Investigators at University of Cambridge, Cambridge Institute for Medical Research release new data on stem cell research

A report, 'Status of genomic imprinting in human embryonic stem cells as revealed by a large cohort of independently derived and maintained lines,' is newly published data in Human Molecular Genetics. According to recent research from the United Kingdom, "Investigation of the epigenetic stability of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is a crucial step for their use in cell-replacement therapies, as well as for assessing whether hESCs model epigenetic regulation in human pre-implantation cell types. To address these issues, we have examined the expression of imprinted genes in a previous study and more recently in 46 individual hESC lines as part of the International Stem Cell...
