A decade of embryonic stem cell research

Medical science got a big boost when James Thomson of the University of Wisconsin-Madison announced on Nov 6, 1998 that he had successfully derived and sustained the culturing of human embryonic stem cells.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Generated Without Viral Integration

We generated mouse induced pluripotent stem cells from fibroblasts and liver cells by using nonintegrating adenoviruses transiently expressing Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc. These adenoviral iPS cells show DNA ...

Generation of Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Without Viral Vectors

Abstract Induced pluripotent stem cells have been generated from mouse and human somatic cells by introducing Oct3/4, and Sox2 with either Klf4 and c-Myc or Nanog and Lin28 using retroviruses or lentiviruses.

Scripps research scientists identify compounds for stem-cell production from adult cells

In the study, the scientists screened known drugs and identified small molecules that could replace conventional reprogramming genes, which can have dangerous side effects.

Microcaptivations - ISCO: "A New Kind of Stem Cell Company"

Parthenogenetic cells promise to alleviate two critical problems inherent in cell transplantation today: immune rejection and the ethical issues associated with the use of fertilized human embryos.

Where the candidates stand: Stem cell research

The issue of allocating federal funds for embryonic stem cell research remains a salient issue in the 2008 presidential election.
