Stem cells have the potential to grow into any type of cell
needed by the body. It's probably just a matter of time
until they are widely used in many capacities--I understand
South Korea has emerged as a world leader of sorts (U.S. government-
funded research is limited by law due to ethics questions).
I have only an undergraduate biology degree and am
definitely not an expert on the details. Here are some
general articles I found:
