Advantages of SB Cells®
In summary, SB Cells® contain distinguishable markers and the ability for self renewal. They can be expanded in vitro and differentiate into different kinds of body cells. They have all the advantages of Embryonic Stem Cells and none of their disadvantages:
- distinguishable markers (SB-1 and SB-2)
- easily cultured (SB-1 and SB-2)
- the ability to expand into SB-3
- superior plasticity
- easy to regulate differentiation
- no ethical issues
- easy access to obtain the cells
- no immune rejection
- no Teratoma formation
- no serum required for culturing purposes
- better candidate for clinical trial than Mesenchymal Stem Cells; SB Cells® have more plasticity than other Mesenchymal Stem Cells.
