The same genes that are chemically altered during normal cell differentiation, as well as when normal cells become cancer cells, are also changed in stem cells that scientists derive from adult cells, according to new research.

ScienceDaily (Nov. 5, 2009) Scientists in Belgium have successfully differentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESC) into major cell types of lung epithelial tissue using a convenient air-liquid interface. The technique, published in BioMed Central's open access journal Respiratory Research, could provide an alternative to lung transplants for patients with lung injury due to chronic pulmonary disease...

Researchers funded in part by the National Institutes of Health
have discovered how to transform human embryonic stem cells into
germ cells, the embryonic cells that ultimately give rise to
sperm and eggs. The advance will allow researchers to observe
human germ cells -- previously inaccessible -- in laboratory dishes.

U.S. researchers have found a way to turn embryonic stem cells into the cells that make eggs and sperm, which will give insight into a stage of early development that, until now, has been unable to be studied closely.

Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), cells found in the layer of peripheral embryonic stem cells from which the placenta is formed, are thought to exhibit "immune privilege" that aids cell survivability and is potentially beneficial for cell and gene therapies. Further, the survivability of TSCs has been thought to require the presence of ovarian hormones.
