Stem cells: roadmap to the clinic

George Q Daley. J Clin Invest. 2010 Jan.

Abstract

Over the last decade, a remarkable number of papers have been published in which the biology of stem cells is introduced with words and phrases such as "promise," "rapid progress," and "future therapies." To separate myth and hype from reality, the articles in this Stem Cells Review series comprise a rich resource on the state of this fast-paced field and provide a balanced perspective on some of the major advances. They recount what the field has achieved over the past decade and where the field is headed. They also highlight the challenges to be faced in translating what is indeed highly promising science into proven therapies that will regenerate and repair diseased tissues.
