Heard during one of the brief times I actually got to listen to Rush L., great new possible way to get stem cells:
HUMAN testes could be a source of embryonic-like stem cells, providing a way to grow tissue to repair the body without having to destroy or create embryos.
German researchers have discovered that cells from the testes of adult mice that normally turn into sperm can be transformed into different types of tissue, including liver, heart, muscle, skin, pancreas and nerve cells.
Dr Gerd Hasenfuss, of Georg-August University in Gottingen, said his team had begun studying the cells from testes in men and he was optimistic of getting similar results.
It would take quite a few Surrender Monkey testes, though, considering how small, if not completely atrophied, they are.
