Progress in growth factor research

Undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells growing in culture with fibroblasts. The fibroblasts have been treated so they don't divide but are present to provide factors that maintain the stem cells in their undifferentiated state. The stem cells appear to be underneath a layer of fibroblasts. The stem cell line is derived from the inner cell mass of a human embryo.

Human embryonic stem cells

Human embryonic stem cell (gold) growing on a layer of supporting cells (fibroblasts). Stem cells are derived from very early embryos and can either be grown to stay in their original state or triggered to form almost any type of human cell. The fibroblasts provide special factors that maintain the stem cells in their original state. The stem cell appears to be grasped by the underlying fibroblast. Stem cell research could lead to cures for many diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and diabetes, where a patient's cells are damaged or absent.

Cytokine & growth factor reviews

Undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells growing in culture with fibroblasts. The fibroblasts have been treated so they don't divide but are present to provide factors that maintain the stem cells in their undifferentiated state. The rounder stem cells appear to be growing underneath a layer of fibroblasts. The stem cell line is derived from the inner cell mass of a human embryo.
