Human Brain Tissue Made From Stem Cells

This looks promising especially for Alzhiemers patients. Now that we have a president in favor of stem cell research, hopefully we can start putting an end to these horrible diseases. I do apologize for making you click on the link. I can't figure out how to get the nice gray box I keep seeing.

 

From the article:

Quote
Riken said cortex tissues were also obtained from "induced pluripotent stem cells," which are similar to embryonic stem cells but artificially induced, typically from adult cells such as skin cells.


Can anyone remember which president first funded research for adult stem cells? 

Oh, yeah, Pres. George W. Bush. 

Can anyone tell me why it's preferable to use adult cells?  (besides the obvious...that you don't have to destroy a human life to obtain them?)

Oh, yeah...because they don't cause cancer.

Even the new DUmmies are stupid.   ::)

All DUmmies are stupid, insane, or moles. Intelligent, sane folks don't post at DU.

Difficult to come by and dangerous if used incorrectly?
