A man’s jaw was refashioned using adult stem cells from his own fat. From the story:
Scientists in Finland said they had replaced a 65-year-old patient’s upper jaw with a bone transplant cultivated from stem cells isolated from his own fatty tissue and grown inside his abdomen…Using a patient’s own stem cells provides a tailor-made transplant that the body should not reject.
I can’t think of anything pithy to write here, there are so many of these stories being reported these days. But we shouldn’t let that make us sanguine about how remarkable moral regenerative medicine is turning out to be.
