Fat cells and pigment-producing skin cells can be reprogrammed into stem cells much faster and more efficiently than the skin cells that are usually used — suggesting large bellies and little black moles could provide much-needed material for deriving patient-specific stem cells.

Since I've already gone through all that involves a bone marrow transplant and survived(thank you Jesus) in 19991, I am stunned and extremely impressed at the progress being made with cancer research in general and treating leukemia specifically.

And as "luck" would have it, I have a "large belly" and a "little black mole" on my posterior!

All kidding aside, I thank God for delivering me from my trial, and for the literally THOUSANDS of cards and letters from total strangers praying for me!!

If you haven't already, join the NATIONAL BONE MARROW DONOR REGISTRY!

THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE A FREEPER LIKE ME!!!
