Potential of Embryonic Stems for Human Blindness
“According to a new study done at the Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan, scientists will soon make a human eye by creating embryonic eye stem cells, which will help in the treatment of human blindness.“ - The medical Journal Nature. Read More
Delivery of Good Genes’ in a Model of Inherited Blood Disorder Aided by Embryonic Stem Cells
“Our findings suggest that using reproductive cells to generate embryonic stem cells that are ‘disease-free’ may be a solution for genetic diseases involving large, complex or poorly identified deletions in the genome or that are not treatable by current gene therapy approaches.” – Dr. McLaughlin Read More

Embryonic Stem cells provide insights into Huntington’s Disease
Australian researchers are now studying Huntington’s disease in human embryonic stem cells (hESC). They report that signs of the disease can be seen in a laboratory petri dish containing undifferentiated cells which are just a few days old. The breakthrough teach the researchers how Huntington’s develops and how to treat it. Read More
