A new discovery by Australian scientists has reveal that seaweed can be used to overcome a major medical risk that can arise when embryonic stem cells are implanted in humans. Researchers at the University of New South Wales have devised a technique that prevents the cells from forming tumors when they are injected into the body by encasing each cell in a tiny capsule made from a seaweed extract, called alginate, before transplantation.
