Posted by , on 15 March 2016

This editorial was written by Melissa Little and first appeared in Development.   Organogenesis is an inherently fascinating developmental process. It requires the creation of complex form and function from ...

What would you ask Nobel Prize Laureate Shinya Yamanaka?

Posted by , on 14 March 2016

It’s been 10 years since induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were first reported from the lab of Prof. Shinya Yamanaka. Since then, the field of direct reprogramming has grown immensely, ...

Researchers dig up new molecular details on "the other type" of stem cells

Posted by , on 11 March 2016

Scientists at IRB Barcelona and CSIC reveal that the combination of two molecular signals determines which cells that have already differentiated can regain their stem cell properties. Their studies on ...

Mouse-human neural crest chimeras: Not only a matter of black and white

Posted by , on 25 February 2016

The neural crest arises between neural and non-neural ectoderm and represents a somatic cell type with unique properties of multipotency. The neural crest cells (NCCs) migrate throughout the body and ...

A day in the life of an embryonic stem cell lab!

Posted by , on 5 February 2016

Hi everyone! I’m Helena. Some of you may know me as the current intern here at the Node, but next week, I will go back to Alfonso Martínez Arias’ lab ...

Pluripotency in the mouse and beyond…

Posted by , on 4 February 2016

Preimplantation development establishes the founding cell population of the adult mammal in the epiblast. This naïve pluripotent state employs a unique hand of transcription factors to ensure epigenetic resetting and ...

  Germline Stem Cells Conference June 19-21, 2016 – San Francisco, California Website: www.abcam.com/germlinestemcells Germline stem cells represent a uniquely critical type of stem cell that is essential for fertility ...

Natural Pluripotency vs. Artificial Pluripotency

Posted by , on 20 January 2016

Pluripotency is the developmental potential of cells to become various types of mature cells in the body. During development, a pluripotent embryo progressively differentiates to give rise to mature cell ...
