Summary:
Agence France Presse (AFP) reports scientist have discovered a mouse embryonic stem cell that is similar to human embryonic stem cell:
"The discovery of a mouse embryonic stem cell startlingly similar to its human counterpart will likely speed progress toward the regeneration of healthy cells and organ tissue in people, two studies reported. The newly-found "epiblast" stem cells, taken from the inner-most layer of week-old rodent embryos, will provide a better model in testing potential therapies for human diseases and injuries, the researchers said."
