"It will no doubt cause a great deal of consternation," said Dr. Salter about his paper.

I bet it will. There was no mention of "stem cells" in this report. If they don't need stem cells for this, how will they get the government funding earmarked for the hot new thing?

"The researchers caution they have yet to confirm their findings in people, but say they expect results from human studies within a year or so. Any treatment that may emerge to help at least some patients would likely be years away from hitting the market."

That last sentence is just plain unsat.

Wow.

Extremely cool. Extremely wonderful, if it can be fashioned into a cure or near-cure for humans.

I could have told them that. I am a fibromyalgia (chronic pain and fatigue) that suffered until a doctor got my sugar levels under control. Now the pain has lessened dramatically if not disapeared. As long as I control the sugar, I am functioning.

Classic! I would love to hear Michael J. Fox explain how something like this could (possibly) be discovered without having to kill any babies!
