ancer and enhance transplantation. Other studies have shown that Parkinson's disease can be successfully corrected by injecting the embryonic stem cells into the brains of rats. More evidence is becoming available showing stem cells can help correct tissue in a damaged heart. Spinal cord repair has been successful in mice that have been injected with embryonic stem cells.
Most of the spectacular discoveries about stem cells have come from the research done on adult stem cells. Adult stem cells are being found everywhere scientists look in the adult body. Stem cells found in human fat have shown potential for growing into muscle, bone, and cartilage. They have the capacity to become a variety of cells, but not as many as the embryonic stem cells. A number of researches say that adult cells are fairly set in their ways and don't seem to grow or replicate themselves as quickly as the embryonic cells. But recent research has shown that adult stem cells can be isolated and developed.
Even though stem cell research is showing promise f
