"In November 1998, publication of the research that human embryonic stem (ES) (I) cells and fetal stem cells [human embryonic germ (EG) cells] could be isolated and propagated in culture represented not only a potential new source for insulin-secreting cells, but also, the promise of an unlimited supply, if scientists could unlock the secrets to directing differentiation and proliferation"(Nierras and Stallard, 94).
November 1998, research that embryonic stem cells could make "insulin-secreting" cells and possibly an infinite amount (Nierras and Stallard, 94).
Juevenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) supports the use of embryonic stem cell research and wants funding from the government because it can lead to the cure of diabetes.
