Stem Cells In Adult Testes Provide Alternative To Embryonic Stem Cells For Organ Regeneration
Easily accessed and plentiful, adult stem cells found in a male patient’s testicles might someday be used to create a wide range of tissue types to help him fight disease — getting around the need for more controversial embryonic stem cells. That’s the promise of a breakthrough study in mice led by a team from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, who report their findings in the September 20 issue of Nature.
