Stem cell technology offers the opportunity to treat illnesses in which cells critical to our health have been destroyed. Stem cells can differentiate into these cells, replacing their function. However, there is much to be learned about stem cells before they will provide an effective approach to treatment. Recognizing the importance of this technology, Yale has formed the Stem Cell Center, which will focus on understanding how stem cells function, what causes them to multiply and how they can be induced to differentiate into different lineages.
