Five researchers at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge have won advanced grants from the European Research Council (ERC), Europe’s premier research funding body. 

Scientists at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge have for the first time shown that it is possible to derive from a human embryo so-called ‘naïve’ pluripotent stem cells – one of the most flexible types of stem cell, which can develop into all human tissue other than the placenta.

A new technique for determining what causes stem cells to convert into other cell types could revolutionise our understanding of how genes function.

Scientists say ‘No’ to a ban on stem cell patents recommended by the European Court of Justice.

Researchers in Cambridge and Japan will be working together towards a more integrated understanding of how stem cells make decisions.
