Here’s just another indication of the potential power of ethically derived stem cells to alleviate human suffering. In rat studies, the stem cells improved the creation of adult stem cells and improved inflammation in aged animals. From the study:
The results demonstrate that a single intravenous injection of UCBMC in aged rats can significantly improve the microenvironment of the aged hippocampus and rejuvenate the aged neural stem/progenitor cells. Our results raise the possibility of a peripherally administered cell therapy as an effective approach to improve the microenvironment of the aged brain.
This obviously opens up hope for treatment of serious neural conditions associated with aging. But don’t tell the ALF. Rats were euthanized and their tissues studied in these experiments. The scientists had better be careful that the liberationists don’t nonviolently burn down their lab.
