Researchers Devise Way To Mass-produce Embryonic Stem Cells

Summary:

Researchers at Ohio State University have developed a method for mass-producing embryonic stem cells. That's important because traditional laboratory methods used to grow these cells are costly and don't produce cells fast enough to respond to increasing demands for human embryonic stem cells. Mass-producing cells like this could reduce stem cell production costs by at least 80 percent, as it requires less equipment and monitoring.
