Scientists Replicate Diseases In The Lab With New Stem Cell Lines

�A fructify of new stem cell lines will make it possible for researchers to explore x different genetic disorders-including sinewy dystrophy, juvenile diabetes, and Parkinson's disease-in a multifariousness of cell and tissue paper types as they develop in laboratory cultures.


Researchers led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator George Q. Daley have converted cells from individuals with the diseases into stem turn cells with the same genetic errors. These newly-created stem cells will let researchers to reproduce human tissue formation in a Petri dish as it occurs in individuals with any of the x diseases, a vast improvement over flow technology. Like all root cells, these disease-specific stalk cells rise indefinitely, and scientists stool coax them into seemly a
