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 ...

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

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 ...

A discovery, several years in the making, by a UB research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic modification, and ...

In these examples, ssODN-directed gene modification was achieved in terminally differentiated quiescent cells, which may occur through other mechanisms than targeting of in vitro cultured actively ...

A House bill that would allow federal funding of stem cell research using human embryos donated by fertility clinics that would otherwise discard them has sparked a heated debate on Capitol Hill ...
