Given the rate of growth of an embryo, that cells pulled out and injected in a mature tissue mass could cause cancer should not be that much of a surprise, or so one would think.
Looks like most advances are with adult stem cells anyway.
Actually if they use this study to find a way to block the ill-effects of that protein, it would encourage embryonic stem-cell usage exponentially. Not sure if it is good news, or bad, in the main article.
“Looks like most advances are with adult stem cells anyway.”
Make that all advances are with adult stem cells.
All this study has done is prove why embryonic stem cells don’t work!
