Stanford Scientists Make Stem Cells Pluripotent Using Virus-Free Technique
Published February 9, 2010, 7:19 am, Medical News Today
Tiny circles of DNA are the key to a new and easier way to transform stem cells from human fat into induced pluripotent stem cells for use in regenerative medicine, say scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Unlike other commonly used techniques, the method, which is based on standard molecular biology practices, does not use viruses to introduce genes into the cells or ...
Singapore Scientists Identify Gene That Improves Quality Of Reprogrammed Stem Cells
Published February 9, 2010, 7:19 am, Medical News Today
In the 7 Feb. 2010 issue of the journal Nature, scientists at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), report that a genetic molecule, called Tbx3, which is crucial for many aspects of early developmental processes in mammals, significantly improves the quality of stem cells that have been reprogrammed from differentiated cells. Stem cells reprogrammed from differentiated cells are known as ...
