Sentences with phrase «embryonic stem cells carrying»

Replacement tissue that avoids rejection by a patient's immune system is a step closer to the clinic, as researchers have created human embryonic stem cells carrying the DNA of specific adults.

In May 2005, Hwang and his colleagues reported that it had produced 11 new human embryonic stem (ES) cell lines that carried the genetic signature of patients with diabetes, spinal cord injury, or a genetic blood disorder (Science, 20 May, p. 1096).

The embryos, on average, had just 0.2 % of carried - over mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and the resulting embryonic stem cells at first harboured similarly minuscule levels.

Recently, his lab used induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells — adult cells made to act like embryonic stem cells — made from skin cells of patients carrying apoE4, or other mutations related to Alzheimer's, to study their effects on the development, survival, and degeneration of human neurons.

Using pre-implantation genetic diagnosis derived human embryonic stem cell lines (hES) or human induced pluripotent stem cells carrying the causal mutation for neuro - muscular diseases, our objective is double: identify new physiopathogical mechanisms and develop new therapeutic strategies.

Embryonic stems cells often contribute to the germ line, resulting in the production of some sperm carrying the extra DNA.

Henk Stunnenberg, leader of one of the research groups that carried out the study and coordinator of both Heroic and the recently started High Impact Project BLUEPRINT, said: «The epigenetic make - up - a layer of regulatory instructions on top of the genome - of the pure embryonic stem cells shows remarkable and unexpected features, in particular with respect to developmental genes.

In addition to imported embryonic stem cell lines, a campaign was carried out in collaboration with the team of Professor Stéphane Viville in Strasbourg, which has enabled us to bank 19 lines from embryos discarded during a preimplantation diagnosis because of the presence of a genetic defect responsible for a severe disease.

His pioneering mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell work in the 1980s, demonstrating germ - line transmission and the great potential of ES cells to generate mice carrying mutations in endogenous genes, established milestones in a field that saw the award of the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Mario Capecchi, Martin Evans, and Oliver Smithies.
