In addition, where cells derived from embryonic stem cells are great at proliferating — a potentially critical feature if one wants to grow sufficient numbers of cells for clinical use — ones from the iPS lines were much feebler.

«Before this study, it was not known if it is possible to produce sufficient numbers of these cells and successfully use them to remuscularize damaged hearts in a large animal whose heart size and physiology is similar to that of the human heart,» said Dr. Charles Murry, UW professor of pathology and bioengineering, who led the research team that conducted the experiment.

Once endothelial cells are removed from a heterogeneous population of cells, it is often difficult to obtain a sufficient number of cells for experimental analysis.

Folate deficiency can result in several different complications — the most important of these are neural tube defects (such as spina bifida, an abnormality of the spine and spinal cord) in babies and anemia (in which the number and function of red blood cells is affected leading to an inability of the blood to carry sufficient oxygen).
