Information and Resources for Stem Cells, Solving
While stem cell research is widely recognised and funded in the United Kingdom (UK), policies and efforts in other parts of the world vary a great deal. Stem cell policies specifically for UK research are covered in depth in the article titled Policies for Stem Cell Research. It’s interesting to …
There are various ways to obtain more information on stem cells and you may wish to keep abreast of the newest developments in the field. For those who are suffering from diseases that stem cells are currently treating such as leukaemia, your interest may be more immediate. You might currently …
Stem cells continue to be an important topic in science and they comprise one of the most exciting areas of research today. The enthusiasm for stem cell research relates to the vast potential of stem cells to treat an enormous range of diseases, particularly ones that have high morbidity and …
Stem cells have the potential to treat a vast number of debilitating diseases in Britain but conversely and surprisingly to many people, they also have the potential to trigger the growth of cancers. While we have known for some time that there is a link between stem cells and cancer …

Despite ageing being a natural and inevitable process for every human being there is still merit to maintaining health and keeping the body as ‘young’ as possible, both for preventing diseases that are associated with age as well as enjoying the aesthetic benefits of youth. Stem cells have been suggested …
One of the incredible aspects of stem cell research is the sheer breadth of conditions that can potentially be treated. Hearing loss is one such condition that may benefit from stem cells. Experimentation is currently underway to find out how stem cells can impact hearing. If research proves successful human …
Stem cells have an interesting history that has been somewhat tainted with debate and controversy. In the mid 1800s it was discovered that cells were basically the building blocks of life and that some cells had the ability to produce other cells. Attempts were made to fertilise mammalian eggs outside …
