Carlsbad isn’t all golf, eyewear, and screen printed T-shirts. No. There is some serious science going on in these hills. In fact, Invitrogen Corporation has just announced that it’s launching a new “engineered stem cell line” that will help researchers and possibly medical ethicists.
Acccording to brainiac Joydeep Goswami vice president, stem cells and regenerative medicine this is how it works:
The BG01v/hOG cell line is a tool that can make stem cell research faster, easier and more reliable. It is crucial for stem cell researchers to know if the cells they are working with are still pluripotent, or if they have already begun to differentiate. With this line, they can quickly make that determination and simultaneously monitor whether their media composition is optimal for keeping the cells undifferentiated.”
Huh?
