Such has been the case for a South Korean scientist named Hwang who claimed enormous breakthroughs in stem cell research. The reality, however, is that his claims …
There is no doubt that stem cell therapy holds enormous potential. Unfortunately, this potential also brings with it side-effects, some particularly severe. Such was the case during a therapy that used human foetal stem cells. The boy in the case suffered from a rare genetic disease known as Ataxia Telangiectasia. …
We already know that stem cells have enormous potential for treating some of the world’s most devastating diseases but fine-tuning these therapies, overcoming challenges and completing many more clinical trials to ensure their efficacy must still be done before these treatments can become a reality.
