Penelitian begini, sekarang ini lazimnya dilakukan oleh orang kafir...

Orang Islam lebih asyik membuang-buang waktunya untuk tunanggang tunggik lima 
kali sehari; lelbuang-buagnuang untuk miter-muter sekeliling kaabah lalu 
melempari setan yang nggk ada di padang pasir; atau saling berbunuhan seperti 
di Pakistan, Darfur, Aljazair dll.; atau bikin onar...

Islam itu, saya bilagn dan saya ulang adalah laknat buat ummat manusia, artinya 
juga buat orang Islam sendiri..

Japanese researchers make brain tissues from stem cells

Japanese researchers said Thursday they had created functioning human brain 
tissues from stem cells, a world first that has raised new hopes for the 
treatment of disease.

Stem cells taken from human embryos have been used to form tissues of the 
cerebral cortex, the supreme control tower of the brain, according to 
researchers at the government-backed research institute Riken.

The tissues self-organised into four distinct zones very similar to the 
structure seen in human foetuses, and conducted neuro-activity such as 
transmitting electrical signals, the institute said.

Research on stem cells is seen as having the potential to save lives by helping 
to find cures for diseases such as cancer and diabetes or to replace damaged 
cells, tissues and organs.

The team's previous studies showed stem cells differentiated into distinct 
cells but until now they had never organised into functioning tissues.

"In regenerative therapy, only a limited number of diseases can be cured with 
simple cell transplants. Transplanting tissues could raise hopes for greater 
functional recovery," the institute said in a statement.

"Cultivated tissues are still insufficient and too small to be used to treat 
stroke patients. But study of in-vitro cultivation of more mature cortex 
tissues, such as those with six zones like in the adult human brain, will be 
stepped up," it said.

The tissues could also serve as "a mini organ" for use in studying the cause of 
the Alzheimer's disease and developing vaccines, it said.

Embryonic stem cells are harvested by destroying a viable embryo, a process 
that some people find unacceptable.

Riken said cortex tissues were also obtained from "induced pluripotent stem 
cells," which are similar to embryonic stem cells but artificially induced, 
typically from adult cells such as skin cells.

The research was led by Yoshiki Sasai at Riken Centre for Development Biology 
in western Japan's Kobe.

The cultivated tissues look like minature mushrooms two millimetres (0.08 
inches) in diametre.

The team also succeeded in making cortex tissues from the embryonic stem cells 
of mice.

Using mouse tissues, scientists confirmed they had formed a network of neurons 
that properly respond to stimulus.

The tissues can also be selectively induced to different cortex types 
controlling memories, visual sensation and other tasks.

The findings of the study were published in the November 6 online journal Cell 
Stem Cell in the United States.
