A wake-up call on stem cells

Is stem cell treatment the holy grail of regenerative medicine or a over-hyped fakery? Stem cells have been called the body’s raw materials –  or the master builders generating all our tissues and organs and helping sustain them throughout our lives.

Sydney based clinical hematologist, pathologist and scientist Professor John Rasko and writer/historian Carla Power are the authors of  Flesh Made New: The Unnatural History and Broken Promise of Stem Cells. In it, they detail the history of stem cell research, the bad science, phoney treatments, as well as the real progress being made in this area of research.
