Recent Advances in Stem cell Research

Embryonic stem cells turned into brain cells at northwestern.

Mice injected with colon cancer then with stem cells the stem cells reduced the tumors in the colon. (University of Connecticut stem cell institute)

Studying with zebra fish

Zebra fish stem cells can be used (in theory) to cure blindness.

Zebra fish DNA

Close to Human DNA

Using this to help start stem cell/ major diseases.
