| Abstract: |
Biological science is being bombarded with problems of HIV,
cancers, thousands of genetic disorders, obesity, diabetes, microbial
infections, biological warfare, SARS and degenerative organ diseases of the
lung, liver, kidney and heart. A big question today is the promise of stem
cells. Will stem cells one day be good enough to save the sinking Noah’s Ark of human health?
This review attempts to give an overview of stem cells and the scientific
factors revolving around it.
