Mutated mitochondria could hold back stem–cell therapies
Nature.com The older a patient is, the more likely it is that induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from them will carry genetic mutations that could affect the cells' function, researchers report in Cell Stem Cell. These mutations are found in the DNA of … Unchecked mitochondrial DNA mutations could be a problem for stem cell therapies Hidden genetic mutations in stem cells could undermine therapeutic benefit |
