Adult Stem Cells Help Save Lives of Liver Patients
If this were not about adult stem cells, it would be a much bigger story. But get this: Liver cancer patients whose liver was too far gone to have surgery, were able to have sufficient liver generated with the help of their own adult stem cells, to the point that they regenerated sufficient liver to sustain surgery. Six of the eight patients treated are still alive two years later.
This is superb news. Not that you are likely to read much about it in the American media.

Yeah, you're right. The American media hates adult stem cells.
It was only a few days ago they discussed ASC as one of the cover story on the Today Show.
Royale: The American media ignores most adult stem cell advances and often hypes ESCR supposed breakthroughs. The occasional exception doesn't mean much of anything since the mantra that embryonic stem cells offer the best promise, embryonic stem cells offer the best promise, etc., is repeated in story after story--even though it remains entirely theoretical.
