Stem Cells created without using embryos

In a major breakthrough, scientists announced Tuesday they have generated potent stem cells from human skin which could help in the fight against major diseases and sidestep the battle over using embryonic cells.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Re: Stem Cells created without using embryos

Neel,

I did read that today at a different link:- http://www.boston.com/news/health/bl...ists_crea.html

I think from a patients outlook this is what brings up back to the HOPE we have been looking for. Stem Cell is one HOPE which looks promising

Re: Stem Cells created without using embryos

I heared in over the news that this appears to be a major breakthrough especially since the laws in US are so not condusive to supporting research with embryonic tissues.
