      That’s pretty incredible, with no noticeable degradation between replications? I know very little about stem cell cultures.

        There’d have to be some degradation over time. Unless they’re repairing the DNA using computerized backups or something.

          The stem cells themselves are self-repairing and self replicating. Quoting Wikipedia:

          Due to the self-renewal capacity of stem cells, a stem cell line can be cultured in vitro indefinitely.

          Currently all embryonic stem cell research and therapies in the US are conducted using only 486 cultures.
