MY STEMS

[MinnieM]

Interesting article locks... but, here's the thing I don't understand. Or, one of them. ;)

Take this line from the article:

Meanwhile, researchers continue calling for the addition of the other 20 Bush-approved lines to the NIH registry -- a task that the WISC Bank is working on, Forsberg said.

It's been my understanding that the Bush lines are now human to bovine, which makes them unusable for humans. Why does anyone even care what happens to them now? I'd love it if someone could explain this.

The Obama lines that were opened up for research are the human to human ones. These are the ones the focus should be on since these are the ones that can be used for human therapies.

Perhaps, I need to do a bit more research over the next few days if time permits. ;)
