There are a couple of stories. Yesterday one was posted about a woman who had received a stem cell transplant for a major organ (I’ll have to look for it) The other is in today’s headlines about an FDA approved phase 1 (safety study) on Geron’s embryonic stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury. The story didn’t specify but it should say that those are from existing embyonic stem cells.
I also recently read about a new way to create stem cells that would NOT necessitate them being taken from embryos. Perhaps these may be the cells discussed. (I hope.)
