Ethicists, scientists vand policy makers from many countries are to gather for an international exchange on stem cell research. As the science advances clinical benefits emerge and debate continues.
As speakers will come from many European countries the transatlantic cooperation aspects are significant and will help public perception that stem cells are not some peripheral adjunct to mainstream medicine. It is interesting to see how much the words 'regenerative medicine' are being used in net-based information. I'm old enough for it to be a very new word that connotes cosmetic surgery and breast implants. However, it is also becoming a more easily recognised descriptor of stem cell research and clinical practice.
I guess if you couldn't walk to the letterbox before adult stem cell therapy and now can walk as far as you like, you would be quite happy to say you had received a regenerative medicine therapy - created anew, revitalized, refreshed, energised. Great meanings - great word.
Patients with cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease or congestive heart failure who have received their own adult stem cells and discovered the power of them to give them back a life
will, I am sure, be interested in new frontiers - new help for many of the diseases that to date have been untreatable - that will be emerging as the science and application of adult stem cell therapy speeds up.
