Professor Pillinger's adventures in stem cell science. (360G-Wellcome-090504_Z_09_A)
Three quintessentially British eccentrics set off on a journey into the brave new world of stem cells. Hailed as the 21st century's "magic bullet"; stem cell research promised much, but has delivered little in the way of routine medical treatments. Professon Colin Pillinger, Britain's leading spaceman, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2005, and asks, 'can stem cells could provide a cure in my lifetime?' Or is progress is being delayed by 'NIMBY's', political obfuscation, or reluctant experimenters? With him go the Donald Bros; founding editors of irreverent magazine, Viz, providing their unique take on science using humorous cartoons.
