...study Researchers at the biotech firm Novocell report the first successful use of human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) in treating a disease--diabetes--in mice. After generating HESCs from excess fertility-clinic embryos, the scientists cultured the cells for 12 days in a medium that directed them to become pancreatic cells. These were transplanted into mice whose own pancreatic cells had been deliberately destroyed, making them insulin-deficient. Within 45 days, new cells began producing fresh insulin...

She offers separate group courses for men and women at the clinic, and private courses and consultations for couples. "Couples come and tell me that they feel something is wrong about their sexuality," she says. Her therapeutic response is influenced in part by the duration of the marriage. Kotb also counsels patients on questions of masturbation and homosexuality (although she treats the latter as an "unnatural" impulse to be "treated"), but refuses to take on any cases involving sexual relations outside of marriage...
