Their collaboration has resulted in engineered cells called ‘synthetic organizers’ that deliver instructions to stem cells, telling them to grow into specific tissues and organs.

These particles can enter the human bloodstream and be absorbed by intestinal cells, posing potential health risks. The study found that polypropylene tea bags released around 1.2 billion particles ...

Building on the work of Dr. Shinya Yamanaka of Japan, who discovered that specialized cells could be reprogrammed back to immature stem cells, Watt and his collaborators have taken this work ...

The researchers then tested whether mucus-producing cells derived from human intestines took up these particles in culture over a 24-hour period. The authors were unable to establish any ...

The study shows for the first time the capacity of these particles to be absorbed by human intestinal cells, and are thus able to reach the bloodstream and spread throughout the body. Plastic ...

Stem cell biologists create new human cell type for research Sep 1, 2022 Creating a mouse embryo from stem cells to learn more about the mammalian development process ...

For decades, schools and community organizations have worked to get more girls to “see themselves” as scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. The largest study to date of children’s ...
