Summary:
A major breakthrough in stem cell research – a new tool that could allow scientists to harvest stem cells ethically - was announced recently at the Institute of Physics’ conference Physics 2005. Professors from the University of Leipzig have developed a procedure that can extract and isolate embryo-quality stem cells from adult blood for the first time. This new technique could unlock the stem cell revolution and stimulate a boom in medical research using stem cells.
