Currently, researchers use genetic modification techniques, such as lentiviral transduction of transcription factors, to generate immune cells from human stem cells, which poses a safety concern for ...

Scientists have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells is chemically modified in a characteristic, predictable pattern. This pattern distinguishes human embryonic stem cells from normal ...

Realizing the potential of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in research and commercial applications requires generic protocols for culture, expansion and genetic modification that function ...

Currently, genetically modified mice are made from embryonic stem cells carrying two copies of every gene, one from mom and one from dad.

Genetically altering stem cells in order to test new drugs may have become easier thanks to research at U.C. San Diego.

China has worked out bio-safety and ethical guidelines to regulate the research on stem cell and genetic modification, said Vice Minister of Science and Technology Li Xueyong on Tuesday.

The new approach works in 20 percent of embryonic stem cells,compared to less than 1 percent treated with standard methods, said Yang Xu, aUCSD professor of biology, who led the study, assisted by ...
