Mazhar Nisar, a spokesman for the polio-monitoring cell at the Pakistani prime minister's secretariat in Islamabad, said the program wouldn't be suspended countrywide.
The officers monitoring images aren't allowed to bring cameras, cell phones or any recording device into the room, and the computers have been programmed so they have "zero storage capability" and images are "automatically deleted, " she added.
Continuous monitoring of the differentiation process of stem cells is of great importance for the development of cell-based regenerative medicine therapies and is extremely novel.
