Stem cell research: We in primary care do not know a whole lot about this advanced and highly specialized topic. But from a quick google search i found leading research by a british team at http://www.Guardian.Co.Uk/science/2007/apr/02/stemcells.Genetics this page links to more history about this area, and you can further google search on the investigators' names.
