Growth factors that are required for the growth and differentiation of stem cells or for the development of tissue-engineered matrix are expensive and need to be injected periodically. To avoid this, stem cells are being genetically modified so that they produce the growth factors on their own and would not require injection of additional growth factors. This type of tissue-engineered matrix can be mass produced and adopted for commercial use.
