A little bit of history about cells

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the history of stem cells, specifically highlighting key milestones in their discovery and application. In 1968, the first successful bone marrow transplant was performed for treating Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID). The isolation of mouse embryonic stem cells occurred in 1981, followed by the characterization of human embryonic stem cells in 1998. Gail Martin, a developmental biologist at the University of California, San Francisco, is credited with co-discovering stem cells during her research on mouse cells in 1981.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stem cell biology
  • Familiarity with bone marrow transplant procedures
  • Knowledge of embryonic stem cell research
  • Awareness of key figures in developmental biology
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the process and implications of bone marrow transplants
  • Study the differences between somatic and embryonic stem cells
  • Explore the contributions of Gail Martin to stem cell research
  • Investigate recent advancements in human embryonic stem cell applications
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, medical professionals, and students interested in stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and the historical context of stem cell research.

Hey Everyone :)

I'm trying to find out the year on which ~stocks cells~ has been discovered? I'm really not sure about the english word... but in french we call them "cellules souches". I've search a bit on google but couldn't find anything.

Edit: Okay I found the correct english word, they are call Stem Cells. :-p

Thanks!

Hope this may help. It was posted by Monique for a previous thread.

Bone marrow may be described as somatic stem cells. The person who first coined the term http://www.ucsf.edu/research/stem_cells.html was Gail Martin, a developmental biologist at Univ of Cal - San Francisco, she co-discivered them in cell mouse studies in 1981.
