my understanding is that this is induced pluripotency, not "generation of stem cells". They are very expensive and super touchy to generate and are not truly pluripotent. It's kind of a goofy generation process that reads more like alchemy than science and has a hiiiigh failure rate, which outputs "stemmy" cells not stemcells.

So the paradigm as I understand it has it factually inaccurate to call them "stem cells". Fyi. ^^ I used to work in a lab on limb regeneration and we didn't use IPSCs because of their limitations.

Altho they may be useful in this application. I don't know.

Yes do tell more. My knahledge is old. If we can generate true stem cells it is a huge breakthrough I'm not up on.

It's just word replacement from a dictionary definition, baby girl.

You use the word liberal and leftist derogatorily anytime you want to talk about the opposition. Don't worry little snowflake, it'll be okay. I didn't write any of that myself, just changed one word to show you how sensitive you are to being called out for your support of a demagogue.

"Liberal" and "Leftist" are not inherently derogatory.

The rest of my comment makes it tribal.

"Liberal" is actually the wrong name for modern Leftists, as the majority of you are Authoritarian now.

"Trumpist" is an insult in and of itself.

The rest of your comment was also tribal because it's so asinine that left-leaning media outlets wouldn't even repeat what you said because it defies reality.

This derives from this source. Ergo I am right. That they are germline-compatible is a huge breakthrough from what I thought was the situation, tho.

still's a big stretch of the term "stem cell" in a press release. Stemmy cells which are tampered with in a fashion that causes cancers. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Moon time?

Ohhh, you're one of these psychos who claim there is a resurgence of Neo-Nazism because of space demons
