Overview: Californians are hoping that stem cell research will do for them what the invention of the car did for Michigan. At the most basic level, stem cells are primitive cells that are undifferentiated and aren't programmed to become a certain type, such as a blood or brain cell. In theory, scientists will coax stem cells into adapting to whatever they need to replace damaged or diseased cells in humans. Today, if a researcher wants to test a new drug on, say, a cancer cell, he or she must obtain one from a patient or buy a cancer line. But using stem cells, researchers can explore their own disease-related genes quicker and cheaper.
