Stem cells have shown the promise to revolutionise the treatment of many diseases, as noted by George Wolff in his book ?The Biotech Investor\'s Bible?: ?? The damaged brains of Alzheimer\'s disease patients may be restored. Severed spinal cords may be rejoined. Damaged organs may be rebuilt. Stem cells provide hope that this dream will become a reality.? Professor Anthony Hollander, the ARC Professor of Rheumatology & Tissue Engineering in the Department of Cellular & Molecular Medicine at the University of Bristol, UK, is in the vanguard of this groundbreaking research area. His group has perfected stem cell culture protocols that provide the consistent starting material essential for all areas of their bioengineering research. Furthermore, their knowledge and facilities were instrumental in the first ever bioengineered tracheal graft.
