How stem cell research works (Insulin producing cell rather than brain cell)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

If you are interested in getting a good description of how research works, this

site has a good description of the step by step methods. It is about getting to

an insulin producing cell rather than a brain cell, but it shows how they must

work through step by step. The article is written so that an average person can

understand the complexity without knowing all the terminology.

While all of the talks are interesting the best description of the basic

research is " WHERE WILL WE GET ISLETS? " by
