Stem cell research
by SimplyStar, Oct 17, 2007 02:34PM
Bradley University is doing some ground breaking stem cell research that could one day wipe out ovarian cancer.
It started with the discovery that stem cells migrate towards cancer cells.
Now the goal is to use those stem cells to kill off the cancer cells.
“We want them to take them out and destroy the cancer cells, so we want to modify the stem cells to express an agent that will essentially kill the cancer cells,” said Dr. Craig Cady, a biology professor at Bradley University.
Dr. Cady does stem cell research on bone marrow cells and human umbilical cord blood.
His current research does not include embryonic stem cells.
the future does begin to look more promising for us
