Stem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified. “If you are interested in working with blood stem cells in Sweden, this is the place to be.” So says Martin Hjort
