Stem Cell Caution: Marrow cells spawn stomach cancers

Ive been waiting for the other shoe to drop on stem cells. Cancer

tumors can recruit our bodies to furnish them with blood vessels, it

is not surprising they would coop a growth engine like stem cells.

This science holds great promise, but it is good to hear all sides of

the studies, especially since many seriously ill MSers are already

involved in marrow cell transplant studies, and a few adventuerers

are traveling to foreign clinics for cord blood injections.
