Researchers discovered a molecular timer that gets activated in the first days of pregnancy and influences when mice give ...

This is a confocal microscopy image of human fibroblasts derived from embryonic stem cells. The nuclei appear in blue, while smaller and more numerous mitochondria appear in red. Disclaimer ...

What Somatic Cell Types Can Be Reprogrammed into iPS Cells? Most iPS cell lines established in earlier studies were derived from fibroblasts. Can iPS cells be established from other somatic cell ...

They isolated and grew fibroblasts collected from volunteers’ scalps (non-volar skin) and soles (volar skin) and subjected these cells to high pressure by adding a viscous chemical. They found that ...

The team has unveiled an innovative technique to convert fibroblasts—common connective tissue cells—into mature and functional induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs). Their method relies on combining ...

Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts or 293 cells expressing full-length FGFR 1c were incubated in quiescing media (DMEM, 1 μg/ml insulin, 5 μg/ml transferrin, 0.5 mg/ml bovine serum albumin) for 24–48 h and ...

The journey from panda fibroblasts to iPSCs was not easy ... “Surprisingly, when we used the mouse and human conditions, they didn’t work for the panda [cells],” Liu said. “The recipe from the mouse ...

Members of Theme Six are developing stem cell and cellular reprogramming strategies to treat cardiovascular diseases such as infarction in situ. The goal is to use viral vectors to induce ...

Based in Houston, FibroBiologics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a pipeline of treatments and potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblast cells and fibroblast-derived ...
