The Power of Stem Cells!

"...the discovery that human stem cells are able to immunize against colon cancer is both new and unexpected."

Next Big Future is one of the best websites to read during this period of incredible scientific advancements. Stem cell advancements and nano-technology advancements are the two most exciting areas of research. The use of skin cells to prevent cancer and to heal damaged body parts is going to accelerate increases in life expectancy.

One educated guess is that half of children born today will live more than 100 years. My expectation is for much greater advances. Our understanding of human cells is growing by leaps and bounds. The complexities remain, but significant progress will attract a flood of investment which will in-turn accelerate progress. Building a vaccine to immunize against colon cancer is the kind of achievement that attract top talent to this productive area of research.
