Wind Pipe created from Stem Cells!

Stem cells come from sources other than a fetus? :confused::eek:

Who'dathunk :vulcan:

I assume you are just playing at not knowing this already?

That is very cool! Makes you wonder where we'll be ten years from now. Growing new hearts?

That's what I'm keeping an eye on. Although it seems that I may not be needing a new heart anytime soon...or ever.

Oh? Is there good news on the horizon for you?

Keeping it real simple: my right ventricle is still a horrid mess and may never come back but my left seems to have recovered and is normal and in a normal position despite how bad the right one is. It also seems that my failure at the stress tests may be due to some bad blood I got during one of my surgeries. I see a liver specialist next month for details.
 
Somewhere the far right is crying.
'scuse me, but those people are opposed to fetal stem cells, which people like you said is the only source of stem cells. As such, the Liberals, who said the Star Wars Missile Defense Plan (shooting a missile with a missile), and harvesting stem cells from other sources, would be impossible.

And once again -- WRONG.

That sounds encouraging. Good luck. :bolian:
 
A few years back they grew a human ear on the back of a hairless mouse.

Thanks! I not looking forward to the interferon treatment I may need to go through but it may make me feel much better when it is all over.
 
This is wonderful! I hope that stem-cell research that does not involve the destruction of human embryos continues to reap great rewards! :)

And live a nice long life. :cool:
