Creating stem cells from minipigs offers promise for improved treatments
Cells from miniature pigs are paving the way for improved stem cell therapies.
A team led by University of Wisconsin–Madison Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center researcher Wan-Ju Li offers an improved way to create a particularly valuable type of stem cell in pigs – a cell that could speed the way to treatments that restore damaged tissues for conditions from osteoarthritis to heart disease in human patients.
