To study the genetic causes of autism spectrum disorder, a Kobe University research team has created a bank of 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines containing the mutations most strongly associated with ...

A team at Kobe University has created a game-changing resource for autism research: 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines, each carrying a genetic mutation strongly associated with the disorder. By ...

Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology. The AT2-like cells ...

Salk Institute scientists have developed a biological platform for studying mitochondrial DNA in physiology, adaptation, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic development. Headed by Ronald Evans, PhD, ...

A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...
