Advance on Stem Cells

The next medical advancement made on stem cells will take place soon as parapalegics will be injected with new stem cells that could heal tissue damage.
After Bush left office, Geron Cooporation of Menlo park won approval to treat patients with stem cell research for the first time. If Obama sticks to his pledges on stem cells, this research and maybe even cures will continue.
Scientists are hoping that the cells drawn from approved embryotic cells will be injected into humans and hopefully stimulate the growth of new cells that will replace damaged tissue, muscles, and nerves.
With the debate about stem cells, how long will this research actually take place?

Obama is a great president. His presence is impacting grants like no other president prior. Grant funding for minorities and middle class have increased nearly 10,000% in the past week. Read more about it at my blog http://search-grants.blogspot.com

My mom was listening to this doctor talking about a kind of stem cell alternative. Although it can't regrow limbs or anything that extreme, it can greatly shorten healing and recovery times, and it doesn't involve any controversial practices since it uses cells from the meniscus in your knee. You wont be able to walk for a while until your meniscus grows back, but other than that, it should be a great alternative to stem cells. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what it was called, I don't even think it is has been officially announced to the public.
