The Difference Between Adult Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells
This is Ken Aldrich. I am Chairman of International Stem Cell Corporation and thought I’d talk for just a minute, or maybe a couple of minutes, about the different kinds of stem cells. People are always asking, “What’s the difference between an adult stem cell and an embryonic stem cell?” Let me try to make this as simple as possible. Adult stem cells are those that are derived from the human body any time after the first, probably, week or two of development of the fetus in the womb. So, cells that come from cord blood, or cells that come from embryonic tissue as well as cells that come from an adult hum...

" Think Small " -- The Discovery Files
Working with platinum nanowires 100 times thinner than a human hair, a team of U.S. and Japanese researchers demonstrated a technique that may one day allow doctors to monitor individual brain cells and perhaps provide new treatments for neurological diseases such as Parkinson's. The researchers used blood vessels as conduits to guide the wires, and explained that these nanowires could be threaded through the circulatory system to any point in the body without blocking the normal flow of blood.
