The stem cell field owes a great deal to the previous work conducted by embryologists and researchers devoted to reproductive medicine. The time is coming when this emerging field will pay off in the reproductive sciences by offering new avenues of understanding gametogenesis and early embryonic development.

Liver development is restored by blastocyst complementation of HHEX knockout in mice and pigs
Background There are over 17,000 patients in the US waiting to receive liver transplants, and these numbers are increasing dramatically. Significant effort is being made to obtain functional hepatocytes and liver tissue that can for therapeutic use in ...

Intracellular role of IL-6 in mesenchymal stromal cell immunosuppression and proliferation
Interleukin (IL)-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the regulation of hematological and immune responses. IL-6 is secreted chiefly by stromal cells, but little is known about its precise role in the homeostasis of human mesenchymal stromal cells ...

Stem cells, cancer, and cancer stem cells [PDF]
Stem cell biology has come of age. Unequivocal proof that stem cells exist in the haematopoietic system has given way to the prospective isolation of several tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells, the initial delineation of their properties and expressed genetic programmes, and the beginnings of their utility in regenerative medicine.
