What advantages do embryonic stem cell have over adult stem cells in medical research?
Human embryonic and adult stem cells each have advantages and disadvantages regarding potential use for cell-based regenerative therapies. ... Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. Embryonic stem cells can be grown relatively easily in culture.
Where can I find information about stem cell therapy?
At CellTherapyNews.com they have free weekly newsletters that will keep you updated. The University of Utah has a webpage that offers a lot of information on stem cell therapies today. http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/tech/stemcells/sctoday/
What newer therapies are being investigated?
Instead of using synthetic chemicals that resemble substances produced by the body, cell-based therapies use modified stem cells or dendritic cells as vaccines against cancer.

What research is being done in stem cell therapy for leukemia?
There is very advance clinical research being done on stem cell thearpy currently. Van Andle Instintuie in Grand Rapids, MI is doing advanced research currently.
What diseases are stem cell technologies used to treat?
Stem cell technologies are being developed to treat many diseases such as Cancers and Parkinsons. They are currently used for bone marrow transplants.
Why is there such a controversy on stem cell therapy?
The controversy isn't over stem cell therapy, it is over embrionic stem cell therapy. Stem cell therapy usually refers to stem cells extracted from the patients own body. Embrionic stem cells are extracted from dead fetuses. Those opposed to embrionic stem cell therapies are worried that it will lead to 'fetus farms', where eggs are fertilized until a fetus is formed, then the fetus is killed to harvest the stem cells. It is an offshoot of the abortion controversy in which the pro-life side largely believes that life begins at conception (egg fertilization). The controversy around stem cell therapy lies in the research in embryonic stem cells. Some people believe that the start of the embryonic stage is when a human being begins and is therefore unethical to destroy this for the stem cells as it is supposedly akin to murder.
What are two organs that are difficult to repair using stem cell?
Currently only stem cells for diseases of the blood are available. Others are in testing mode.
