New developments in stem cell research

Anyone who is interested in stem cell research will want to find out more about new work from the United States on stem cells from the testes which has concluded that they can change into other body tissues. The science of stem cell research is fiendishly complicated for non-scientists, but the work has shown that these stem cells from the testes are similar to embryonic stem cells although they are not exactly the same. Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine say they could be used in the future to treat infertility. The full details of the work can be found on the school's website at http://med.stanford.edu
