Scientists create mouse embryo only from embryonic stem cells An international team of researchers has developed a mouse embryonic stem cell-based (ESC) in vitro model. They used only ESCs (a first), which were coaxed into becoming extraembryonic endoderm stem cells and then trophoblast stem cells.Read More
Innovative approach keeps cells alive during RNA extraction Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) and ETH Zurich have jointly developed an innovative single-cell transcriptome profiling approach, called Live-seq, that keeps cells alive during RNA extraction for further study while also being minimally invasive.Read More
NIH awards $10.6M grant to create atlas of aging cells The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded a $10.6 million grant as part of the Cellular Senescence Network program, which aims to create a comprehensive atlas of how and where aging cells accumulate in tissues to advance potential treatments for age-related diseases.Read More
AIDS 2022 research sheds new light on HIV cells New research presented at the AIDS 2022 conference shows the HIV-infected memory CD4+ T-cell reservoir is a distinctive cell population that may be uniquely susceptible to specific targeted therapies.Read More
