WASHINGTON - Stem cells taken from human fat can be transformed into smooth muscle cells, offering a way to treat many kinds of heart disease, gastrointestinal and bladder ills, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.

Very cool. Fat into muscle... I need this one!
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

That's very interesting indeed. I'm not sure exactly how they would implement it though.
"The stem cells found in fat are known as multipotent stem cells. They can produce a variety of cell and tissue types, but are not as flexible as embryonic stem cells."
Just incase you were going to point out that they didn't need embryonic stemcells for this.

I'm only interested in pursuing this if it can cure sclerosis of the liver. You see, I have a little problem with the bottle.

LOL.
Seriously though these fundies are an enigma (actually they are just hypocrites, I was being nice). I wonder if these same idiots that are opposed to using discarded embryos will use the treatments that will come about from this research?
