Stem cells are the raw materials the body uses to build any specific type of cell. Researchers at Michigan State University say they’ve found a new type of stem cell that may be used to regenerate healthy cells. Current State talks with Dr. Amy Ralston and graduate student Anthony Parenti.
Stem cells are a much acclaimed and controversial topic in the scientific world. They’re the building blocks that can grow into any specialized cell type in the body. Stem cells come from both embryo and adult tissues.
A lot of stem cell research focuses on their ability to replace unhealthy cells. This is known as regenerative medicine. Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered a new type of stem cell that they say could advance the field of regenerative medicine.
