No consensus on stem cells
Article Abstract:
The stem-cell researchers promote the incorporation of the marker genes that renders stem cells visible using fluorescence and conventional microscopy by adopting techniques that are more robust. The clinical trials are trying to solve various problems faced by the adult stem cells during their reproducibility.

Stem cells manufacturing and testing
Article Abstract:
New process development and production challenges have emerged for the stem cell field, as stem cell therapy programs progress toward clinical trials. Custom media development should be coupled with the selection of suitable production system in order to address cell culture needs for stem cells.

Stem cell division is regulated by the microRNA pathway
Article Abstract:
One of the key characteristics of stem cells is their capacity to divide long period of time in the environment where most of the cells are quiescent. The necessity of the microRNA (miRNA) pathway for proper control of germline stem cell (GSC) division in Drosophila melanogaster is reported.
