Pluripotent stem cells, created from human skin or mouse ear tissue, are shown here becoming endoderm cells. The endoderm is one of the three primary germ layers that ultimately contribute to the ...

Animal development consists of a cascade of tissue differentiation and shape change. Associated mechanical signals regulate tissue differentiation. Here we demonstrate that endogenous mechanical cues ...

How did the gut, the skin and musculature evolve? This question concerns scientists for more than a century. Through the investigation of the embryonic development of sea anemones, a very old animal ...

Interim results from a multicenter clinical trial demonstrate insulin secretion from engrafted cells in patients with type 1 diabetes. The safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the implants, which ...

For the first time, scientists have derived insulin-secreting pancreatic endoderm cells from human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), grafted these cells into 26 patients with type 1 diabetes, and ...

How do cells turn into organs? During embryonic development, three germ layers form, known as the endoderm, the mesoderm, and the ectoderm. These germ layers give rise to different parts of the ...

An unexpectedly versatile and regenerative stem cell in early embryos may be key to creating new effective fertility treatments, suggests a new study in mice from the University of Copenhagen. It ...
