Summary:
Stem cell research holds promise for improving the quality of human life -- especially embryonic stem cells, which can potentially develop into any tissue in the human body. Basic scientific problems still remain unresolved -- but Tel Aviv University researchers are leading the way to inventive solutions. The implications of this research can provide the basis for a new kind of research tool, one that biologists around the world could use to define and grow the specific kinds of neural stem cells they require.
