The Extraordinary Potential of Totipotent Stem Cells
Totipotent stem cells possess the remarkable ability to give rise to an entire organism. These cells can generate both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues, making them unique in their potential. An exemplary instance of totipotent cells is the zygote, formed through fertilization, which can develop into every cell type in the embryo and the adult organism. […]
Miniature Retina Created from Stem Cells: A Breakthrough in Vision Restoration
Miniature Retina from Stem Cells. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (USA) have achieved a significant breakthrough. Creating a ‘miniature’ retina from stem cells. This 3D human retina tissue, engineered in the lab, contains photoreceptor cells that are capable of responding to light. The initial step towards converting light into visual images. […]
