Where do stem cells come from? You have probably heard of the wonders of stem cell therapy. Not only do stem cells make research for future scientific breakthroughs possible, but they also provide the basis for medical treatment today. So, where exactly are they from and how are they different from regular cells? The answer depends...

Scientists reprogram embryonic stem cells to expand their potential cell fates
miR-34a-deficient embryonic stem cell culture is enriched with cells with expanded developmental potential as shown by their strong MuERV-L induction (red). These cells are distinct from the classic embryonic stem cells shown by the Oct4 staining (green). MuERV-L are the family of murine endogenous retroviruses activated in the very early embryo. Researchers from the University...
