News: Welcome to the cell culture forum set up in association with 'Human Embryonic Stem Cells: The Practical Handbook'. This resource has been set up to allow users of our book to communicate with each other using themed discussion boards. It is our hope that this will stimulate debate and facilitate the exchange of ideas and practical tips within the human ES cell research community.

It illustrates the need for educating the public about stem cell research and the importance of supporting high quality accurately controlled research. The desparate position of patients should not be taken advantage of by certain self serving or genuinely misguided individuals.

It is important that we convey the difference between uncontroled and controlled research to the greater public. It seems obvious to experts in the field which sources are trustworthy and which aren't, unfortunately both can post a web site and attract attention. We had better do more collectively to tackle this growing problem through education or we shall all suffer.
