Stem Cells' 'Suspended' State Preserved By Key Step, Scientists Report
July 10, 2009 — Scientists have identified a gene that is essential for embryonic stem cells to maintain their all-purpose, pluripotent state. Exploiting the finding may lead to a greater understanding of how cells ... > full story -
New Treatment Avenue For Acute Myeloid Leukemia?
July 9, 2009 — Medical researchers have developed the first leukemia therapy that targets a protein, CD123, on the surface of cancer stem cells that drive acute myeloid leukemia, which is an aggressive disease with ... > full story -
Human Sperm Created From Embryonic Stem Cells
July 8, 2009 — Researchers have created human sperm from embryonic stem cells. The embryonic stem cells were cultured in a new medium containing vitamin A derivative (retinoic acid), using a new ... > full story -
