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.
