British team grows human heart valve from stem cells

The non-embryonic stem/adult stem cell successes and breakthroughs keep pouring in.  Read about this breakthrough in the UK.  Apparently, scientists have created heart valves from bone marrow blood cells.  This has been reported previously with amniotic fluid cells.  If they can make it work, it will be huge.



It will be interesting to see if US media reports this.  I wonder if there will ever be so many ASC successes/breakthroughs that one day they will report studies like this without this line, "but experts mean it doesn't mean that we should stop embryonic stem cell research.  Everyone (with a brain) knows that embryonic stem cells can become any kind of cell."  I'm not counting on it.
