New stem cells hold potential for generating mature functional tissues

Wednesday, May 6, 2015 - 13:20 in Biology & Nature

Scientists have discovered a new type of stem cell that could potentially generate mature, functional tissues. They report using these new stem cells to develop the first reliable method for integrating human stem cells into nonviable mouse embryos in a laboratory dish in such a way that the human cells began to differentiate into early-stage tissues.
