Stem Cell Research

In November of 2007, researchers and scientists from around the world found a way to transform skin cells in to a type of stem cell. Stem cells are the "master cells" and have the ability to control any cell in the human body. In most cases, stem cells can be used to cure many diseases. I believe this is a turning point for all scientists. They can use these discoveries to find cures for different diseases such as, measles, malaria, and Parkinson's disease.
