Inside The Centre For Commercialization Of Regenerative Medicine As AI Helps Patrol Stem Cell Factory

Pedestrians are reflected in the front doors to the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Monday, Dec. 4, 2017. A half-century ago, Canadian scientists discovered transplantable stem cells, which can grow into any kind of human tissue. Now, a government-backed research facility in Toronto wants to create a partially automated factory that would mass-produce these human building blocks into disease-fighting cells -- a process that is currently slow and labor-intensive. Toronto's Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine aims to lead the effort. Photographer: Cole Burston/Bloomberg via Getty Images
