The key properties of a stem cell were first defined by Ernest McCulloch and James Till at the University of Toronto and the Ontario Cancer Institute in the early 1960s. They discovered the blood-forming stem cell, the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), through their pioneering work in mice. McCulloch and Till began a series of experiments in which ...
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.
In 1970, Stevens noticed that the cell populations he was studying that gave rise to teratomas were very similar to the cells of very early embryos. [5] Stevens called these cell types "pluripotent embryonic stem cells." In order to study this phenomenon, Stevens selectively bred strain 129 to select for the teratoma tendency.
1971: Place cells in the brain are discovered by John O'Keefe; 1974: Russell Alan Hulse and Joseph Hooton Taylor, Jr. discover indirect evidence for gravitational wave radiation in the Hulse–Taylor binary; 1977: Frederick Sanger sequences the first DNA genome of an organism using Sanger sequencing; 1980: Klaus von Klitzing discovered the ...
1663 – First recorded description of living cells by Robert Hooke.; 1677 – Antonie van Leeuwenhoek discovers and describes bacteria and protozoa. 1798 – Edward Jenner uses first viral vaccine to inoculate a child from smallpox.
An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.
In 1998, Thomson's Lab was the first to report the successful isolation of human embryonic stem cells. On November 6, 1998, Science published this research in an article titled "Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocysts", results which Science later featured in its “Scientific Breakthrough of the Year” article, 1999.

The sites were built and occupied by the Upano people from about 500 B.C. to between 300 A.D. and 600 A.D., with the size of the population yet to be determined.
