ddPCR advances stem cell research for organ transplantation

Regenerative medicine is transforming healthcare by using stem cells to grow tissues and organs for transplantation. Here, Dr. Fabian Suchy of Stanford University explains how his team is working to grow human organs from stem cells, the challenges of genomic precision, and why droplet digital PCR is a critical tool for ensuring quality and fidelity in these groundbreaking processes.
