BOSTON, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say they've created a set of new stem cell lines to explore 10 genetic disorders in cell and tissue types as they develop in lab cultures.
Led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator George Daley of Children's Hospital Boston, the researchers converted cells from individuals with such disorders as muscular dystrophy, juvenile diabetes and Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases into stem cells with the same genetic errors.
