Researchers at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have, for the first time,
coaxed human stem cells to become sensory interneurons — the cells that give us our sense of touch.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have discovered an easy and efficient way to
coax human pluripotent
stem cells to regenerate bone tissue — by feeding them adenosine, a naturally occurring molecule in the body.
The
stem cells, derived from
human umbilical cord - blood and
coaxed into an embryonic - like state, were grown without the conventional use of viruses, which can mutate genes and initiate cancers, according to the scientists.
In September a European team reported
coaxing human embryonic
stem cells from an «arrested» IVF embryo — one that had stopped dividing before it reached the blastocyst stage and thus died a natural death.
The researchers
coaxed white blood cells from
humans and other apes into forming
stem cells, from which they grew organoids.
But making chimeras with
human organs whose development can be studied is more likely to succeed than the technique researchers have been trying for years:
coaxing stem cells growing in lab dishes to become three - dimensional, functional tissues and organs.
by Paroma Basu Scientists grow critical nerve cells MADISON, WI — January 31, 2005 — After years of trial and error, scientists have
coaxed human embryonic
stem cells to become spinal motor neurons, critical nervous system pathways that relay messages from the brain to the rest of the body.
Globs of
human fat removed during liposuction conceal versatile cells that are more quickly and easily
coaxed to become induced pluripotent
stem cells, or iPS cells, than are the skin cells most often used by researchers, according to a new study from Stanford's School of Medicine.
Lanza's team figured out how to
coax stem cells taken from
human embryos into becoming the RPE cells that die off along with photoreceptors in macular degeneration, and in 2011 the team began injecting these manufactured cells into patients» eyes.
Researchers had developed the technologies needed to create organoids years before — how to grow cells in culture, how to isolate
stem cells from
human tissue, and how to
coax the
stem cells, undifferentiated and immature, to become specific types of cells at later stages of development.
