New Culture Method May Give Stem Cell Therapy a Boost

Parkinson’s patients are only one of several groups to benefit from an important new discovery in the world of stem cell therapy. Scientists at the University of Glasgow in Scotland have uncovered a new method for culturing adult stem cells.

Created by an injection-moulding process similar to the method used to produce Blu-ray discs, this new plastic culture medium could yield a large enough batch of stem cells to kick-start the process of cellular regeneration.

Dr. Matthew Dalby, from the University of Glasgow, said, "Our technology could be the first step on the road to developing large-scale stem cell culture factories which would allow for the creation of a wide range of therapies for many common diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease."
