Summary:
Australian researchers have found a way of allowing stem cells to differentiate into mature cells while preventing cancer tumors from forming when the cells are implanted by placing them in a capsule made from seaweed, which has been the fear of some doctors in using stem cells to treat disease.
Commentary: This finding could have implications for improving the safety of human stem cell transplants.
