Good News For Our Children

I am so glad to see that the "father" of stem cell research has discovered a way to reap the same benefits from skin cells. His new discovery allows researchers to gain the benefits from ordinary skin cells that were previously gained from stem cells. 

Dr. Thomson and other scientists will now be able use these skin cells to study complex human diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's in a petri dish and begin to find causes and treatments. And, what's more, they say it may be possible to use the cells to grow replacement tissues for patients. The benefits our children and grandchildren will gain from this courageous man's work will grow for many years to come.
