DESCRIPTION:
This research has uncovered the potential these stem cells have for treating disease and improving human life. However, the research field faces economic, religious, ethical and moral dilemmas, and limitations from government policies in developing, emerging and developed nations. The literature review shows that the R&D pipeline starts with a very large number of patents and publications for both adult and embryonic stem cells, indicative of substantial discovery research being conducted in the field. Stem cells are those groups of cells which can generate specialized cells and organs that perform specific functions. Data on preclinical analyses are not available, however, we do know that the first discoveries are generally followed by a dramatically reduced number of clinical trials, then even fewer products and applications for stem cells. My research shows that human embryonic stem cells research in particular is affected more than human adult stem cells research as well as other types of biotechnology research by the strict regulatory environment and religious beliefs that prevent the re
