Stem Cells in Research and Regenerative Medicine
Description
Stem cells are cells that can develop into many cell types, and they play a major role in modern biology. Researchers study how these cells work because they may help explain normal development and disease. They also study how stem cells could be used to treat human illness.
The field has grown t...
