Many no longer see cell therapy as the first goal of the research, parting company with those whose near-term expectations for cell therapy remain high.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, these researchers envisage a longer-term program in which human embryonic cells would be a research tool to study the mechanisms of disease. From this, they say, many therapeutic benefits may emerge, like new drugs, which would probably be available at least as soon as any cell therapy treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Yes that&#8217;s the ticket. With ESCR causing problems and not cures it is time to switch to a new tactic.
