What Challenges Exist in Controlled Differentiation?
Despite its potential, controlled differentiation faces several challenges:
Heterogeneity: Differentiated cell populations can be heterogeneous, making it difficult to achieve uniformity. Scalability: Producing large quantities of differentiated cells while maintaining quality is challenging. Ethical Issues: The use of stem cells, especially embryonic stem cells, raises ethical concerns. Technical Limitations: Current technologies may not fully replicate the complex environment of living tissues.
