The possibility that human stem cells can be used to repair and regenerate our bodies has captivated scientists and the public alike. The Harvard Stem Cell Institute was formed to capitalize on this new science with the aim of finding new treatments for degenerative diseases. Progress in making stem cells from skin, finding potential drug candidates for ALS and spinal muscular atrophy, new approaches to aging, and advances in diabetes research are a few examples of the progress that are discussed.
