An important potential application of human stem cells, through a more complete understanding of the genetic and molecular controls of cell division and differentiation, is the generation of cells and tissues that could be used for cell-based therapies. A two-part Series gives insight into the use of stem cells in the new discipline of regenerative medicine. In the first paper, the role of embryonic and adult-derived stem cells in cardiac repair is reviewed; the second paper discusses a novel approach for the replacement of complex tissues and whole organs involving the use of three-dimensional biological scaffolds made of allogeneic or xenogeneic extracellular matrix derived from non-autologous sources.

Papers published on The Lancet UK Policy Matters microsite raise concerns about the quality of past evaluations commissioned directly or indirectly by the Department of Health. Read the papers and accompanying blog post to find out more.
UK Policy Matters is a Lancet-based project which explores how UK policy changes affect health. On our microsite you will be able to access evidence-based summaries of different policies and tell us your experiences of how changes in policy have affected health.
If you have evidence of how policy has affected health or health care, we would like to hear from you. We are interested in all forms of evidence, including brief summaries of evidence from academics; and information from the public, managers, and healthcare workers about changes in services and their impact (individual experiences are welcomed).
See the Submit your evidence section of the site to share your experiences and submit your evidence.

A 79-year-old man presented with overt gastrointestinal bleeding. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy did not show the origin of the bleeding. Video capsule endoscopy showed several ileal submucosal tumours with a diameter of 1·0 cm to 1·5 cm. One of these lesions was the source of the bleeding. A CT scan with enteroclysis (fluoroscopic imaging of the small intestine) showed multiple nodular lesions in the distal ileum, clustered like a series of beads.
