Harnessing Stem Cells to Treat Disease
Thanks to advances in techniques for culturing and genetically modifying patient cells, scientists developed myriad stem cell-based treatments for human diseases. Therapeutic success rates for stem cell-based treatments depend on whether scientists can provide the proper structural and molecular cues to form the cell types lacking in patients. In addition, to support successful engraftment, researchers […]
