US team creates stem cells of 10 incurable diseases
2 hours, 45 minutes ago http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080808...s_080808224258 WASHINGTON (AFP) - US scientists have cultivated a new line of stem cells that reproduce the genetic defects responsible for 10 incurable diseases such as muscular dystrophy and Parkinson's disease, a study said. The team managed to convert ordinary skin and bone tissue cells from patients with these diseases into stem cells which contain the same genetic fault. This could help step up research into finding an eventual cure, the study said in the latest edition of Cell magazine. "Researchers have long wanted to find a way to move a patient's disease into the test tube, to develop cells that could be cultured into the many tissues relevant to diseases of the blood, the brain and the heart, for example," said investigator George Daley.
