The restrictions placed on embryonic stem cell research in the US may soon prove to be less frustrating to the many scientists who believe stem cell therapies could lead to radical new treatments for a vast array of diseases. In mouse experiments, researchers have discovered a safe and effective way to convert ordinary cells into embryonic stem cells that could theoretically be used to create healthy, tailor-made tissues for individuals. Experiments in humans are under way.
