Therapy between hopes and fears
August 2, 2007
The “Deutsche Apotheker Zeitung” has published an article concerning stem cell therapies. In this article, the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells is stated by saying that working with adult stem cells is ethically inoffensive and they cause nearly no side-effects. A lot of different diseases can be healed with adult stem cells and the important advantage is that the normal physiological processes that were destroyed by a disease like stroke might get reconstructed.
All in all, this article states that therapies with adult stem cells are very promising and that they really offer new chances for patients.
