How interesting. I imagine this will lead to safer, less invasive, more natural looking and feeling breast enhancement for women who desire breast augmentation.

10/24/2006 article - success in early trials

Another article - success

Original article from 2/9/2004

This technique has also proven to be effective when used following damage due to disease or anatomical defect. For example, this procedure (when a team extracted patients? fat from their abdomen and thigh (lipo-suction) from 12 patients and then injected the fat into patients? vocal folds) gave vocal abilities and normal speech to their patient for the long-term ? one to two years so far.

LOL...talk about leveling the playing field. I'm all for it...but then how would you know if she's a "natural"...and would you care if it's all the same.

I guess this means stem cell penis enhancements are right around the corner...

If we put the amount of effort into the space program that we put toward boob enhancements, erectile dysfunction, and balding we'd be serving hot dogs on the moon right now.

Are there any major break throughs with stem cells and research?

Granted, I'm not that informed or up-to-date on the topic, but it seems like everything is just in its infancy and there really aren't that many true advances. Like it may help speak again, but is there anything that will do something?

There are currently over 70 treatments involving adult stem cells. They range from everything to Parkinson's Disease to Heart Disease. Embryonic stem cell treatment still number zero though because scientists can't get past the embryonic stem cell treatments creating tumors in lab animals.

In terms of possibilities, I'm assuming that embryonic stem cells hold the key to much more advanced treatment and medical breakthroughs than adult stem cells?
