Virus-Free Embryonic-Like Stem Cells Made From Skin Of Parkinson's Disease Patients
07 Mar 2009

Researchers reporting in the March 6th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, have developed a new way to produce human embryonic-like stem cells that are free of the viruses used to insert the key ingredients. They showed they could make those embryonic-like cells by reprogramming cells taken from people with unexplained (or idiopathic) Parkinson's disease.

Thanks Tena, Now I get the entire relevance of this article. Scratching that last sentence after rereading it. The cell is fascinating to study, but I am still hoping for a pill....lol
