January 27, 2009 — Geron Corp announced it has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a phase 1 trial of GRNOPC1, a cell therapy derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC), in ...

A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse—a mouse with two male parents—that lived until adulthood. Their results, published ...

A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...

They did this by culturing human embryonic stem cells in a series of steps with just two chemical signals over 48 hours, after which the cells organised themselves into the inner and outer layers of ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

Between 1998 and 2009, research being conducted using human embryonic stem (hES) cells expanded primarily using private funds because of restrictions on the use of federal funds for such research.
