Chorionic villi are rich of stem cells: Biocell Center, a biotech company managed by Giuseppe Simoni and based also in Medford, MA, is studying and testing these types of stem cells. Chorionic stem cells, like amniotic stem cells, are multipotent stem cells without any ethical problem and now it's possible to cryopreserve amniotic stem cell for autologous use.

Famous quotes containing the words stem and/or cell:
“Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil.”

From childhood on, had now so much
A grey gull lost its fear and flew
Down to her cell and there alit,
And there endured her fingers’ touch
And from her fingers ate its bit.”
