Douglas A. Melton, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, discusses current research on embryonic stem cells that could change the face of medicine. Significant progress has been made in producing stem cell lines that, for example, participate in the regeneration of damaged nervous tissue. Many human diseases, such as juvenile diabetes [Continue]
In a study of human tumors growing in mice, University of Minnesota researchers have found that immune cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) completely eliminated the tumors in 100 percent of mice tested. These new killer cells could help develop cures for leukemia, lymphoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer and testicular cancer. [Continue]
