Re: What Made My Day Today? :-)

Last week news of freezing and unfreezing brain tissue by Chinese 
scientists came out. For the first time they claim they've done that 
without damage to brain tissue.

Though certainly something that the once resident MD of this newsgroup 
must be devouring these days to know how (he sells snake oil on the side 
on that theme), the implication of it is still ridiculously far fetched.

But this blog entry is about another advance that Chinese scientists 
claim they've made, which came out just today. And the big picture 
behind it. It is about curing the diabetes type 2. It involves 
transplantation of modified stem cells of the patient to pancreas. This 
prevent rejection, and these cells soon begin producing insulin for the 
patient. Their test person was completely cured by it and uses no 
medication whatsoever. He was in such a bad shape that needed several 
insulin shots a day to barely manage life.

In other words, scientists have found a way to determine which type of 
cell the stem cell is going to develop into. This is impressive.

Now the big picture, what made my day today, hence this entry :) Have 
you noticed that medical advances don't happen by the Americans anymore? 
A money-grab system immune to government regulations has already formed 
the ideal that can exist in the USA in the field of medicine. That's 
why! :-) Advancement in medicine stops at that. Diseases among Americans 
are as valuable and sought for now, as cures for them are elsewhere in 
the world.

That's what made my day :)
