Other approaches were discussed at a conference on fetal cell research last month in Brookline, Mass. Among them: the possibility of altering monkey fetal cells for use in humans. Ultimately, as researchers become able to identify the chemicals that give fetal cells their regenerative powers, they may find ways to synthesize these substances or to develop cell cultures that produce...
