Abstract :
We report on spectroscopic studies of stem cells using terahertz time domain spectroscopy (TTDS). THz spectra of stem cells obtained with triple modulation techniques were averaged over the size of terahertz spot. The results show clear differences between different stem cell lines, whereas differentiated daughter clones preserve some of the parental signatures.
