Fusing Embryonic Stem Cells With Adult Cells With Highly Efficient New Fusing System
Sunday, January 4, 2009 - 17:21
in Biology & Nature
Engineers have developed a new, highly efficient way to pair up cells so they can be fused together into a hybrid cell. The new technique should make it much easier for scientists to study what happens when two cells are combined. For example, fusing an adult cell and an embryonic stem cell allows researchers to study the genetic reprogramming that occurs in such hybrids.
