    Ontogenic growth of the haemopoietic stem cell pool in humans

    Aug 7, 2007 - Recently, the size of the active stem cell pool has been predicted to scale allometrically with the adult mass of mammalian species with a 3/4 power exponent, similar to what has been found to occur for the resting metabolic rate across species.Here

    Specification of CNS glia from neural stem cells in the embryonic neuroepithelium

    Feb 5, 2007 - All the neurons and glial cells of the central nervous system are generated from the neuroepithelial cells in the walls of the embryonic neural tube, the ‘embryonic neural stem cells’. The stem…

    Stem cells as a therapeutic tool for the blind: biology and future prospects

    Oct 22, 2011 - Retinal degeneration due to genetic, diabetic and age-related disease is the most common cause of blindness in the developed world. Blindness occurs through the loss of the light-sensing photoreceptors; to restore vision, it would be necessary to

    Induced pluripotent stem cells for modelling human diseases

    Aug 12, 2011 - Research into the pathophysiological mechanisms of human disease and the development of targeted therapies have been hindered by a lack of predictive disease models that can be experimentally manipulated in vitro. This review describes the current

    Neural stem cells: involvement in adult neurogenesis and CNS repair

    Mar 13, 2008 - Recent advances in stem cell research, including the selective expansion of neural stem cells (NSCs) in vitro, the induction of particular neural cells from embryonic stem cells in …

    The topographical regulation of embryonic stem cell differentiation

    Jun 29, 2004 - The potential use of pluripotent stem cells for tissue repair or replacement is now well recognized. While the ability of embryonic stem (ES) cells to differentiate into all cells of the body is undisputed, their…

    Stem cells for the treatment of heart failure

    Oct 19, 2015 - Stem cell-based therapy is currently tested in several trials of chronic heart failure. The main question is to determine how its implementation could be extended to common clinical practice. To fill this gap, it is critical to first validate the
