Way off Topic: Stem Cell

Here is a company (TriStem) that I have been reading about and following for over a year and would like to be involved with if they ever go pubic … They are creating Stem cells within hours and with great volume. Bypassing all of the ethical questions that are so much a part of any discussion of stem cell research… There is a lot of good reading on their web site at http://www.tristemcorp.com/index.htm


What are the implications and potential of the technology in terms of its therapeutic use?

Many diseases (e.g. Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, heart, diabetes) result from the dysfunction of a single cell type. With TriStem's technology, the introduction of healthy cells of a particular type in large quantities into a patient could potentially restore a lost or compromised function. In addition, the retrodifferentiation process can also help us to understand better, and possibly treat, cancer and AIDS.
