More recently, researchers have induced stem cells from diseased human somatic cells, which may serve as new model systems for various illnesses. (sciencemag.org)
Otto, who works with yeast, was excited to see that these rotifers look to be a promising new model system that other researchers can now examine at the molecular level to study what prompts — and what is selected for in — sexual reproduction. (scientificamerican.com)
Organoids, or miniature organs, are a relatively new model system that has emerged from stem cell research and are making a big impact. (closerlookatstemcells.org)
