Scientists have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells is chemically modified in a characteristic, predictable pattern. This pattern distinguishes human embryonic stem cells from normal ...

Researchers reporting in the April 27 issue of the journal Cell have devised a new and improved method for producing genetically modified animals for use in scientific research. The method relies on ...

DNA replication is a major determinant in the targeting reaction in many cell types. Consequences of single-stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ssODN)-mediated gene targeting on cell viability are ...

A joint research team from the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has used stem cells to generate human ...

A discovery, several years in the making, by a UB research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic modification, and ...
