Abstract:
Obtaining an abundant supply of human cells with specific differentiated properties is a key issue in many research studies and biotechnology applications. Recent advances in this area include the finding that forced expression of the enzyme telomerase can greatly increase the proliferative potential of at least some types of human cells, and also the development of methods for culturing human stem cells.
