Press Seminar: The Stem Cell Grand Challenge
Some of the world's premier stem cell researchers from
both academia and industry discussed the latest advances
in stem cell research at Whitehead Institute's 2006
Press Seminar. They provided updates on therapeutic
cloning and nuclear transfer, regenerative medicine,
adult stem cells—including the controversy over
plasticity—and approaches to treating neurodegenerative
disease.
