Paper in Cloning and Stem Cells shows that animal eggs do not support specific reprogramming toward the normal human embryonic state. Investigators at Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC) have found that ...

Scientists report that they have used a cellular reprogramming methodology to allow the creation of neural networks that reproduce unique characteristics of human cells—different from those obtained ...

Scientists have produced stem cells from the endangered Grévy's zebra using human reprogramming factors. Further comprehensive gene analyses identified key genes that are also found in human and mouse ...

Studies on diseases that affect the human brain are usually based on animal models which cannot reproduce the complexity of human neuropathies. Therefore, these methodologies often fail when applied ...

Billionaire Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong has launched a new “epigenetic reprogramming” company, called NewLimit, with the goal of greatly extending the human lifespan. Armstrong is collaborating ...

Mammalian hearts have almost no ability to grow new heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, after birth. Thus, dead tissue after an adult heart attack is not repaired with new cardiomyocytes. It is ...
