NewLimit Series C raises $435M led by Founders Fund as Armstrong-backed startup moves epigenetic therapies toward human ...

Paper in Cloning and Stem Cells shows that animal eggs do not support specific reprogramming toward the normal human embryonic state. Investigators at Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC) have found that ...

In part, this is due to the difficulty in recreating adequate animal or cellular models. By reprogramming skin cells into neurons, Johan Jakobsson and his research group have been able to study ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, Australian scientists have resolved a long-standing problem in regenerative medicine. Led by Professor Ryan Lister from the Harry Perkins Institute of ...

For decades, the idea of resetting the biological clock sounded more like speculative fiction than clinical strategy. The discovery of Yamanaka factors by Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka, which can ...

Scientists report that they have used a cellular reprogramming methodology to allow the creation of neural networks that reproduce unique characteristics of human cells—different from those obtained ...

Scientists have produced stem cells from the endangered Grévy's zebra using human reprogramming factors. Further comprehensive gene analyses identified key genes that are also found in human and mouse ...

Studies on diseases that affect the human brain are usually based on animal models which cannot reproduce the complexity of human neuropathies. Therefore, these methodologies often fail when applied ...

Mammalian hearts have almost no ability to grow new heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, after birth. Thus, dead tissue after an adult heart attack is not repaired with new cardiomyocytes. It is ...
