| Stem Cell Trigger Protein Isolated | | posted by art on Friday June 23, @06:30 (Research) | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ [0]art writes "Stem cells hold much potential in degenerative diseases like MS. Unfortunately, the "high octane" stem cells come from embryos. And there's a big political/moral debate on the use of embryos that stops us from finding out what we can do with them. These researchers have [1]isolated a protein that seems to take adult cells that are differentiating and turn them back into embryonic stem cells - all without any of those pesky embryos being involved. While they don't have it ready for mass production, it's good to see there are avenues where we might get our precious stem cells and avoid the whole embryo debate."
