Geneticists that work with stem cells say that the adult cells are less flexible, more difficult to isolate for replication, more difficult to amplify, and typically contain more DNA abnormalities. They in the end cost more to work with and are far less likely to result in favorable products. <BR/><BR/>By the way, thanks for signing my guest map!Sylvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186604429680496847noreply@blogger.com
