Stem cells found to heal damaged artery in lab study
The Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine has published findings showing evidence that embryonic stem cells can be used to repair arteries, at least in baboons.
Of course there is a way to go before we will be able to take a cell from tissues such as blood or skin and get it to behave like an embryonic stem cell (which can become anything), but this is great progress.
