While it may take several years before researchers succeed in deriving gametes from human stem cells, the research holds much promise for basic science and clinical application.
If the research holds up, it suggests some potential benefits for forests.
Anopheles mosquitoes carry the parasite that causes malaria, so the research holds promise for the fight against it.
BOOK REVIEW Racing Toward Immortality Stem-cell research holds the promise of an endless supply of new body parts.
This research holds potential for people like me with spinal cord injuries, as well as people with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, diabetes and other neurological disabilities.
While everyone seems to agree that embryonic stem cell research holds promise for the distant future, applications using cord blood are producing results now.
The research holds such promise that officials at Montana State University ended it two years ago, fearing it could make the university a target of drug cartels.
Assuming the research holds up, it suggests that the 2009 paper, far from overestimating warming in West Antarctica, had probably underestimated it, especially in summer.
Genetic research holds out the possibility of breakthroughs that could vastly increase the productivity of farming, such as grains that fix their own nitrogen.
But while some of the research holds out promise for an effective workout pill, there remains the question of whether such a move is wise.
