Summary:

U.S. scientists have discovered embryonic stem cells like to be gently shaken or sloshed, much in the same way they are in a mother's womb. Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University researchers said such shaking significantly improves embryonic stem cell development and might some day even be used to control what type of cell they eventually become.
