be overcome. Only significant human advances throughout the world have been made on adult stem cells.
For example, In the US, a paraplegic woman with a severed spinal cord has been treated with her own immune cells and regained bladder control and movement of her toes. Scientists have turned human pancreatic ductal cells into cells that produce insulin, providing hope for diabetics. Severe heart damage and Parkinson's disease benefits appear promising with adult stem cells.
