Stem Cell Research

Introduction

Stem cells are the basic building blocks of life. They have the most amazing abilities and qualities, with the potential to become different types of cell in our bodies. That's why they offer us the greatest potential to treat degenerative conditions that affect us all – diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, arthritis, blindness, stroke and heart disease.

As there are many useful and inspiring websites that explain more about the science of stem cells, advances in worldwide research, the legislative landscape and ethical context, we have not sought to duplicate them here. Many of these websites can be found in our links. Alternatively, please contact us directly for more information or direction to additional sources of information.
