I found an extremely interesting article about a Europe-wide trial (which is currently recruiting patients) to treat Crohn’s Disease. The study will attempt to find out if stem cells taken from the sufferer’s own body can provide effective long-term remission.
Aside from this being a possible cure (or at an alternative treatment), I find this quite interesting because the stem cells would be taken from the individual’s body – not from a stem cell bank or from any other controversial sources. How can the folks who are against stem cell research argue with this? I welcome any insight here because I would really like to know.
Anyhow, the article is from physorg.com – http://www.physorg.com/news112978675.html
Enjoy the read!
