Scientists rid stem cell culture of key animal cells
...differentiated state is critical. The feeder cell dogma now can be overturned, says lead investigator Ren-He Xu, a senior scientist at WiCell, a private, nonprofit research institute.

...death rates of the CLL cells. This challenges the dogma that CLL is a purely accumulative disorder where leukemic cells accumulate because they cannot die. Clearly CLL is a disease in which there is a dynamic interplay between rates of cell division and cell death. The data could enable physicians to pred...Human Eggs Can Develop From Ovarian Surface Cells In Vitro
...m cell research, and cast doubt on the established dogma on the fetal origin of eggs in adult human ovaries. It is now well established that fetal mammalian eggs originate from somatic stem cells.

...g provides direct evidence to overturn a long-held dogma in reproductive biology, that female mice generate egg cells only during fetal development and thus are born with a finite stock of eggs that declines throughout life.
