According to Sieber-Blum, subsets of the epidermal neural crest stem cells express markers for the nerve-supporting cells that are essential for proper neuron function. They also may be useful to treat Parkin...

Thomson lends perspective to stem cell expectations

...esearch lies in the possibility of stem cell based transplantation therapy, but several obstacles remain. Perhaps the most daunting is preventing the process that originally kills cells, which he said could take years if not decades. "I don't want to sound pessimistic," Thomson said. "This is all doable. It's just ...
