A few dozen cell lines should provide tailored treatments for millions of people.
Just 150 different strains of stem cell would be enough to create a source of donor cells for a significant proportion of the UK population, say British researchers. Their calculation, made by studying how kidney donors match transplant recipients, shows that this relatively modest number of different strains could cater for some 40% of people.
