Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. We show that multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

How cardiac cell fates are specified during heart development remains elusive. This study identifies a level-dependent role for transcription factor HAND1 in mesoderm patterning and the specification ...

Researchers from Nanjing Medical University have developed a novel method to generate transient totipotent blastomere-like stem cells (tTBLCs) by treating mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) with a ...

From totipotent stem cells at conception, to pluripotent, multipotent, oligopotent, and unipotent stem cells by adulthood – every disease essentially boils down to a dysfunction in the cells and ...

You will be redirected to our submission process. The therapeutic potential of adult multipotent and pluripotent stem cells has garnered significant attention in recent years. These cells, found in ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

A team of CiRA researchers has uncovered the crucial role of EIF3D—a protein translational regulator—in primed pluripotency.

Researchers at Keio University have begun using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) to treat and maybe even cure severe spinal cord injuries. The iPS technology was first conceived by Shinya ...
