Giant Panda, Induced pluripotent stem cell
"Beautiful" Giant Panda Stem Cells Could Be The Key To Saving The Species
With giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) a beloved, but vulnerable species, scientists have long been searching for innovative ways to ensure their survival. Now, a multi-institution team may well have found one – they’ve successfully taken regular giant panda skin cells,
Giant panda skin cells transformed into stem cells to help ensure their survival
A team of biologists in China has reprogrammed skin cells from giant pandas into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), opening the door to creating primordial germ cells that could serve as precursors to sperm and egg cells.
Scientists have just turned giant panda skin cells into stem cells
If the pluripotent stem cells can be turned into precursors to egg and sperm cells, the feat could potentially be a big deal for giant panda conservation.
Stem Cells Could Save the Giant Panda
Scientists have perfected the recipe to convert giant panda skin cells into stem cells to study the animal’s biology and aid its conservation.
Chinese scientists cultivate giant panda stem cells
For the first time, Chinese scientists have cultivated stem cells of giant pandas which is expected to offer materials for panda characteristics research as well as treatment for diseases without hurting any giant panda,
Chinese scientists hope panda stem cell breakthrough can help species survive
Researchers have created a type of self-renewing cell that could help future research and preserve vital genetic resources.
