New Device Generates Stem Cells from Adult Bone Marrow Donors

By Hilary White

TALLAHASSEE, November 14, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A biomedical device that grows stem cells from adult bone marrow may dramatically increase the availability of the cells for research and therapies. The device, called a perfusion bioreactor, mimics the conditions encountered by adult stem cells within the human body and increases the nutrients required for them to develop.
