Stem Cell Treatment May Relieve Angina.
Stem cell advancements have been receiving increased attention lately in the media. In early July 2011 ABC News did a story on how stem cells repair hearts and, most recently, how they helped recreate the trachea that has been transplanted into a man.
What the media often fails to report is that these advancements come with stem cells from the patients own body – these are adult stem cells. This most recent article on stem cells relieving angina is just another example of the promise and progress made with adult stem cell research – without the death of one human being in order to extract embryonic stem cells – which have yet to produce any comparable progress.
