This weeks TIME Magazine has the Stem Cell Coming Revolution on the cover and as it's feature article. Douglas Melton, co-director of Harvard's Stem Cell Institute, has worked unrelentlessly with stem cells for the better part of two decades. Exciting progress has been made. The article says, "it is now possible for researchers to churn out unlimited quantities of a patient's stem cells, which can be turned into any of the cells that the body might need to repair or replace." "It is a wonderful time for the stem cell field. Keep on your seat belt, because this ride is going to be wild." says David Scadden, co-director with scientist Douglas Melton of the Harvard's Stem Cell Institute.
For those of us who have Ataxia, MS, Parkinsons, Diabetes and many other uncurable diseases, this is music to our ears and hope of the near future. The journey to recovery is getting closer every day.
