Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Now, using genetic labeling techniques, three new studies trace cell lineages in new tumors to provide strong evidence for the existence of cancer stem cells. Published today (August 1) in Nature and ...

From lens focal lengths and fill-flash to portraits, macro or stunning landscapes there are techniques for everyone. Learn how to use metering, considering composition and shoot everything from ...

The most-established techniques for iPSC production use retroviral or lentiviral vectors, which integrate into the genomes of reprogrammed cells and thereby become a lasting, problematic source of ...

Stem cells hold a lot of potential for regenerative medicine. Each year, scientists discover how to better model complex diseases in the laboratory using these cells. Why is it then that scientists ...

In addition to conducting research at UC Davis, students also take courses on stem cell laboratory techniques and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) at UC Davis. To read about the research students in ...

Cell culture is a fundamental technique in biotechnology and life sciences that involves growing and maintaining living cells outside their natural environment, typically in a controlled laboratory ...

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...
