Wow.
No comments? Amazing.
No therapies have resulted from iPS cells yet, but it looks like US is still a haven for medical research. :)
iPS cells have shown great promise with type I diabetes and Parkensons'....thats not impressive enough for you?
clearly you can't see the forest for the trees.........
Take it easy, kid, I'm on your side. :)
ok...sorry - my bad!
actually have a friend whos son is in a clinical trial for his juvenile diabetes and has shown amazing results....
tissue graphs or growing in situ? Any rejection issues?
This would be far more ethical than destroying human embryos.
Ethical and moral challenges force you to think more and come up with what is usually better but less obvious solutions. Modifying the patient's skin cells will eliminate reject problems once we get to treatments.
One can only hope and pray that the skin cells will be able to be used in cases of diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimers, etc.
