Two new papers look at the abilities of these remarkable cells. (...) For proponents, these cells represent our greatest hope for treating devastating disorders such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes and spinal-cord injuries. But for those who are adamantly opposed to the use of cells derived from human embryos, stem cells from adults have been advocated as an ethically palatable and experimentally reasonable alternative.
