Center Launches New International Stem Cell Research Institute

areas such as neurology and neurosurgery, cardiology and connective tissues. Adult stem cells are rare, however, and are difficult to grow and study in the lab. They are used primarily to treat blood and skin diseases, or injuries such as tissue burns.

In contrast, embryonic stem cells can proliferate indefinitely into all types of cells and are easy to grow and study.

By conducting stem cell research, scientists hope to find new treatments for Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries and other diseases.

“Embryonic stem cells hold the promise to change the face of medical research,” said Benvenisty. “They will potentially serve as a source of cells in transplantation medicine, enlighten us on human development, and help us understand the pathology of many human genetic disorders.”

“In the not-too-distant future, we will look back and recognize this day as the dawn of Cedars-Sinai’s ability to make major worldwide contributions to an exciting new era of scientific discovery involving stem cells in research, therapy and healing,” said Thomas M. Priselac, president and CEO of Cedars-Sinai.
