First 'haploid' human stem cells could change the face of medical research

(The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) Scientists have isolated and replicated embryonic stem cells containing just one set of chromosomes in humans, with implications for diagnostics, regenerative medicine and cancer research. The innovative research, which has already led to the launching of a company that develops a diagnostic kit for predicting resistance to chemotherapy treatments, has earned doctoral student Ido Sagi a Kaye Innovation Award from the Hebrew University.
