WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2009 (Reuters) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the way for the first trial to see if human embryonic stem cells can treat people safely, a company involved in the controversial research on Friday.

Quote
Geron will recruit eight to 10 recently injured patients and inject them with small numbers of human embryonic stem cells manipulated to become the oligodendrocyte cells that insulate nerves, and that produce compounds to stimulate the growth of nerve cells.


Good news.

Sorry, Great Rumbler, I've only seen cash grow a Pizza Hut so far.

The good news is that your new leg will be NBA caliber in 20 years! The rest of your body will be 34, though.  :-\
