NIGMS News Releases

A team of scientists has advanced stem cell research by finding a way to endow human skin cells with embryonic stem cell-like properties without inserting potentially problematic new genes into their DNA.

A world wide team of researchers used computer modeling to address one of the trickiest drugs to prescribe—the blood-thinner warfarin. To test the gene-based strategy in patients, NIH is launching a large-scale clinical trial.

NIGMS announces plans for PSI:Biology, a program to support research partnerships between groups of biologists and high-throughput structure determination centers to solve problems of biomedical importance.
