Zusammenfassung:Since 1998, when James Thomson and John Gearhart reported the first successful derivation of human embryonic germ cells, respectively, the scientific community has championed the therapeutic potential of these cells. However, since it quickly evolved into a competitive research area, its progress was checked by ethical missteps. Here, Kimmelman et al discuss the lessons from gene transfer research in the stem cell trials.
