Scientists seek simple remedies to cloning conundrums
Article Abstract:
The stem cell research works on reversing mature cells into an embryonic state, substituting human eggs with those from animals and aims at creating a limitless number of human eggs in the laboratory from existing embryonic stem (ES) cells. The ultimate goal is that ES cells cultivated from a patient's own cells could replace his or her missing or damaged tissues such as nerve cells, heart or muscle.
