Stem cell-gene modification could provide cures to genetic diseases
Stem cell research is an emerging scientific research field with enormous potential. Pair that with gene therapy and you have an amazing combination. Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, have cure a cell of a devastating genetic disease using a genetically modified induced pluripotent stem cell. This news is a big step forward in the field of regenerative medicine, a field which has enormous potential to cure disease and prolong human life.
