in an ongoing trial to find a cure for blindness for many patients.

A form of cloning has been used to create personalised embryonic stem cells in humans, say researchers. Genetic material was taken from an adult skin cell and transferred into a human egg. This was ...

Infertile men could have their own biological children using a new technique that creates sperm from skin cells. Scientists have created viable mouse sperm in a laboratory dish using the technique.
