Stem cell researchers a Stanford University have developed a procedure that shows promise for identifying the safest embryonic and iPS (induced pluripotent stem cell) cells to use for research. Read More
Scientists Study Impact of Adult Stem Cell Research
New research says studying both adult and embryonic stem cells can benefit medical science, but banning the study of either type could harm studies of the other. Read More
Political and Funding Uncertainty Obstructs Progress in all Forms of Stem Cell Research

Stem Cells Sabotage Their Own DNA to Produce New Tissues
A new study from the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI) and the University of Ottawa suggests that stem cells intentionally break their own DNA as a way of regulating tissue development. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS), could dramatically change how researchers think about tissue development, stem cells and cancer. Read More
Singapore Scientists Make Key Breakthrough in Stem Cell Research
A scientific team in Singapore has unveiled the most important genes in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). This discovery is an essential breakthrough in determining how human stem cells help the effort to improve research turning mature stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Scientists are now able to highlight the fundamental differences between stem cells from different species, and the greater need to use human cells in stem cell research.. Read More
