Scientists use 'therapeutic cloning' to fix mitochondrial genes
U.S. researchers have used a controversial cloning technique to make new, healthy, perfectly matched stem cells from the skin of patients with mitochondrial diseases in a first step toward treatment for these incurable, life-threatening conditions.

A Pancreas in a Capsule
Stem-cell advocates pin their hopes on an artificial pancreas to treat diabetes.Fourteen years ago, during the darkest moments of the “stem-cell wars” pitting American scientists against the White House of George W. Bush, one group of advocates could be counted on to urge research using cells from human embryos: parents of children with type 1 diabetes.
