Human Based Stem Cell Culture Medium Developed
ubersonic writes "A new culture medium for growing human stem cells -- that contains no animal products -- is offering researchers a cleaner and therefore safer environment for performing the cutting-edge technology.
The discovery means that stem cells developed for therapeutic use can be transferred directly to human subjects. By using this medium all of the concerns about contaminating proteins in existing stem cell lines can essentially be removed."
Should we really be trusting a story from RedHerring.com?

o0t!
"We describe the derivation of two new human embryonic stem cell lines in... culture that includes protein components solely derived from recombinant sources or purified from human material," reads the paper.
Stem-cell green is people!

Chinese scientists have made amazing advances in enabling multiple births, for those Chinese people who want to have twins. Iranian scientists have also genetically modified a pig so that it will reproduce and grow at 5 times the normal rate. Iran's hunger problems will surely end soon.
I'm sorry. The number you have reached is imaginary. Please rotate your phone 90 degrees and try again.
American scientists expect further research to lead to breakthroughs in Large and Super-Sized stem cell cultures in the near future.
