• New study highlights need for careful evaluation of stem cell gene regulation

  11 May 2012

  A large international team of scientists, including CSIRO’s Dr Andrew Laslett, has shown that the way specific genes are regulated in human stem cells is affected by how the cells are grown in the laboratory. The findings have important implications for the use of stem cells to model disease-in-a-dish for certain conditions.
