In 2006, researchers introduced a method to reprogram adult cells into a pluripotent state. These induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could then be coaxed to differentiate into different cell ...

Prentice — a stem-cell researcher and my good friend — took a sabbatical from his Indiana State University professorship to tout the great potential of adult stem cells (and to oppose human ...

AT THE MOMENT, the only FDA-approved stem cell treatment is a bone marrow transplant to treat blood diseases. The FDA has issued a consumer alert about any other “stem cell products," including ...

Techniques that cause multipotent adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into cells of the chondrogenic lineage have led to a variety of experimental strategies to investigate ...
