      Hi there!
      The particular type of stem cell that I work with is very easy to control. I work with a type of endothelial progenitor cell which matures to form endothelial cells, which line the inside of our blood vessels. This type of stem cell doesn’t become any other type of cell and this is a good thing because we want to use these cells to repair damaged blood vessels. Hope this helps to answer your question. 🙂
