Looks like another blow to the embryonic stem cell crowd.

Interesting that the umbilical stem cells, which can be harvested without harming the child, appear to be more useful than embryonic stem cells, which reqire the destruction of the embryo.

Since the whole debate over the use of embryonic stem cells is a proxy debate over abortion, I expect this news will not get major play in the MSM.

transplanted multi-potent stem cells from umbilical cord blood

I'm so glad we're pushing hard for embryonic stem cell research... /sarcasm.

adult/umbilical cord stem cell research: 1

embryonic stem cell research: nothing

Stem cell issue aside, this is an incredible breakthrough if it pans out.

from umbilical cord blood

Hardly newsworthy.

It only counts if it comes from the aborted baby.

Dear Judge Greer,
What a bunch of quacks! Everyone knows that a patient paralyzed for so long has zero chance of recovery! Her spinal cord was MUSH, gone. Just look at the scans. This treatment does not fit the standard protocol for patient care! The prognosis of permanent paralysis is shown by the preponderance of evidence...and 7 of my colleagues concur...sarcasm

I agree, can this be used for parkinson's, alzheimers, brain injuries from strokes.

It may be reported, but will likely be followed up immediately with a report on the 'exciting possibilities' of embryonic stem cell research.

Or they'll report it merely as "stem cell research" in general and not mention the different kinds.

Do you guys notice Korea is producing far beyond its size.. whether its medicine, manufacturing or tech companies?

I noticed Israel had a similar breakthrough (with true adult stem) the other day.

Israel is a great power in moving our world forward scientifically. Especially in medical advances. Far beyond what you would expect from a small nation.

Thank you for posting this. Doctors Song, Han, and Kan are to be congratulated for this achievment. What must it be like to be paralyzed for 19 years and then be able to walk? It is almost like something you read about in the Bible.

Give it a rest. The cliche is becoming tired.

Hmmm this one says aborted stem cells can cause cancer. I did not know THAT. I am shocked the MSM could have over looked that little detail...

Is this the same story you pinged me to back in December?

Don't let facts get in their way. They're working on important research! ;-)
