FRÆÐIGREINAR
STOFNFRUMUR
sóknir benda til að fínstjómun á hegðun frumna
sé háð nánu samspili við umhverfið. Allt eru þetta
krefjandi og viðamiklir þættir sem allir eru sam-
tvinnaðir.
Jafnvel þótt ígræðsla taugastofnfrumna yrði
ekki raunin í nánustu framtíð mun þekkingin sem
þessar rannsóknir skapa geta fært okkur margt
annað. Rannsóknir á stofnfrumum geta til dæmis
aukið þekkingu á uppruna og meingerð sjúkdóma
og gætu einnig flýtt fyrir lyfjaþróun.
Aður en rannsóknir fara fram á mönnum þarf
að sýna með óyggjandi hætti að árangur hafi náðst
með dýratilraunum. Einnig verður að hafa í huga
að árangur dýratilrauna tryggir ekki árangur
þegar kemur að mönnum. Jafnvel þó að grunn-
rannsóknir sýni árangur verður það ávallt próf-
steinninn hvort meðferðarformið geti minnkað
einkenni eða aukið lífsgæði sjúklinga með þessa
erfiðu og langvinnu sjúkdóma.
