A step towards producing transplant tissue that’s genetically matched to women:

A new research published online by the journal Cloning and Stem Cells, reports that scientists from Lifeline Cell Technology in Walkersville, Md., and Moscow have successfully created embryonic stem cells by stimulating unfertilized eggs. This new advance could enable a woman who wants a transplant to treat a condition like diabetes or a spinal cord injury, simply provide her eggs to a lab, which in turn could create tissue that her body wouldn’t reject. Kent Vrana of Pennsylvania State University, said: “It’s a big deal, it’s a very nice advance.”
