The scientific and research community has a right to be excited and hopeful regarding the progress made with studying stem cells to date. Stem cell treatments and procedures are leading the way in finding cures for conditions caused by neural disorders, cardiac damage, diabetes, and many other afflictions. However, while many people are focused on the present, what will the future bring to stem cell research and potential therapy development?

The Stanford University School of Medicine has decided to play a trick on cancer cells. Instead of looking at fully developed cancer cells cultivated from a patient, researchers have successfully transformed normal and healthy skin cells into cancer stem cells. The reason behind the process is to make them easier to study without having to rely on a human host to provide them. Cancer stem cells are believed to be the ones that direct cancer growth. Understanding how these cells function has long eluded scientists.

Cerebral palsy is a neurological injury to the brain that affects movement, mobility, and normal body functions. Recently, a young toddler underwent an experimental treatment that used his own umbilical cord blood, saved in a private blood bank following his birth, to treat his cerebral palsy. Says the National Medical Director for United Cerebral Palsy, Dr. Dara Richardson-Heron, "We would love for research like this to put us out of business."

Millions of people around the world suffer from varying degrees of multiple sclerosis, a neural disorder that progressively limits movement and mobility in thousands of patients around the world. Now, researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have suggested that treatments for multiple sclerosis are on the horizon; treatments that may severely curtail the physical decline of patients suffering from this nerve condition.
