Summary:
Embryonic stem cell therapy is now safe and effective enough to test in human clinical trials, according to a major new study by scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research. But "adult" stem cells, taken from non-embryonic sources, were found to be just as effective. This research gives direct evidence that embryonic stem cell therapy is feasible. It also indicates that -- in this instance at least -- embryonic and adult stem cells may be interchangeable.
