Pig Stem Cell Research Provides Break-Through In Safety

This article pertains to stem cell research and the recent discovery found using the stem cells of pigs. Due to the pig stem cells pluripotentcy and being more like human stem cells, they are able to run more accurate tests using those than rodent stem cells. They also lessen the risk of tumors while testing. This would also hopefully increase the accuracy and lower the rate of risk when testing such things on humans when the time comes.
