Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) hold great promise for
benefiting degenerative diseases, and do so by invoking multiple
mechanisms. Such cells can be grown in a manner compatible with clinical
use (i.e., without animal feeder layers) and even without the need for
immunosuppression. These were a few of a number of conclusions arrived

and spearheaded by a member of his lab, Jean-Pyo Lee, Ph.D., of the

published in Nature Medicine, will be made available by advanced
publication at the journal’s website on March 11, 2007.
