This Podcast gives is a good primer on Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs)…where they come from, how they are used and the promise they have for helping researchers cure human diseases.
The listener will gain insight how ECSs when manipulated into mature neuron cell lines can accelerate the pace of neurological research for scientists working on treatments for spinal cord injuries and neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS and possibly even depression
