MADISON, Wis. — The election results might be good news for local researchers, who are also celebrating the 10th anniversary of the isolation of stem cells.
On Nov. 6, 1998, the journal “Science” published a paper called “Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived From Human Blastocysts” by University of Wisconsin-Madison biologist Jamie Thomson.
Ten years after the groundbreaking research began, Thomson and stem cells are household names.
