Not to toot my own horn...
But this is my lab, and what I have been working on. Frankly, its a HUGE breakthrough and I am very proud!
For those that don't know: "human skin cells have been reprogrammed by two groups of scientists to mimic embryonic stem cells with the potential to become any tissue in the body."

Not only could this change the face of medicine, but it could greatly improve the lives of many people that suffer from diseases today. Especially in the in USA where stem cell research has be stunted by government restrictions.
wow thanks!!!

Good Morning,
as I didn't sleep very well early this morning I watched CBS news discussion and guess what? They were discussing this great cell breakthrough and I just had to tell you this morning. Many different opinions and valid great thoughts on the matter.
Jazz Cat carry on.

Thank you all, it does feel good to know I am doing something helpful. I just hope that this technology gets developed further and can start curing rather than treating diseases.
I will tell you this though, this was nothing next to something I experienced last week. I was working on a patients tests, and noticed a simple mistake. I made a call to the attending doctor and informed her. I received a call later from the doctor who told me that the simple mistake I caught saved the patient's life. I will never forget that feeling, wow, what a great day!
