There are excellent results from adult stem cell research, as opposed to embryonic stem cells.    Some of these results are as follows:    Ã Small dime-sized human livers made of umbilical cord blood. Perhaps in 15 years, the technique could even be employed to manufacture whole human livers.    Ã Adult stem cells offer hope for diabetes treatment.    Ã Adult stem cells used to treat emergency heart attack patients; this new technique is scheduled to begin trials in January at two London hospitals.    Betty Alm    Grangeville     Go to top.
