To treat a patient, researchers would look for a cell line that provides a close match to a patients immune system, Hwang said in an interview with The Associated Press. It would resemble the process now used in finding donors for organ transplants. 　　We hope to open a world stem cell bank, as early as this year, in Korea, Hwang said. We will start with what we have, offering them to those patients who sincerely want them for the right reasons. 　　Hwang said he was willing to eventually put the bank under the management of an international agency. 　　But, it would mean that South Korea is taking the initiative in fighting human disease, he said. 　　Hwang and his researchers at Seoul National University created the first embryonic stem cells that genetically match injured or sick patients, work that was published in the journal Science last month. That came just a year after his team shocked the world by cloning a human embryo. 　　The match means the stem cells, the building blocks of all bodily tissues, are unlikely to be rejected by the bodys immune system. Researchers hope the cells can be used to repair damage caused by ailments such as spinal cord injuries, diabetes or a genetic immune disease. 　　Hwang now wants to move his research into making embryonic stem cells grow into specific organs and tissues. 　　The publication of Hwangs work has made him one of South Koreas busiest and the most celebrated figures, his image gracing newspaper articles and television shows almost daily. His team is notorious for working long hours without weekends or holidays and even sleeping in the lab, but late Wednesday afternoon he found time t
