First is was Texas - Now It is Oklahoma
http://thehumanfuture.blogspot.com/2009/02/first-is-was-texas-now-it-is-oklahoma.html Oklahoma is investing in adult stem cell research. From <http://newsok.com/oklahoma-stem-cell-funding-plan-approved/article/3343324>this article: "State lawmakers have given preliminary approval to legislation that could provide nearly $2 million for adult stem cell research in Oklahoma." Which is pretty cool news. Like <http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a9RWlyVaUzCk>this news from Dr. Burt at Northwestern. Dr. Burt's research is with patients who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He uses the patients OWN stem cells to treat their disease. Which has the added benefit of not causing rejection issues. Read this! "Patients in the early stages of <http://www.nationalmssociety.org/about-multiple-sclerosis/what-is-ms/index.aspx>multiple sclerosis had their disability reversed in a study that used their stem cells to "reset" their malfunctioning immune system. All 21 patients in the study at Northwestern University in Chicago had the <http://www.nationalmssociety.org/about-multiple-sclerosis/what-is-ms/index.aspx>"relapsing-remitting" form of the disease that makes their symptoms alternately flare up and recede. Three years after being treated, on average, 17 of the patients had improved on tests of their symptoms, 16 had experienced no relapse and none had deteriorated, the study found. "This is the first study to actually show reversal of disability," said <http://www.medicine.northwestern.edu/scripts/bio.pl?pid=113>Richard Burt, an associate professor in the division of immunotherapy at <http://www.northwestern.edu/>Northwestern, and the lead author of the <http://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422%2809%2970017-1/fulltext>study published today in the British journal, the <http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/issue/current>Lancet.
