Celebrating 10 Years of hESC Cell Lines
Ten years ago this November, a paper was published that led to an explosion in the field of stem cell research. In November 1998, Dr. James Thomson’s laboratory reported the first derivation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines from human blastocysts (Science 1998;282:1145–1147).

To celebrate this landmark discovery, and to look forward to the future of stem cell research, STEM CELLS has begun an interview series titled “Celebrating 10 Years of hESC Cell Lines”. Over the next several months, STEM CELLS will present interviews reflecting on the lives and achievements of some of the premiere scientists in the field of stem cells and Regenerative Medicine. The series continues here with “An Interview with Christine Mummery”.

Read the Introductory Editorial to this series from Dr. Miodrag Stojkovic, Co-Editor of Stem Cells, in the November issue of STEM CELLS.

Read our interview with Dr. Mummery in the January issue of STEM CELLS.

Read additional excerpts from our interview with Dr. Mummery, available only on the Stem Cells Portal.
