No embryo required. So say the researchers at Harvard Medical School. They are claiming to have developed a method that will produced stem cells from adults that are “potent” as embryonic stem cells.
This method has a benifit over embryonic stem cells. These adult stem cells could be grown from a patients own tissue. This would allow them to be transplanted without triggering immune rejection.
This method also avoids the ethical issues many have with harvesting embryonic stem cells.
