Adult stem cells also have a unique trait that lends them their magic: Under the right conditions, or given the proper signals, they have the ability to turn into different cell types. Arinzeh is doing exactly that: developing signals, in the form of biomaterials, that will help adult stem ...Mayo Clinic Researchers Create 'Obedient Virus'; First Step To Use Measles Virus Against Cancer
