Summary:
Scientists have demonstrated that human embryonic stem cells can be grown into mature disease-fighting T-cells. The study is raising hopes to combat AIDS and other diseases. Researchers at UCLA took primitive, embryonic stem cells and grew them into mature T-cells. Scientists say this may one day help those with compromised immune systems, like AIDS patients, to grow their own T-cells to fight their disease.
Commentary: Hopefully this finding can be translated into effective treatments for immune system diseases.
