Earlier this week, researchers published in the journal Cell that they had created embryonic stem cells by cloning human skin cells. An embryo is usually created when sperm enters the egg cell, which then starts to divide. Instead of...

How do cells in your body differentiate into other types of cells? Explore cell specialization featuring stem cells and their role in cell differentiation.

Stem cells have the ability to develop into various types of cells in the body. They hold great potential in regenerating damaged organs and tissues, offering hope for medical therapies. While adult stem cells from sources like umbilical...

In this video, we explore... [1] a brief history of Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) [2] basics of how Induced Pleuripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) were made [3] basic applications of IPSCs

Our bodies are the ultimate factory. Every cell has its specific job to do, and is shaped to do that job perfectly. The fate of each cell is determined during the embryo stage, and then cannot be changed. However, cutting-edge research...

Stem cell therapy is a radical new treatment with the potential to restore eyesight and heal injuries. However, many object to its moral implications. Biology - Cells And DNA - Learning Points. Stem cells can repair or rebuild damaged...

A team of scientists at Heriot-Way University in Edinburgh have developed a method that can can print clusters of human stem cells in various sizes, making them the first scientists to successfully 3D-print human embryonic stem cells, or...

The cells in your body are like computer software: they're "programmed" to carry out specific functions at specific times. If we can better understand this process, we could unlock the ability to reprogram cells ourselves, says...

Revealing the amazing and unique properties of stem cells, and how they can be used to regenerate tissues. Biology - Cells And DNA - Learning Points. There are three different types of stem cell: embryonic, foetal and adult. Stem cells...

Japanese research foundation Riken has developed for the first time a way to generate multilayered retinal tissue from human embryonic stem cells, according to an article published in the June 13 edition of the scientific journal Cell...

A group of researchers from Oregon Health and Science University succeeded in using cloning to create human embryonic stem cells paving the way for the development of replacement tissue to treat diseases, according to a BBC report.

There’s one kind of tumor that’s basically straight out of a horror movie...

This video highlights the potential of stem cell research in treating various medical conditions. It discusses the ethical concerns surrounding embryonic stem cells while emphasizing the use of adult stem cells, which are considered...

Stem Cell Research - The Issues: Professor Ian Wilmut examines the concept of stem cell research, the science behind it and his opinion for the technology, while others present issues for concern. This programme examines the issues...

This video explains the different stages of the cell cycle and how stem cells differentiate to form various cell types. It starts by discussing the structure of chromosomes and then moves onto describing the three stages of the cell...

This video provides an overview of stem cells, including what they are, different types of stem cells (embryonic, adult, and plant meristem), and their potential uses in medicine and plant cloning. The video explains how stem cells can...

This video provides an introduction to stem cells, exploring what they are, the different types that exist, and their potential uses in both plants and humans. The video describes the unique abilities of embryonic and adult stem cells,...

Every single cell in your body contains the same DNA. However, not all of your cells are the same - you have nerve cells, blood cells, skin cells, bone cells and many more different types, that all have a slightly different structure so...

King's College in London is one of the few places in Britain where research using human stem cells is allowed. Stem cells have the potential to develop into any specialized cell in the body, making them a promising avenue for...
