...stem cells based on their electric charge properties. The technique used by the scientists, called dielectrophoresis, is based on the premise that different types of cells have different electric properties. Stem cells that are destined to become neurons, for example, have a different electric charge than stem cells that will become...

...stem cells to nerve cells, and implanted them into mice. The transplantation and accommodation of these cells was successful, and the scientists did not get into the common problems associated with transplanted cells, such as resulting formation of tumors. Prior to this research, creating pure neuronal cells from ES cells had been problematic...
