New scientific breakthrough using human embryonic stem cells
For the first time – and with the help of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis-originated embryonic stem cells – I-Stem scientists identified unknown cellular mechanisms specific to the Steinert disease. This work was published 31st of March, 2011 in Cell Stem Cell journal.
Patents related to human embryonic stem cell research are under threat in Europe due to the confusion made between embryonic stem cells and the blastocysts they originate from. It is absolutely necessary to take into account the scientific reality; and allowing Europe to exploit its own biomedical discoveries is of primary importance for the European public health care systems.
