Scientists find 'better way' to grow adult stem cells (BBC)

A new plastic surface which overcomes the difficulties associated with growing adult stem cells has been developed, according to scientists.

Standard surfaces have proved limited for growing large amounts and retaining the stem cells' useful characteristics.

It is hoped the discovery could lead to the creation of stem cell therapies for re-growing bone and tissue, and also for conditions such as arthritis.

The study was carried out by Glasgow and Southampton universities.

The new "nano-patterned" surface was created using a manufacturing process similar to that used to make Blu-ray discs.

1. Out of the UK I see.

2. Them and their damn socialist medicine

Oh well, maybe they can find a way to redeem themselves, like using those stem cells to make my penis larger, like any good captalist company would do.

3. I see they are growing them and not inventing them. Fair enough. n/t
