Generating new stem cell lines is a major focus of many CIRM-funded researchers. Learn why these new lines are considered so important as we accelerate discoveries from the lab bench to the patient’s ...

Bush's decision in August 2001 to permit federal financing for research on human embryonic stem (ES) cells using established ES cell lines. Stem-cell research has enormous potential value in both ...

a timeline of what the cells have been and will be used for and transfer agreement forms if the lines were purchased. The registry involves more than just paperwork, however. A KCDC advisory ...

CIRM has negotiated on behalf of its grantees and California-based researchers immediate access to five research grade versions of clinical-grade human embryonic stem cell lines described in Crook et ...

Morphological profiling allows accurate identification of cell types in dense iPSC-derived cultures, allowing its use for quality control and differentiation monitoring.

Embryonic stem cells carrying the desired gene mutation are then microinjected into blastocyst-stage embryos. Microinjected embryos are transferred into pseudopregnant surrogate mothers that develop, ...

In MS, immune system cells mistakenly attack myelin. With stem cell treatment, doctors use chemotherapy to destroy these existing immune cells. Then, they introduce the new stem cells, which are ...
