The field of stem cell research has boomed over the past twelve months, bringing to light new ideas for treatments and applications. Here at BioInformant, we strive to do our best to provide you with the most up to date information related to the industry. As a supplement to our monthly round-ups, we thought it would be important to share the top ten most shared stem cell articles from the past year.
