[extropy-chat] Embryonic stem cells

[Jeff Davis]

Like Columbus' "discovery" of America, Watson and
Crick's Eureka moment set in motion a tsunami of 
transformation.  Witness now the first ripples of
change, as that wave of the future sweeps, in the
remote and abyssal darkness of the origin of all
things, against those promontories that mark the
awakening of consciousness.   

And it's just the beginning of the beginning.

Lovely.

Embryonic stem cells correct congenital heart defect
in mouse embryos

Can signal neighbor cells to repair

NEW YORK, NY - A study published in the October 8
issue of Science describes a previously unsuspected
capacity of embryonic stem cells to influence
neighboring defective cells and restore their capacity
to function normally. 

Best, Jeff Davis
