A debate over a hypothesis that cancers are fed by cancerous stem cells could affect the path of research.
111301
Scientists prove stem cells are not necessary for cloning and find other cells may even be better candidates.
351113
Scientists develop a method of routinely growing stem cells in conditions similar to the human body.
