Research in Rodents Suggests Potential for “In Body” Muscle Regeneration

What if repairing large segments of damaged muscle tissue was as simple as mobilizing the

Growth pattern. Forty-two hours after they began to differentiate, embryonic cells are clearly segregating into endoderm (red), mesoderm (blue) and ectoderm (black). Researchers say the key to achieving this patterning in culture is confining the colonies geometrically.
Using geometry, researchers coax human embryonic stem cells to organize themselves

“It brings us closer to the possibility of replacement organs grown in petri dishes and
