Stem Cells
Stem cells have the ability to produce specialized cells for a variety of body tissues in the body, including heart muscle, brain tissue, and liver tissue. Stem cell research could have a major impact on modern medicine because of the technology's ability to produce cells for almost all parts of the body. While stem cells could potentially provide medical advances, including curing diseases like cancer, embryonic stem cell research is controversial. Learn about the latest opinions and legislation concerning stem cells.
