Medicine: Politic stem cells
Irving L. Weissman1
Abstract
Research on embryonic stem cells holds huge promise for understanding and treating disease. Many people oppose such research on religious and ethical grounds, but two new methods may bypass some of these objections.
In this issue are two new methods1, 2 for producing pluripotent stem-cell lines — the great future hope of regenerative medicine*. Both papers report proof-of-principle tests in mice of techniques that might be used for making human pluripotent stem-cell lines.
