human induced pluripotent stem cells

Studying human embryonic development is complicated for several reasons. Models derived from pluripotent stem cells representing distinct stages offer a path to studying this process.

Studying otherwise identical XY, XX, X0, and XXY pluripotent stem cells will allow researchers to investigate sex-based differences in greater depth.

Most of the human induced pluripotent stem cells stored at major cell line repositories and used in research harbor thousands of DNA errors, a study finds, highlighting the need for improved quality control measures.

Cardiomyocytes made from iPSCs aboard the International Space Station had upregulated mitochondrial functioning.

Insulin-producing cells grown in the lab could offer a functional cure for the disease.

Age-related macular degeneration patients who received injections of retinal cells derived from donors’ induced pluripotent stem cells have maintained their level of eyesight for a year.

The $340 million, 30,000-square-foot center will produce cells for therapeutic applications.

Using human stems cells and segments of rat intestines, scientists engineer bowels that are capable of absorbing nutrients.

Scientists grew organoids that mimic human fetal brains and infected them with the Zika virus to model its neurological effects.

Using human induced pluripotent stem cells, scientists grew liver organoids and studied gene expression patterns in individual cells to learn more about how these tissues develop.
