    In practice, adult and embryonic stem cells behave rather similarly,

    And your qualifications to make that statement are?

    Your article demonstrates once again the complete ignorance most of the people have on the subject matter.

So try to do a little DD next time and write a balance article...

    Hesc are cells not drugs so the therapies are closer to transplantation and if effective will reach the market a lot faster
