Above, the CCR2- blood stem cell (green) is positioned closer to bone (blue) compared to the rare CCR2+ blood stem cells (white). Generally, cells closer to the bone are more likely to be "quiescent," or...
In a scientific first, HSCI scientists have successfully grown the cells that line the blood vessels—called vascular endothelial cells—from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), revealing new details about how these cells function. Using a unique approach, the researchers induced the differentiation...
Harvard Stem Cell Institute researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) succeeded in using reprogrammed human stem cells to make working blood vessels in mice that can survive for as long as nine months. The blood vessels were created with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from the mature skin cells of both healthy adults and individuals with type 1 diabetes....
