  • Human embryonic stem cells
  • Human embryonic stem cell (gold) growing on a layer of supporting cells (fibroblasts).

The fibroblasts provide special factors that maintain the stem cells in their original state. The stem cell appears to be grasped by the underlying fibroblast. Stem cell research could lead to cures for many diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and diabetes, where a patient's cells are damaged or absent.
