Summary:
The Canadian Press reports researchers have made new discoveries into embryonic stem cell development that could have implications for cancer detection and treatment:
"A team of Canadian scientists has made a discovery about how human embryonic stem cells develop that could change the direction of research into what has been dubbed the Holy Grail of regenerative medicine. In a paper published online Wednesday in the journal Nature, researchers at McMaster University say they have discovered that stem cells have a far more complex relationship with the cells around them — and that knowledge could open up entirely new avenues of research."
