BME, Petit Institute researchers develop technique for detecting unwanted cells
Dna pictureDespite the hubbub about pluripotent stem cells’ potential applications, when it comes time to introduce products into patients, the stem cells are actually impurities that need to be removed.
So, a team of researchers from Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed an extremely sensitive technique for detecting stray stem cells.
Stem cell expert Chunhui Xu, who is a researcher with the Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience, has teamed up with biomedical engineers Ximei Qian and Shuming Nie (also a Petit Institute researcher) for the research, detailed in Biomaterials.
All three are researchers part of the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, a joint department of Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
