It persists in being about five degrees colder up at my desk than down by the computer. It is 64 degrees up here, 69 downstairs. ☹

Adult Stem Cells and Type 2 Diabetes

Posted by Luke Schierer under morality/religion, science | Permalink | | Leave A Comment

There is or is going to be an article in the Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science talking about a study in which adult stem cells, which pose no ethical problems, were used to cure type 2 diabetes in mice.[1] This is the sort of thing that ought to be incredibly news worthy. It will be under-reported, however, because of the focus on embryonic stem cells.
