MADISON, Wisconsin, Nov. 15 -- The University of Wisconsin Madison campus issued the following news:
On Nov. 6, 1998, developmental biologist James Thomson of the University of Wisconsin-Madison published a paper describing how his team had grown human embryonic stem cells. These cells exist at the earliest stages of development and are "pluripotent" -- able to differentiate into every one of the more than 200 specialized cell types in the human body.
