Embryonic stem cell research is often misunderstood. That's why this ribbon is becoming so popular. It is the awareness ribbon specifically for EMBRYONIC stem cell research. This is the type of research that has the potential to find cures for juvenile diabetes, spinal cord damage, cancer and many other life threatening illnesses.

Embryonic stem cells are "blank" cells with the ability to grow into any other type of cell—such as insulin-producing islets. These islets could then be transplanted into someone with juvenile (type 1) diabetes and potentially cure the disease. As mentioned above, stem cells might also help to cure spinal cord injuries, cancer, and other life threatening illnesses.

The white polka dots represent the "blank" cells. The green represents healthy life.
