,
September 2021 in “Stem Cell Reviews and Reports” This study suggests that StemMACS MSC Expansion Media is more suitable than PowerStem MSC1 media for expanding therapeutic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, with less expression of negative markers and better chromosomal stability.
10 citations
,
April 2018 in “Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences” This article argues that the mind-body problem is a false issue, proposing that the mind merely temporally associates immaterial data with material support without actual interaction.
