By reprogramming human fibroblasts into pluripotent stem cells with somatic cell nuclear transfer, scientists have come up with a viable alternative to iPSCs.
Researchers track DNA modifications and gene expression in stem cells as they differentiate.
Satellites of the Golgi apparatus generate the microtubules used to grow outer dendrite branches in Drosophila neurons.
Microarrays help keep induced pluripotent stem cell lines in check, from start to finish.
Flies turning blue help researchers link the deterioration of the intestinal barrier to age-related death.
Drosophila insulin-like peptides (dILPs) regulate part of the signaling pathway that helps keep organs growing in proportion during development.

Meet some of the people featured in the March 2013 issue of The Scientist.
During development, communication between organs determines their relative final size.
Some of the 200 or so human embryonic stem cell lines approved for federal funding may have been derived from sperm or eggs of unconsenting donors.
