Forget about stem cells research
Wednesday August 27, 2008 (foodconsumer.org) — Forget about stem cells research! Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Children’s Hospital in Boston have found a way for them to bypass stem cells to make special cells directly from adult cells, according to a study report released in the journal Nature.
Specifically, the researchers were able to turn adult cells into insulin producing beta cells, which is what type 1 diabetes patients need to produce insulin and metabolize blood sugar.
