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.

University of Georgia researcher Stephen Dalton will lead a new research program focused on understanding the unique properties of embryonic stem cells.

University of Wisconsin researcher James Thomson has been awarded an NIGMS grant to pursue a research program that addresses some of the most fundamental questions about stem cells.

NIGMS has funded three new research programs aimed at uncovering the basic biology of human embryonic stem cells.

Researchers at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine have been awarded $3 million over 3 years to establish an Exploratory Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research. The center joins 5 other such centers funded by NIGMS.

Scientists at the Burnham Institute have been awarded $3 million over 3 years to establish an Exploratory Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research.

NIGMS has funded three new Exploratory Centers for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research. These centers join three others that the institute funded in September 2003. All are limited to using federally approved stem cell lines.

NIGMS-sponsored workshop highlights recent progress in human embryonic stem cell research and outlines some of the remaining challenges.

To elucidate the basic biology of stem cells, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences is funding three Exploratory Centers for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research.
