Eternal-youth seekers have great reason to cheer with the revelations of science about stems cells and anti-aging. Evidence is increasingly coming to the forefront that regenerative properties of stem cells can cure many age-related complications and delay aging. Stem cells … Continue reading
Induced pluripotent stem cells, commonly abbreviated as iPS cells or iPSCs are a type of pluripotent stem cell artificially derived from a non-pluripotent cell, typically an adult somatic cell, by inducing a “forced” expression of specific genes. Induced Pluripotent Stem … Continue reading
Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction found in females, where growth and development of embryos occurs without fertilization by a male. In plants, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell, and is a component process … Continue reading
Life Extension Interviews Michael West on new breakthroughs in anti-aging cloning research Cloning: The word sounds like science fiction. But cloning is now science fact for many species, and it could hold the answer for the majority of problems of … Continue reading
Therapeutic cloning: new paradigm for regenerative and stem cell therapy? Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) entails the removal of an oocyte nucleus followed by its replacement with a nucleus derived from a somatic cell obtained from that patient. Activation with … Continue reading
Therapeutic Cloning vs Reproductive Cloning Therapeutic cloning will in time allow scientists to create organs that are a perfect match for those in need of a transplant. The cloned organ would be based on the recipient’s genetic material and would … Continue reading
For a moment in time, an embryonic stem cell has infinite possibilities. These “master” cells that form part of a newly created embryo have the capacity to grow into literally any tissue the body might require: bone, hair, nerves, muscle, … Continue reading
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are cancer cells (found within tumors or hematological cancers) that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. CSCs are therefore … Continue reading
Understanding the workings of stem cells is now seen as essential to the progress of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and cancer therapeutics. Recently, there has been a growing awareness that the behaviors of stem cells emerge out of the highly … Continue reading
Clin Transl Sci. 2009 Jun;2(3):222-7. The pandemic of chronic degenerative diseases associated with aging demographics mandates development of effective approaches for tissue repair. As diverse stem cells directly contribute to innate healing, the capacity for de novo tissue reconstruction harbors … Continue reading
