Stem Cells from Adipose Tissue Turned Into Cardiac Myocytes: Achievement Paves Way for Future Heart Disease Therapies

Spanish researchers have employed for the first time adult cells extracted from a human heart to turn stem cells from adipose tissue into cardiac myocytes. In other words, they have managed to "reprogram" adult stem cells -- an achievement that promises to improve treatments for heart disease.
My 2 cents: Hell yeah for medical advancements!  Love seeing the human race find new ways to deal with existing problems. Now think of how awesome the world would be if we spent even 1/4 or 1/3 of the amount of money we spend on foreign military operations, on scientific research instead.
