40. The default growth path of stem cells is to form cardiac tissue

Sat Jul 20, 2013, 06:33 PM

If you take stem cells and culture them without causing any specificity, they will form a clump of red cardiac tissue. In a about a week, the clump spontaneously begins to beat.

I guess we cannot kill that lump after six weeks (it probably will die before that due to nutrition issues).
