#Mitochondrial dysfunction  and aging produces similar defects in stem cells
#Stem cells do not age at the same rate; about one third od chronologically aged HSCs exhibit regeberative function similar to healthy young HSCs, coinciding with the health of mitochondria.
 
Research into stem cells grew out of findings by Canadian biologists&nbsp;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_McCulloch Ernest McCulloch],&nbsp;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Till James Till]&nbsp;and Andrew J.

Since 1998 however, it has been possible to culture and differentiate human embryonic stem cells (in&nbsp;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_lines stem-cell lines]). The process of isolating these cells has been&nbsp;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_controversy controversial], because it typically results in the destruction of the embryo. Sources for isolating ESCs have been&nbsp;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_laws restricted]&nbsp;in some European countries and Canada, but others such as the UK and China have promoted the research.<sup id="cite_ref-Pew_Intl_5-0">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell#cite_note-Pew_Intl-5 [5]]</sup>&nbsp;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_cell_nuclear_transfer Somatic cell nuclear transfer]&nbsp;is a&nbsp;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning cloning]&nbsp;method that can be used to create a cloned embryo for the use of its embryonic stem cells in stem cell therapy.<sup id="cite_ref-6">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell#cite_note-6 [6]]</sup>&nbsp;In 2006, a Japanese team led by&nbsp;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinya_Yamanaka Shinya Yamanaka]&nbsp;discovered a method to convert mature body cells back into stem cells.
