that stem cells derived from the placenta known as Cdx2 cells can regenerate healthy heart cells after heart attacks

Notice this is not embryonic stem cells.

Hmm well I guess if they took the stem cells while severely abusing their man meat, the cells would go there and probably enlarge the organ! Better living through science?

Unique way to fix a woman's broken heart.

Mood adjustment through application of sanctifying balm!

I was under the belief that adult stem cell treatments were already under way, outside of Uncle Sam, for over a decade.

The above was an extraction of adult stem cells, hiding in the muscle (myoblast) tissue of the leg, then cultured/grown outside the body, and finally, put back into the damaged area like the heart.

Ppl, don't be fooled by American doctors, they are not the pantheon of originality like they want to think.

The smart ones in the field have moved onto adult stem cells, a long time ago. The embryonic debate was very 2000 AD where the idea that only from embryogenesis, could one get the right type of cell culture for effective treatments.

FYI, there's nothing wrong with researching embryogenesis, to help fetuses survive and not develop developmental problems, however, to resign oneself to the notion that only from there, can useful stem cell treatments be discovered is short sighted.

If I grind up children from my neighborhood and inject them into the offending part, will this work as well as the fancy schmantzy clinics?

I believe the difference here is that anyone’s placenta cells would work.
So, bull market on placentas?
Interestingly, full term births would produce the most usable tissue from an item that’s usually scrapped as medical waste, unlike the aborted baby tissue that was used 20 years ago.
