Precursor Cells Generated From Human Embryonic Stem Cells Show Ability to Repair Vascular Damage in Animals link to ACT press release
Unfortunately, I didn't find any mention of immunosuppressant drugs, as if the rats and mice had no immune systems, until I found this: "Rats were immune suppressed by intramuscular injection of cyclosporine (2 mg/Kg/day) beginning one day prior to administering the cells, and continuing for the duration of the study." page 5 of this supplemental pdf from the methods.
Coleus has about 14 new threads from May 10 on adult stem cells at the link.
Looks like a resurgent meme as the MSMandarins head for Fire Island for the summer. Looking forward to a full season of swatting down these ESC stories like flies...
Suckers. Have your LWT prepared beforehand, guinea pigs...
Looking forward to the day when they can murder more babies for fun and profit.
Guess they need more grant money.

This is part of the Religion of the Left and they are still practicing human sacrifice.
Every time you hear of suicide bomber or something that is fire related that is some kind of Pagan practiced of old in a modern day!
Once again, ACT is hyping research that duplicates work already done using non-embryonic stem cell research. The only thing new is the possibility that they have come up with a way to make “Billions” of the plastic cells.
The Introduction to his article says exactly that. And so do the titles of the references, like these:
1. Rafii, S. & Lyden, D. Therapeutic stem and progenitor cell transplantation for organ vascularization and regeneration. Nat. Med. 9, 702–712 (2003).
2. Grant, M.B. et al. Adult hematopoietic stem cells provide functional hemangioblast activity during retinal eovascularization. Nat. Med. 8, 607–612 (2002).
3. Bailey, A.S. et al. Transplanted adult hematopoietic stems cells differentiate into functional endothelial cells. Blood 103, 13–19 (2004).
This was the subject of my blog, today.
