For years, scientists have researched and hypothesized as to why embryonic stem cells are so fragile and difficult to reproduce. When cultivated in a lab, stem cells have a propensity to die at an imperative stage of the process. Recent findings, which will be published an April issue of PNAS, seem to have an answer for this long debated mystery.
Researchers have found two drugs that, when used individually, have been proven effective at preventing the demise of embryonic cells. In addition to solving this longstanding problem, the researchers also have analyzed why the drugs work and how they promote health in stem cells. This new stem cell study is sure to help future researchers in their efforts to find viable ways of utilizing stem cells in medicine.
