Cancer Stem Cells Hint at Cure.
We need more disease specific stem cell lines.
Irving Weissman is also featured in a new article on stem cell research in California (PDF) by Chris Mooney.
But Fark told me there's still no cure for cancer.
You mean they lied?!?
Who ever would have guessed that the ever-expanding and garrulous Robert Smith--the David Crosby of new wave--and his band would be linked to stem cells?
Oh wait.
That's why Bush opposes it. He hates the Cure. Joy Division, on the other hand... (NSFW)
Joy Division, on the other hand...
Holy moly, it's Dita and Dubya gittin' kinky! Woohoo!
As a type I diabetic and godless secular humanist, I am all for advancing our scientific knowledge through stem cell research. It's about time we cured something again. Like diabetes, for instance.
However, http://www.joinleenow.org/html/trials.php>stem cells may not even be the best possible avenue for diabetes</a>. This doc thinks she might be able to regenerate islet cells without stem cells or immunosuppressive drugs. She needs funding, though, and Lee Iacocca is trying to help make it happen (his wife died of diabetes complications). If you know diabetics, let them know.
But yeah, still for the stem cell research. I want another Back to the Future movie.
PREVIEW, DAMMIT! Gah. Here's the link:
