China just cured Type 1 diabetes with stem cells! Within 75 days, the patient had normal glucose level; and has maintained that for a year now. Groundbreaking medical accomplishment! And the surgery takes only half an hour! #Science is awesome 🧬🦾🚀🤯 https://www.scmp.com/news..

The approval of stem-cell therapies has also faced regulatory disruptions in Japan, South Korea, the United States and Europe due to limited public understanding of the science, legal ambiguity and incidents that have led to patient deaths.

Despite these barriers, stem-cell trials for conditions such as cancer and neurological diseases are increasing worldwide. Saw a related session about producing food in labs with stem-cell technology, scientists discussed the technologies to grow meat and seafood – mainly fish – and how to scale production. To cultivate seafood, scientists would isolate tissues from aquatic animals and then cultivate those cells under ideal conditions. Compared to traditional seafood production, cultivating food is considered to be more environmentally sustainable, ethically acceptable and free of common aquatic contaminants, according to a scientist working in Singapore. We were glad that the researchers did not forget about making lab-grown meat tastier by adding healthy fat. #The FoodTech Lab scmp.com/news/china/scien..

Most cultured meats are produced using synthetic carriers but the grain staple provides a natural, nutritious alternative, researchers said.

The stark divisions in scientific priorities around the world were are palpable, with recent researchers in Sweden announcing that their new stem-cell therapy had just been approved to enter clinical trials, while another researcher based in the US announced that the research project they were presenting on had been terminated just this week. In a vital field that could bring hope to millions suffering from devastating conditions, scientific unity and the pursuit of the common good are paramount.
