Summary:
Harvard-affiliated researchers said they have begun efforts to create stem cells by cloning human embryos, joining the race among a small group of scientists in this controversial pursuit.
The work at Children's Hospital Boston, the main pediatric teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, is aimed at eventually creating stem cells for treating blood diseases like sickle-cell anemia, leukemia and other blood disorders.
Commentary: Hopefully this research will provide scientists with new strategies to apply customized stem cells to treat diseases.
