Stem Cell Research at Aga Khan University, KarachiBy Hilda Saeed for Newsline: Stem cells are unique, remarkable in their ability to replicate indefinitely, adept at adopting the cellular characteristics of the body’s various organs, be it the brain, liver, kidneys, etc., as and when needed. It was only a matter of time before scientists and researchers discovered the secrets of stem cells and their infinite potential. Since then, they’ve been using the knowledge to cure people of numerous diseases, including assorted cancers. And this is not just happening in the ‘civilised’ First World. Karachi’s Aga Khan University (AKU) Hospital now has a dedicated transplant unit, where international standards are maintained round the clock, and where stem cell research and therapy is underway.
