  • Me being comfortable with the state of research and the fact that having more cell lines would’ve likely done nothing for our current understanding are two different things. The frank truth is, we’re far from even understanding how epigenetics factor in differentiation between induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic ones and which one is better for getting the results you want. The expense of the medium to grow the cells and the fact that it takes a month to see results of what you’re doing, the economics, is far more impactful on why we haven’t seen progress than the availability of cell lines.






  • It’s common in America when you want a quick rise or to increase moisture in the end product. Conversely, some recipes encourage proofing the dough in the fridge. This reduces yeast activity while retaining amylase activity, resulting in more sugar (maltose usually in this case) in the bread. In general, the best practice is to use the starches in the bread as the sugar for the yeast to develop complex flavor.

    In the end bread is not an exact science and there’s lots of variables to play around with to get what you want. It’s just at 10 percent sugar you’ve certainly gone beyond that.
