Adult Stem Cell Growth Treats Cornea Disorders

stemcellar writes with a link to the ScienceDaily site, reporting on a method for adult stem cells to grow cornea stem cells. This use of differentiated stem cells in therapies on specific parts of the body is fairly novel, the article states, and could have numerous applications in medicine. "The research undertaken by the ophthalmologist has shown that, from a small biopsy sample, the new growth technique enables the growth of the number of stem cells thus obtained to the point of obtaining sufficient for the treatment to be effective. The cell sample is taken from the limb of the healthy eye - the ocular structure responsible for the transparency of the cornea. The importance of this growth method lies in the fact that it enables the characterization of the cells obtained, i.e. determining the quantity and viability of the units to be used."

i am sick of you bleeding heart liberals

[Anonymous Coward]

always about the children with you people. first it was 'stop child labor', then it was 'stop child sexual abuse', now it is 'stop harvesting organs from children'. where is this going to stop? i suppose next you are going to take away underground child fighting?

people like you are what is holding this country back. i suggest you move to some workers paradise like canada, where they dont even know what an MRI machine is, or how to do labial resurfacing, but at least they all get the same crappy free health "care", which involves 19th century bone drills and hacksaws in order to 'balance your four humors'.

please move, american cant deal with any more like you.

I have to wonder, if the US is, as some say, a "Christian Nation" and "Blessed by God", has it done us any good?

I feel I have to point out that, after legislation after legislation is passed to chase God OUT of the country, people can't complain when He's no longer there to protect it.
