Human somatic cells can be directly reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by forced expression of the transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, and eithe
The identification of a single, early marker for full developmental potential of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has proven elusive. Recently, however, act
Background: Recent extensive clinical evidence demonstrated that autologous adult stem cell therapy was safe and effective as a treatment strategy for type 1 di
Vascular formation in vivo involves several processes and signal cascades subsequently occurring in the embryo. Several models by ES cells have been reported fo
