Now - the clever bit. The cells on the inside layer of this very early embryo can make all of the cell types needed in your body. They're called stem cells. The stem cells continue to divide by ...

Three individuals with vision disabilities experienced eyesight improvements after receiving stem-cell transplants targeting ...

Researchers at Sinai Health have found that a critical transition in early human development is regulated not by our genes, but by DNA elements called transposons that can move around the genome.

Legal scholar Dr. Joshua Weiser offers a framework for stem cell research in his book, "Embryonic Stem Cells and the Law." ...
