Stem cells of marrow repair variety of tissues Stem cells from donated bone marrow might be capable of repairing damaged lungs, intestines and skin as well as other organs and tissues, according to a report published today. Embryonic clones tied to medical advances Researchers on Thursday released evidence suggesting that a patient's own embryonic clone could be used as a source of stem cells to treat that person for Parkinson's disease, diabetes and an array of other ailments. It may be safer to clone humans than sheep, new research contends, because people don't have a genetic defect implicated in producing oversized offspring.
