Amazing Breakthrough for Cinderella Cells
The specialized cells that end up forming the spinal cord, bone and muscle tissue inside a growing embryo are called Cinderella cells and now, for the first time ever, they have been produced inside a laboratory using stem cells. This amazing new discovery can lead the way for countless new treatments. These Cinderella cells are neuro-mesodermal progenitor cells (NMPs). These NMPs are told what … [Read more...]
