New Discovery Marks a Step Forward in Stem Cell Research

A team of scientists from Harvard Medical School, Children’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the University of Washington, have produced a library of stem cells based on ordinary skin and bone marrow cells from patients. They say they plan to share the discovery with other stem cell researchers. A new laboratory has been created to serve as a repository for the stem cells, and to distribute them to other scientists researching the diseases.
