A researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has developed a new method for culturing both embryonic and induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. The benefits of this appear to be that it doesn't use mouse proteins, currently part of the many existing approaches, that could contaminate the stem cells.
From my understanding, this is another great step forward in developing the processes required for the wide spread therapeutic use of stem cells. Here's a link to the U.W. news site.
