Ah, Adult Ones
In lab tests, mice with spinal injuries had some improvements after getting injections of adult human neural stem cells.Use the link for the rest of the article.
The mice showed evidence of spinal-cord-lesion repair and better mobility, report Aileen Anderson, PhD, and colleagues.
”This work is a promising step, and supports the need to study multiple stem cell types for the possibility of treating human neurological injury and disease,” says Anderson in a news release.
Andersonworks at the University of California at Irvine’s departments of physical medicine and rehabilitation, anatomy and neurobiology, and the Reeve-Irvine Research Center.
The study appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
I don't believe in using embryonic stem cells, but adult stem cells are absolutely fine. Adults don't die just to give them up.
