  2. Stem cell controversy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_controversy

    The stem cell controversy concerns the ethics of research involving the development and use of human embryos. Most commonly, this controversy focuses on embryonic stem cells. Not all stem cell research involves human embryos. For example, adult stem cells, amniotic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells do not involve creating, using ...

  3. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

    Stem-cell therapy uses stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition. [1] As of 2016, the only established therapy using stem cells is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [2] This usually takes the form of a bone marrow transplantation, but the cells can also be derived from umbilical cord blood.

  4. Stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell

    Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] In multicellular organisms, stem cells are undifferentiated or partially differentiated cells that can change into various types of cells and proliferate indefinitely to produce more of the same stem cell. They are the earliest type of cell in a cell lineage. [1] They are found in both embryonic and ...

  5. Stem cell laws and policy in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_laws_and_policy...

    Stem cells are cells found in all multi-cellular organisms. They were isolated in mice in 1981, and in humans in 1998. [1] In humans there are many types of stem cells, each with varying levels of potency. Potency is a measure of a cell's differentiation potential, or the number of other cell types that can be made from that stem cell.

  6. Induced pluripotent stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_pluripotent_stem_cell

    Induced pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from a somatic cell. The iPSC technology was pioneered by Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi in Kyoto, Japan, who together showed in 2006 that the introduction of four specific genes (named Myc, Oct3/4, Sox2 ...

  7. Embryonic stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryonic_stem_cell

    Embryonic stem cells ( ESCs) are pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, an early-stage pre- implantation embryo. [1] [2] Human embryos reach the blastocyst stage 4–5 days post fertilization, at which time they consist of 50–150 cells. Isolating the inner cell mass (embryoblast) using immunosurgery results ...
