The article "Advancements in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research: Clinical Applications and Ethical Issues" by Soo Jin Park et al. reviews the progress and challenges in the use of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in regenerative medicine. hESCs, derived from early human embryos, have shown significant potential in treating various diseases due to their pluripotency and self-renewal capabilities. The review highlights clinical trials and studies in ophthalmology, neurology, endocrinology, and reproductive medicine, demonstrating the versatility of hESCs in regenerative therapies. However, the field faces ethical and regulatory challenges, with varying policies and perspectives across different countries. The authors emphasize the need for a balanced approach that considers both the scientific potential and ethical implications of hESC research to ensure responsible and effective clinical applications. The article also discusses the ethical considerations surrounding the derivation of hESCs from embryos, the complex regulatory landscape, and the importance of adhering to ethical standards and regulatory requirements. Despite the challenges, the authors conclude that hESC research holds immense promise for advancing medical science and improving patient care.The article "Advancements in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research: Clinical Applications and Ethical Issues" by Soo Jin Park et al. reviews the progress and challenges in the use of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in regenerative medicine. hESCs, derived from early human embryos, have shown significant potential in treating various diseases due to their pluripotency and self-renewal capabilities.
