Summary:

Researchers led by stem cell pioneer James Thompson of the University of Wisconsin at Madison discovered a way to use human embryonic stem cells to create components of human blood - products, they say, that are safe and can eventually be used to help a range of patients, from those with anemia caused by chemotherapy to soldiers wounded in battle. Stem Cell Products, a new company in the field of stem cell research, will use the components of human blood to produce human treatments for wounds and other blood disorders. The company is hopeful it will be the first successful clinical trial for a commercial stem cell products.

Commentary: Hopefully this trial produce an effective, widespread stem cell treatment for wounds and blood disorders.
