Pluripotent Stem Cells

Everything you ever wanted to know but were too afraid to ask, including "What is stem cell research, and why is it so controversial?"

The following is a list of diseases, illnesses and conditions where stem cell innovation could show (or has shown) promise:

• Stroke

• Traumatic Brain Injury

• Spinal Cord Injuries

• Cancer

• Blindness, Deafness

• Alzheimer's disease

• Parkinson's disease

• Diabetes

• Crohn's Disease

• Bone Marrow Transplantation

• Muscular Dystrophy

• Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis

To get a good basic understanding, watch the video below to learn about the science behind embryonic stem cells, and learn why the subject is both highly innovation and even more controversial in the United States.

Now that you've got some understanding about the science, watch the video below to learn more about the innovation being used in Europe and the United Kingdom.
