Seaweed Transformed Into Stem Cell

ScienceDaily (Nov. 9, 2007) ? Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have transformed a polymer found in common brown seaweed into a device that can support the growth and release of stem cells at the sight of a bodily injury or at the source of a disease.

Seaweed in our future?

Zar - Not having a scientific gene in my body, I read this as something that will complement stem cell therapy in the future. It also mentions alginate. The Stem Enhance product that Cathryn has had so much success with is also an algae based product. I think anything that will continue to release those stem cells into our damaged bodies is going to be something that has to be paid attention to. Again, I am not a scientist, so if anyone wants to post something that contradicts my take on this, please do so. We are all here to learn. Seaweed certainly does have many medicinal properties. The Asians have known this for a long time.
