The Niche’s recommended Weekly Reads on stem cell research and regenerative medicine.
It’s been a week with a wide variety of regenerative medicine papers and stem cell news. Here’s my earlier take from a few days ago on the Belmonte-led human-monkey chimeric embryo paper in Cell that broke this week. A few days ago I also put up a new video on our Stem Cell YouTube Channel […]
The first of the month often brings loads of new papers as new issues of journals come out so we have a wave of new stem cell papers. By the way, be sure to enter our stem cell picture contest to try to win $100 or a bundle of stem cell swag. There’s less than

What might be most surprising about this week’s recommended stem cell research reads is there’s nothing about COVID-19 in here. There are, however, some really great papers. And we can expect more developments on the cellular medicine for COVID-19 front coming soon. Before I jump into the reads, if you haven’t already check out our

This week we have some interesting new reading including both on the stem cell basic and translational fronts as well as on COVID-19 vaccines. COVID-19 vaccine considerations From Derek Lowe at In The Pipeline on COVID-19 vaccine expectations at Science Translational Medicine, Get Ready for False Side Effects. You can read my views on possible
