Researchers at the University of Rutgers-New Brunswick have developed a nanotechnology platform that allows researchers to confirm the identity of human stem cell fates and their biomarkers, without destroying these cells in the process. Their discovery could boost research on stem cell transplantation, which may help people with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, other neurodegenerative diseases, and central nervous system injuries.
