Summary:
Biomaterial scientists at the University of Manchester believe they have found a new way of isolating the ‘ingredients’ needed for potential stem cell treatments for nerve damage and heart disease. And the technique could also be used in the future to improve the efficiency of bone marrow transplants. Writing in the journal Stem Cells, the Manchester scientists report how the technique allows cells to be clearly identified depending on whether the antibodies bind themselves to the cells or not.
