Adult Stem Cell Study Launches In Boston

Fight Aging!

Do you want to live a longer life in good health? Simple practices can make some difference, such as exercise or calorie restriction. But over the long haul all that really matters is progress in medicine: building new classes of therapy to repair and reverse the known root causes of aging. The sooner these treatments arrive, the more lives will be saved. Find out how to help »

The Boston Business Journal reports on a new adult stem cell research project. This aims to provide regenerative therapies for certain types of heart disease - as such, it is very similar to a successfully demonstrated therapy from 2003 that is currently blocked by the FDA. We have to hope that the FDA won't simply repeat this process for this new line of research, given the damage to health and scientific research caused by these sorts of interventions. This research is valuable and should not be blocked by a small political elite: now is the time to write to your representatives and help to make stem cell research an issue in the Presidential election cycle.
