Professor Vincent Pasque and his team at KU Leuven have managed to generate a new type of human cell in the lab using stem cells. The new cells closely resemble their natural counterparts in early human embryos.

Stem cell biologists unravel regulation of placental cellsIn order for all cells to perform their function correctly, DNA regulation is necessary. This is an essential process, especially during pregnancy, because embryonic cells have to develop into

Date Time New criteria bring stem cell research one step closer to long-sought goal Creating stem cells that can give rise to any cell type in the early embryo and its supporting structures, including the placenta: some call it ‘the holy grail’ of stem cell research. An international team of researchers offer new criteria to determine whether a mouse stem cell line has this much-wanted ability, known as totipotency. Fluorescent image showing labelled cells in mouse embryos and gene express...

Stem cell research is the prerequisite for regenerative medicine, which with the help of the body’s cells recreates and heals important organs. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet, SickKids in Canada and KU Leuven in Belgium have found a method for defining...
