Summary:
The Guardian Unlimited reports on a new study investigating the effectiveness of stem cells found in testicles can have applications in regenerative medicine:
"British scientists have been granted permission to investigate whether stem cells found deep inside testicles can be used to repair damaged tissues and organs. If the scientists succeed in harvesting the cells and keeping them alive, they could pave the way for powerful new therapies for conditions as diverse as heart disease, Parkinson's and spinal cord injuries, without the need to destroy human embryos to collect them."
