As reported in
CoinDesk, this
stem cell research company is accepting Bitcoin.
I doubt they'll be selling any actual cell-based therapies any time soon, but for now they seem to be offering a few basic tools for researchers, such as PCR kits, protein extraction kits and even HEK cells. This may not mean much to most of you, but for us Bitcoin-loving molecular biologists and biochemists, this is pretty awesome news!
If anyone has ordered something from this company already, please let us know whether their products actually work! I'm thinking of ordering a bit of Taq polymerase for my lab out of my own Bitcoin pocket, just because I can't think of anything cooler than doing a Bitcoin-funded PCR
