Aug. 8, 2005 — Stemlife Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian company, announced plans to fund the research of the National University of Singapore Nanoscience & Nanotechnology (NUSNNI) Initiatives with at least $80,000 to explore the uses of nanofiber technology for stem cell expansion and related applications.
The funding will enable scientists at NUSNNI to develop specific nanofibers for the expansion of stem cells. The preparation of nanofibers is a more cost-effective method and provides an alternative means for cord blood stem cell expansion.
