Stem cells

A new bioprocessing system enables large-scale production of heart muscle cells from stem cells

Mysterious molecules called lncRNA direct the fate of stem cells in the early mouse embryo

An evaluation study shows that more efficient cell-sorting methods are needed to make stem cell-derived tissues sufficiently safe for transplantation

Discovery of a replacement for an ‘indispensible’ reprogramming factor provides new ways to generate stem cells

Reprogrammed adult cells can display different qualities depending on how they were generated

A fibrous polymer scaffold can deliver liver-like cells into damaged liver for tissue repair

An antibody that selectively kills off undifferentiated stem cells may improve their clinical usefulness

A novel transcription factor can facilitate the reprogramming of somatic cells into stem cells
