New stem cell cures in the near term????

No, this isn't about embryonic ones (ES cells) but rather adult stem cells (AS cells) from the patient themselves.

Michael Fumento at TCS has an article on the current HUMAN trials using AS cells and the success rate they are having in repairing hearts, growing new blood vessels and the like. For folks like President Clinton who undergo by-pass surgery, this new research could mean no more need for the by-pass operation.

This could be very exciting news and a big surprise to the country since the media seems to think AS Cell research is not news worthy.
