Stem Cells Make 'Human' Drug Trials in Animals Possible
10th Apr 2006, 16:05 GMT
By injecting human stem cells into laboratory mice and creating various human tissues, researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed a way to conduct "human" drug trials on animals. Conducting trials on the human cell tissue carried by the mice gives scientists an indication of whether to even proceed with human trials -- and what to expect when they are undertaken. read more
