New Human Embryonic Stem Cell Line
The North West Embryonic Stem Cell Centre, based at the University of Manchester, has just achieved the successful generation of an early stage human embryonic stem cell line, the first from the IVF programme at Manchester Fertility Services. The Medical Director of MFS, Professor Brian Lieberman, said "Manchester Fertility Services has always been heavily involved in research which will improve outcomes for patients with infertility and, in this case disease, and we are delighted with this success". The Research Director at MFS and Co-Director of NWESCC, Professor Daniel Brison, said "couples undergoing treatment and the staff at MFS have supported our effort to make embryonic stem cell lines for the treatment of serious disease. This is a great tribute to their generosity and motivation and emphasises the important research being carried out here in Manchester".
