Re: [DIYbio] Re: Stem Cells out of wisdom teeth

Well, in a university with the correct equipment and training, it's not
a big deal if it's not *your* cells. Even then, the risks aren't that
large, but they do exist. Given your institutional affiliation, and a
bit of training, you could by all means work with *other* people's
cells pretty safely. Heck, for a year I was the "Guy that cracks human
ribs just cut out of people to extract the bone marrow". I was using a
pliers and some luer-lock needles to crack and flush cells from the
marrow with PBS or DMEM. Stuck myself with a needle once, too,
post-marrow. I'm not dead yet, but it was nevertheless messy, bloody
and somewhat hazardous work. Not something I'd recommend you do at
home! :)
