Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have discovered a method to potentially eliminate the tumor-risk factor in utilizing human embryonic stem cells.


Genes that control embryonic stem cell fate identified

Biology /

created Jul 10, 2008 | popularity 5 / 5 (6) | comments 0

Scientists have identified about two dozen genes that control embryonic stem cell fate. The genes may either prod or restrain stem cells from drifting into a kind of limbo, they suspect. The limbo lies between the embryonic ...
