Plant hormone is the Key to turning normal cells into wood, as well as the conversion of human stem cells that can be influenced by hormones to transform into specialized cells.
Some readers may wonder, how about culturing plant stem cells into wood? Can it really be used to make furniture?
3D-bioprinting is at the heart of this point.
