Mouse embryonic skin tissue.

Not exact matches

Scientists looking for new methods to make human tissue have successfully used cloning technology to create embryonic stem cells from skin cells.

Organlike tissue bits can be generated from pluripotent stem cells that are either plucked from embryos or created by taking a person's adult skin or blood cells and chemically inducing them to revert to an embryonic - like state.

Pluripotent stem cells include embryonic stem cells, which are derived from early embryos, and induced pluripotent stem cells, which are made by reprogramming cells taken from adult tissues such as skin.

After analysing the presence of NANOG in different mouse tissues by immunohistochemistry, the CNIO team demonstrated that, in addition to being present in embryonic tissue, this factor is also found in stratified epithelia such as the esophagus, skin or vagina.

A group that included researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the University of Cambridge, both in the United Kingdom, developed a possible treatment for A1ATD by first reprogramming a skin cell from a patient into iPS cells, which are embryonic - like cells that can develop into many tissue types.

Both teams successfully used these to reprogramme skin cells in a lab dish into cells resembling embryonic stem cells, which have the ability to turn into any tissue of the human body.

The research used skin samples from five men to create what are known as induced pluripotent stem cells, which closely resemble embryonic stem cells in their ability to become nearly any tissue in the body.

The potential of iPS cells to help treat everything from damaged heart tissue to Parkinson's disease, has prompted intensive research that has looked into the use of skin fibroblast cells as an alternative to controversial embryonic stem cells.

They successfully converted mature mouse skin cells into what they called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells that had the same wide - open potential as embryonic stem cells — which the researchers showed by turning their iPS cells into nerve and connective tissue cells.

There are studies on embryonic stem cells, which can make all the tissues of your body, and people over the past couple years have been able to take a set of genes and put them in and reprogram the skin cells to think they're an embryonic cell and therefore being able to make all the tissues of your body.

InvivoSciences makes engineered heart tissues from mouse embryonic stem cells and stem cells from differentiated adult tissues in humans, such as fat and skin.

Six tissue types, they found, were significantly «undertargeted» by pharmaceutical research: male reproductive tissues, embryonic structures, skin, cartilage, bone and lymph.

Some researchers are using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells — tissue - specific cells (usually skin cells, but sometimes other tissue cells) that are reprogrammed in the lab to behave like embryonic stem cells — to grow rods and cones or RPE cells.

Dr. ZON: Well, it turns out that when you're making these tissues, and we make many of these cells, skin cells, that are reprogrammed to think that they're embryonic cells, we make many of them here at Children's, they have a certain propensity to differentiate.
