Sentences with phrase «same as embryonic stem cells»

Stem cells found in the blood and bone marrow are immature cells that develop into red and white blood cells, platelets and additional stem cells (they are not the same as embryonic stem cells).

Not exact matches

Embryonic stem cells are scientifically and medically interesting because they are «pluripotent» (capable of generating many cell types), but they are not the same as totipotent single - cell embryos.

Embryonic stem cells are produced during development by the same process of epigenetic programming that later will produce adult cells such as skin and brain.

A type of «virgin birth» stem cell could be as powerful as embryonic stem cells but without the same ethical objections, and are being tested for Parkinson ’s

But the methods used to reprogram cells can damage their DNA, and the iPS cells may not behave in exactly the same way as embryonic stem cells.

The induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that the new method produces have the same ability as embryonic stem cells to turn into any kind of tissue.

When Kaufman, Zon and colleagues looked to see what was different about these early cancer cells, they found that crestin and the other activated genes are the same ones turned on during zebrafish embryonic development — specifically, in the stem cells that give rise to the pigment cells known as melanocytes, within a structure called the neural crest.

The reprogrammed skin cells that have led to this enthusiasm seem to have the same properties as the embryonic stem cells (ESCs) found in human embryos just a few days old.

They view this as a test run for creating human embryonic stem cells in the same way (and according to the team, South Korean biologist Hwang Woo Suk seems to have accidentally accomplished this feat while executing his famously fraudulent human cloning experiment).

I don't think we need the same level of regulation as for human embryonic stem cells, for example, because we are not using any embryos.

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.

Even though different cell types were used as the initial starting materials, and they were made to produce different sets of proteins, both groups identified and isolated cells nearly identical to human embryonic stem cells, and did so in the same timeframe.

Genetic modifications in skin cells (above) induced the cells into what scientists call a pluripotent state — a condition that is essentially the same as that of embryonic stem cells.

He also discussed his current viewpoint on whether induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS)-- which are derived from adult cells — will have the same potential therapeutic utility as human embryonic stem cells.
