In their publication in Science, Professor Guojun Sheng (Kumamoto University, Japan), Professor Alfonso Martinez Arias (Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Spain) and Professor Ann Sutherland (University of ...

Materials scientists at UNSW Sydney have shown that human pluripotent stem cells in a lab can initiate a process resembling the gastrulation phase – where cells begin differentiating into new cell ...

A serendipitous discovery in the lab has the potential to revolutionize embryo models and targeted drug therapies. Materials scientists at UNSW Sydney have shown that human pluripotent stem cells in a ...
