How close are we, really, to curing diseases like cancer, diabe tes, and Alzheimer's? Unfortunately drugs and pharmaceutical products can do only so much. But what if we could replace tissues damaged by disease with a patient's own healthy cells? The answer lies in an issue whose political and ethical controversies have eclipsed its medical potential: stern cell research.In The Stem Cell Hope, veteran journalist. Alice Park offers a compelling history, from the personal near-tragedy that fueled thefounding of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, to the Japanese researcher who recently coaxed stem cells from human trials of a stem cell therapy. This landmark book illuminates a new medical frontier that might just yield lifesaving results.
