Durham-Based Journal Reports Stem Cell Breakthrough
A Durham-based company published a report Thursday on a scientific breakthrough toward developing scientifically valuable stem cells.
Posted — UpdatedThe work was published online Thursday by the journal Stem Cells, which is based in Durham.
"We are the first journal devoted to stem cells – devoted exclusively to stem cells," the journal's publisher, Ann Murphy, said.
Murphy said the experiment could lead to the creation of a "stem cell line," which could be used to study diseases, screen drugs and possibly for transplants.
"Our editors did realize from the beginning that this could be a very important article," Murphy said.
"The potential is really exciting, but again, it is potential," she said.
