MIT’s New Synthetic Material Allows Stem Cells to Grow Without Foreign Catalysts
Posted on 23. Aug, 2010 by Clay Dillow.
Human pluripotent stem cells – the kind that can become any kind of specialized cell and therefore be used to treat pretty much any kind of cellular damage – hold seemingly limitless promise if only we could manipulate them in useful quantities. N...
