X-Message-Number: 18570 Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 07:02:29 -0500 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #18562 - #18569 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 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18570
