Summary:
Scientists say they have isolated stem cells from the testes of male mice, extract them and reprogram them into blood vessels, heart cells and tissue. They say if the results can be reproduced in humans, the technology could help get around the ethical concerns associated with the use of embryonic stem cells and could be used to help treat Parkinson's, heart disease, strokes and cancer.
