Researchers Grow Functioning Human Liver Tissue from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Japanese researchers working with induced pluripotent stem cells have coaxed a semi-functional, liver-like tissue from a petri dish in what could mark a significant step forward for regenerative medicine and the science of creating new, working organs from scratch. There’s still a long way to go of course, but researchers are enthusiastic that the work could light the way forward for pluripotent stem cell research into organ generating... full story

Scientists Create Bone Using Layered Clay
A common industrial material turns stem cells into bone cells, a discovery that could throw open the door to major tissue engineering breakthroughs. Researchers at Brigham and Women’s hospital have discovered that layered clay-that is, synthetic silicate nanoplatelets used in everything from glass and ceramics to food additives-can induce stem cells to become bone cells...

Human embryonic stem cells arranged using 3D printing technique
Already revolutionizing manufacturing, 3D printing technology also promises to revolutionize the field of biotechnology. While scientists have previously had success in 3D printing a range of human stem cell cultures developed from bone marrow or skin cells, a team from Scotland's Heriot-Watt University claims to be the first to print the more delicate, yet more flexible,...
