Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have emerged as ideal tools for developmental biology research due to their characteristics such as unlimited proliferation and pluripotent differentiation potential.

When scientists talk about laboratory stem cells being totipotent or pluripotent, they mean that the cells have the potential, like an embryo, to develop into any type of tissue in the body. What ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Science China Life Sciences, a research team led by Dr. Yang Yang and Dr. Xi Wang from Nanjing Medical University has made a significant breakthrough in stem ...

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...
