  • Identification Of Small Molecule That Destroys Potentially Dangerous Cells May Improve Stem Cell Therapies


    — Authority Authority:
    Pluripotent stem cells can turn, or differentiate, into any cell type in the body, such as nerve, muscle or bone, but inevitably some of these stem cells fail to differentiate and end up mixed in with their newly differentiated daughter cells. Because these remaining pluripotent stem cells can subsequently develop ...
