Dick Van Dyke, legendary Emmy-award winning actor, is speaking up in support of adult stem cell research. He will be a spokesperson for the Cell Therapy Foundation, and will focus on educating the public that adult stem cells are leading to new therapies for many diseases. Mr. Van Dyke said:

“I am truly impressed by the potential that adult stem cell research has already shown and am hopeful that by getting the message to more people, we can fund additional research that could positively impact thousands of lives around the world.”
