stem cells

UC San Diego scientists find stem cells’ unique way of discarding misfolded proteins could be the key to maintaining long-term health and preventing disease

To Ward Off Aging, Stem Cells Must Take Out the Trash

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania studied sperm biogenesis in the marmoset, a small monkey species. Providing marmoset inducible pluripotent stem cells with appropriate growth conditions and signals, they were able to coax the cells to begin to resemble primordial germ cells, the precursors of sperm and eggs, that are found in marmoset embryos.

When eyes are dry, the cornea is more susceptible to injury. By tracking the movements of stem cells (in fluorescent green) in a mouse eye, researchers were able to trace the cells as they differentiated into corneal cells and migrated to the center of the cornea, providing clues about how the cells work to help corneal injuries heal.
