I stated yesterday that stem cell science and technology was at an absolutely remarkable stage. But it’s difficult to see that going article by article, so I’m going to try something a bit different this time.
Some of these are a bit dated, but they still represent the top of the line technology and are an indicator to what the future of the science and research holds. I set the search to go back just one year. These are just some of the headlines that I’ve seen while surfing:

This should give you a good idea of where stem cell research is heading. In just this quick survey from one website, sciencedaily.com, we’ve seen potential treatments for the lungs, liver, heart, brain, pancreas, parathyroid, leukemia, blood, skin, muscles, nerves and much more.
And I only went to page 9 of 338! There’s a LOT of research going on in this area and I can only report a small (VERY) part of it.
You’re humble moderator is awed and can’t wait to see where this science and technology go in the next 10-20 years!
Godspeed my friends!
