 Does Fetal Calf Serum have stem cells?? Hi! I am using fetal calf serum for my research project to grow tissues from mouse. I saw more growth of the cells than expected when i increased the conc of FCS in the medium. So i wish to know if FCS has stem cells of any kind since it is extracted from 3month old unborn fetuses ?? Please do reply asap  |
