UK researchers at King's College in London have made a major breakthrough in the generation of new human embryonic stem (hES) cells. The research has been made possible by some patients undergoing preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) at the Assisted Conception Unit, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, London. Remaining embryos, which may carry disease-causing genes, were used for the generation of the stem cell lines.
