"After a few more flight tests—in order to assure everything is working properly—it should be ready for commercial use," a researcher said of...http://www.newser.com/story/60455/safer-stem-cells-bring-real-life-treatments-closer.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 29 May 2009 11:34:19 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35998/scientists-reprogram-adult-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagIn a stunning medical advance, scientists have found a way to transform an adult cell in a living animal into an entirely different type of cell. The development is another step toward freeing the field of regenerative medicine from the controversies of stem-cell research. Harvard biologists discovered three key molecular...http://www.newser.com/story/35998/scientists-reprogram-adult-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 28 Aug 2008 2:20:37 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33906/scientists-see-breakthrough-in-stem-cell-production.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagA US team has made a breakthrough in stem cell research, growing new nerve cells from the skin of patients suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease, or ALS. The work marks the first time disease-specific stem cells have been generated from a patient.The method could be used to tailor replacement...http://www.newser.com/story/33906/scientists-see-breakthrough-in-stem-cell-production.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 01 Aug 2008 8:18:15 CDT
