Why do embryonic stem cells hold such promise?
• They can develop into any cell type in the body. • They can form unlimited quantities of any cell type in the body. • They will help us understand inherited diseases by allowing us to study human cells bearing the exact genetic defects that cause disease in patients. • They will allow us to discover safer and more effective drugs by making it easier to screen drug candidates.
