“Curses! Adult stem cells again!!!”

...what I suspect some biological-research friends will say about
this report

It seems that the real successes in stem cell reparative therapy are coming with adult stem cells - not embryonic stem cells. I don’t watch MSM, but I was wondering if the template about how important these embryonic stem cells were for medical advances had changed any?

Thanks. I didn’t see that post yesterday.

Stem cells are everywhere. The gut lining regenerates every three days, from stem cells. Even the brain has stem cells. Childrens Hospital has been in business for a long time and is highly competent; good they can do this research.

Adult stem cells does it again.
The pro-aborts will be saddened to see science advance without the need for more killed embryos.

Adult stem cells... oh the humanities!

Excellent...

The MSM simply leaves the word "embryonic" out of any reports.

The general public has been given to understand that the Bush administration opposes (all) stem cell research. They have also been lead to believe that there is some sort of ban on stem cell research -- not just no federal funding for embroynic stem cell research.

My son-in-law’s sight was saved by transplants of stem cells from his own eyes. Before too long a large proportion of people will see from their own experience that adult stem cells are producing miracles.

I know that most people don’t understand the difference - or don’t want to in some cases. It’s easy for MSM types to change or delete one word, especially in this matter, and continue to mislead.

What they said:

The myoendothelial cells also showed no propensity to form tumors, which is a concern with other stem cell therapies.

I think that they might have meant:

The myoendothelial cells also showed no propensity to form tumors, which is a concern with other embryonic stem cell therapies.

I haven't read of any adult stem cell research studies that show any propensity to form tumors similar to what embryonic stem cells seem to do. Might it be possible that there's a lower incidence with adult stem cells that's not being widely reported? I really don't know.

Glad ot hear about your son-in-law’s sight. Very good.

I agree with your comments. The gig is up for embyonic stem cells IMO.

This is obviously a fraud. Everyone knows that only embryoninc stems cells can cure diseases.

It is fiction that embryonic stem cell research is 'illegal'. It is legal in this country if funded with private money.

Now, if embryonic stem cell research had yielded any real results, it would have extensive private funding. That has not been the case. If there was money to be made in embryonic stem cell research, it would receive private funding. It has not, draw your conclusions.
