Embryonic Stem Cell 'Cocktail' Can Be Used In Any Mammal, Say Researchers
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 - 13:00
in Biology & Nature
Researchers have what they think may be a basic recipe for capturing and maintaining indefinitely the most fundamental of embryonic stem cells from essentially any mammal, including cows, pigs and even humans. Two new studies reported in Cell, show that a cocktail first demonstrated to work in mice earlier this year, which includes inhibitory chemicals, also can be used to successfully isolate embryonic stem cells from rats. Authentic rat embryonic stem cells had never before been established. read more
