UCLA Scientists Have Isolated The First Stages Of Tissue Production From Human Embryonic Stem CellsScientists at the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center have described a population of cells that mark the very first stage of differentiation of human embryonic stem cells as they enter a developmental pathway that leads to production of blood, heart muscle, blood vessels and bone. Variations in X-Chromosome Inactivation Occur In Early Passages Of Female Human Embryonic Stem CellsHuman embryonic stem cells hold great promise for studying and treating disease and for the practice of regenerative medicine. However, more must be learned to ensure the cells that may one day be transplanted into humans are safe. |
