The result is a hormone-rich carpet of mouse cells upon which a few human embryonic stem cells are finally placed. There they live like pampered pashas. If their scientist-servants don't feed them ...

At left are images taken from two different embryonic stem cell (ESC) cultures—see red arrows—one from mouse (left) and the other from human (right). Both mouse and human ESCs form compact ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

These embryoids are self-organized, three-dimensional cultures that mimic aspects of early embryonic development ... For this study, the team used mouse stem cells to form the basic building ...

This project, led by UCSC postdoctoral scholar Gerrald Lodewijik and biomolecular engineering alumna and current Caltech graduate student Sayaka Kozuki, used mouse stem cells that are commonly ...

Figure 1: Delivery of synthetic shRNA into Nanog-GFP mouse ES cells. M15 ES cell medium with ... to each of the synthetic shRNA-DMEM mixtures (Step 3). Mix by pipetting up and down or inverting ...

Grow the MEF cultures to confluency, collect the cells and freeze (one vial/flask) as described in Steps 16–20 These are passage-zero MEFs. Split each flask (from Step 3) 1:5 to generate 25 ...

Organoids are made to model human organs and are promising for research and therapy, but there are limitations in their growth and function. A recent study found that placenta-derived IL1 under ...

Programmable cellular models of embryos, known as embryoids, allow scientists to mimic the first few day of embryonic development. The project team, left to right: Ali Shariati, Sayaka Kozuki, and ...
