HI everyone!

Just a little comment on stem cells. A recent paper looked at using
AMNIOTIC CELLS as sources for neurons. (They may not fit the criteria
for being stem cells, but their work suggests that they could become
neurons). Cf H Okawa et al, NEUROREPORT 12(18)(2001) 4003-4007.

I will actually discuss this and others in the next PERIASTRON, but
if we're going to talk about stem cells it might help to know that
the possibilities are much broader.

		Best wishes and long long life for all,
			Thomas Donaldson
