Abstract

Recent advances in stem cell biology have aroused wide and intense attention by investi gators as well as the general public because of the stem cells’ broad applications in basic biomedical research and transplantation therapies. Stem cells could be used in tissue transplantation therapies for clinical targets, including neurodegenerative diseases, spinal cord injuries, and strokes, among others. To realize the full potential of human multipotent stem cells, however, further research lies ahead of us.
