Researchers Unite To Provide Tools To Speed Stem Cell Research
Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed tools to help solve two of the main problems slowing the progress of stem cell research — how to quickly test stem cell response to different drugs or genes, and how to create a large supply of healthy, viable stem cells to study from only a few available cells.The researchers have created methods to study millions of stems cells on devices the size of a standard microscope slide.
