Accumulating evidence indicates that epigenetic modifiers have key roles in genome-wide reprogramming and activation and repression of specific genes during mammalian germ-cell development.

The ability of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to differentiate into specialized cells of all three germ layers (pluripotency), their capability for unlimited cell division (self-renewal ...

Stem-cell research has enormous potential value ... such as the differing types of blood system cells. A second source is embryonic germ cells that are derived from the primordial reproductive ...

In recent years, scientists developed a variety of stem cell-based models of embryos to overcome these challenges ... a differentiation inhibitor or growth factor to develop into embryoid bodies (EBs) ...

Because these blastoids only use ESCs derived from the epiblast, which becomes the embryo proper with germ layers, they model embryonic development’s pre-implantation period, up to seven days post ...

The new study by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, used human embryonic stem ... differentiate into any ...

Through the isolation of inner cell mass from blastocyst ... and can differentiate into the three germ layers: endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm. "Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells ...

A new study from Cornell University has strengthened the case for using a specific group of molecules—known as microRNAs—as reliable markers to detect testicular germ cell tumors, the most common ...

Malignant testicular germ cell tumors are the most common cancers ... Evidence indicates that the tumors originate in utero during embryonic development and can progress to become an invasive ...

Researchers found that the concentration of menthol in the blood of pregnant women who vape is enough to activate stress-related channels in human embryonic stem cells.
