Chennai: Japanese stem cell scientist Yukio Nakamura has claimed that stem cell developed in laboratories could help in treating some types of blood cancer in the near future.

Nakamura, who is the head of Bio Resources Centre, Riken Institute, Japan told, “The technology, developed by Japanese scientists, does not involve usage of embryonic stem cells and therefore, is devoid of ethical conflicts.”

Nakamura was in Chennai recently to participate in an international stem cell meet, organised by the Nichi-In Centre for Regenerative Medicine (NCRM), a Indo-Japan joint venture institute.

Blood cancers such as aplastic anaemia (a deficiency of red blood cells) and thalassemia (an inherited form of anaemia caused by faulty synthesis of haemoglobin) can be treated by the stem cell technology.
