Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...

A stem cell-derived intestine model reveals glycyrrhizin as a potential treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is characterized by pathological protein- and lipid-rich drusen deposits under the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and atrophy of the RPE monolayer in advanced ...

Researchers announce the development of a mouse embryo model, complete with beating hearts and the foundations for a brain and other organs, out of mouse embryonic stem cells. Just two weeks after ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. However, the exact cause of AD remains unknown. Existing approved treatments for AD are designed to target the ...

Researchers have developed the first patient-derived stem cell model for studying eye conditions related to oculocutaneous albinism (OCA). The model's development is described in the January issue of ...
