Evaluating stem cell therapy
  1. Although embryonic stem cells are totipotent, adult stem cells have the advantage that they could be obtained from a person with diabetes to treat his or her own disorder without the problem of genetic incompatibility
    1. The therapy, known as autologus haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, has been shown to have benefits to people with a range of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohns diesease
      1. Although stem cells have the potential to treat a wide range of human disorders, there is still a long way to go before they can widely used to treat patients.
