They also showed that the two populations are located in separate compartments in the pituitary gland and that the embryonic gonadotrophs stay put throughout life, while the stem cell-derived ...

Stem cells can produce any other cell type, it is just a matter of telling them in the right way. From a biological ...

In subsequent experiments, the team confirmed that the timely activation of the seven genes was sufficient to transform mouse embryonic stem cells into HSPC, and that these newly produced cells ...
