Related: How far are skin stem cells from benefiting humanity

scientists have recently transformed human skin cells into stem cells that are almost comparable to embryonic stem cellsThis achievement avoids the ethical controversy caused by human embryonic stem cell research, and makes a "new way" in stem cell researchSo, when will this research, which many media call a "milestone breakthrough", benefit mankind?" I still can't tell you an agenda," James Thomson, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who was involved in the study, told the media,
said Junying Yan, a Chinese scientist, and thatthe technology is still in its infancy,it is "premature" to discuss using these stem cells to grow human organs and transplant themAlthough the answer is disappointing, itbut it is in line with the laws of scienceBecause from the scientific law,a successful new drug or new medical technology from the beginning of basic research, often long-lasting, and its results into clinical application seamount sourcing and repeated demonstration Everything takes time But people can indeed be more optimistic than ever before Stem cell research is a promising way for human beings to overcome many medical problems, which has become a consensus in the medical community The results of the study eschew the ethical controversies that have aforeeced in the past in extracting stem cells from human embryos, and solve the big problem of stem cell sources, which, in many ways, will greatly promote stem cell research in all areas Although the breakthrough is still "only the first step," the scientists said, it will first provide hope for the cultivation of transplanted human tissue to treat disease , and second, it will help at the source to explore the mechanisms of of some diseases, and ultimately lay the foundation for rapid drug development " We still have a lot of work to do," said scientist James Thomson "
