In keeping with the article that Saska provided yesterday, here's another.

From the article:
Researchers from Harvard and Columbia have moved one step closer to discovering the cause of the fatal neurodegenerative Lou Gehrig’s disease through a novel use of embryonic stem cells from mice.

Cheers!

its great to know that there are some promising developments in this area, however until we can get the government to understand the neccesity of stem cell research it will go nowhere i encourage all to write their senators and congressmen/women, maybe someday we can eliminate alot of unnecesary suffering

You can also join researchamerica.com if you are in the US. It provides updates on when congress will go into session on this issue. Which I think is I also provides quick links to E-Mail your Senators and Congressman and Local Reps.

Hope this is helpful.
