Five researchers at the University of Cambridge have won advanced grants from the European Research Council (ERC), Europe’s premier research funding body. 

Scientists at the University 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.
