came from embryonic stem cell research.

comes to understanding human
stem cells, cautions Peter Andrews, professor of biomedical science and co-director of the Centre for Stem Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield, U.K. «In the human, every embryonic stem cell that we're working with that comes from a different person is genetically different,» says Andr
