Chemical biology: Renewing embryonic stem cells
Reka R. Letso1 & Brent R. Stockwell1
Abstract
Embryonic stem cells have great potential in medicine, but the current methods used to grow them prevent their therapeutic use. A dual-action compound has been discovered that may help solve this problem.
Last year, the International Stem Cell Forum stated that a reliable method for growing stem cells that does not depend on animal-derived products is a requirement for future work1. Reporting in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Chen et al.2 describe their progress towards this goal.
