The Process of Growing Bones from Scratch

Today people in need of bone replacement -- whether because of disease, defect or injury -- can turn to synthetic replacements or they can have another bone in their body cut down so as to supply material for the missing bone. In either case the procedure is extremely painful and not without risk of failure. EpiBone is attempting to disrupt this process by growing human bone from stem cells.

Stem Cells

A stem cell has the ability to take on the characteristics of virtually any cell in the body. This is especially true of embryonic stem cells, which could be the answer to some of our most debilitating and life-threatening conditions.

Test-tube Burger: Cell Culture - Artificial culturing of stem cells into muscle cells

Designing Life. Man has been doing it for over 10,000 years. You may not be aware of it, but we are surrounded by “Superlife," life-forms manipulated by Man. Test-tube Burger: Cell Culture, part of the Superlife Series, looks at artificial culturing of stem cells into muscle cells.

Corneal Stem Cells
