Scientists Reportedly Reversed Type 1 Diabetes by Reprogramming Patient's Fat Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells
Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...

First-Ever 'Synthetic Embryo' Developed Entirely Using Stem Cells From Mice
Stem cells can be used to create a "synthetic embryo" without using a sperm, eggs, or a womb, according to scientists. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science were able to create an artificial embryo using only stem celll from mice. These synthetic embryos grew normally until day 8.5 when the early organ progenitors are formed such as hear...
