Human Brain Tissue Made From Stem Cells
http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/11/06/brain-cells-stem.html


This looks promising especially for Alzhiemers patients. Now that we have a president in favor of stem cell research, hopefully we can start putting an end to these horrible diseases. I do apologize for making you click on the link. I can't figure out how to get the nice gray box I keep seeing.

3. Awesome! I wrote a paper on neonatal CNS development in school
I wonder if they used external growth factors, and if so to what extent...

Imagine if we had been putting just SOME of the money we have given to Haliburton and the rest of *'s cronies over the past 8 years.

when research will be allowed to go on full speed ahead.

I wonder, would it be of help to Creutzfeldt-Jakob patients. Granted the prions would keep eating away at the tissue, but surely replacing it periodically might be of some help?
