Testicles may provide a better kind of stem cell |
They didn't have to look very far to find an alternative to all this bizzare
voodoo involving embryonic stem cells and cloning. Amazing what science can
accomplish when thet put a little effort into it.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,13509-2102393,00.html
Men may be carrying in their testicles an almost limitless supply of spare
part cells for treating disease and injury, research has suggested.
Scientists in Germany have successfully isolated a new kind of stem cell
from the testes of adult mice that can grow into a full range of tissue
types, offering a possible alternative to embryonic stem (ES) cells for
medical therapies.
If the findings are repeated in people, it could become possible to harvest
the cells from testicles and grow them into specialised tissues for treating
conditions such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease and paralysis.
As the cells would come from the patient's own body, they would be a precise
genetic match and would not risk rejection. This source of tissue would thus
remove any need for therapeutic cloning.

How many testicles would it take to provide a better kind of J Young ?

It'd be a bit more than aleph null. ;-)

It's a moot point, as the "J Young" we're stuck with is over his head when he
tries to count past what his fingers will allow.

I guess you weren't using your testicles for any productive purpose
anyway. But not all of us want to be geldings like you are.

threat to humanity posed by the AIDS virus, 'mad cow'
disease, and many others, but I think a case can be
made that faith is one of the world's great evils,
comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to
eradicate." -- Richard Dawkins

How are they going to get at them without committing an ABOMINATION unto
the Lord?

Oh, really? It would seem that half the population might still
require cloning. But maybe the comment just reflects your lack of
concern for that half.
