How could we all benefit from the promise of stem cells – today?
Occasionally, stem cell breakthroughs in medical research are widely discussed by the media. By now it has become clear that there are three major stem cell approaches available now as we wait for wider acceptance and availability of groundbreaking works. While the media and even research groups or individual physicians occasionally question the viability or credibility of novel approaches, this is to be expected as most of the stem cell related work is pioneering and not yet established by mainstream medicine. What has been found, however, is that adult stem cells treat over 70 diseases while there has been no successful, reliable treatment protocol based on embryonic stem cells.
