Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered the combinations of biological and chemical signals needed to rapidly generate human cell types from human embryonic stem cells, according to Stanford Medicine News. Pure populations of up to 12 cell types can now be created in five to nine days, as opposed to the weeks or months previously required.
The senior authors of the study are Irving Weissman, director of Stanford’s Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine and its Ludwig Cancer Center, and Lay Teng Ang of the Genome Institute of Singapore. The lead authors of the study are Stanford Ph.D. student Kyle Loh and research assistant Angela Chen. The study was published on July 14 in Cell.
Cell types that can be produced include bone, heart muscle and cartilage. This may allow researchers to create beating heart cells for heart attack patients or cartilage or bone to aid in joint repair.
“Previously, people had some success in turning stem cells into different cell types,” Loh said. “The problem was, it often took a very long time, like weeks or months, and moreover, they generated an impure mixture of cell types.” Researchers might have gotten bone cells, heart cells and pancreatic cells, as opposed to the pure populations generated by the newfound method.

I am a website designer. Recently, I am designing a website template about gate.io. The boss’s requirements are very strange, which makes me very difficult. I have consulted many websites, and later I discovered your blog, which is the style I hope to need. thank you very much. Would you allow me to use your blog style as a reference? thank you!

I may need your help. I’ve been doing research on gate io recently, and I’ve tried a lot of different things. Later, I read your article, and I think your way of writing has given me some innovative ideas, thank you very much.
