The need for healthy new cells is particularly acute in the case of spinal-cord injury, because once central-nervous-system tissue is destroyed, it does not regenerate - not in any significant way, at least. The Geron team began its work with what is known as a presidential stem-cell line - stem cells derived from discarded in vitro-fertilization embryos that already existed in 2001 when then President Bush decided to prohibit the use of federal...
...having more of these cells around the spinal cord, more nerves might be repaired and can then potentially re-establish proper connections. Simply by working with the GRNOPC1 cells, Geron scientists have learned more about how they operate, which will expand their understanding of how the central nervous system might be healed. Says Geron's president and CEO, Dr. Thomas Okarma: "They make dozens of factors that can stimulate nerve function, growth and regeneration." (Read "Scientists Reach Stem-Cell Milestone...

Both virtues are considered attributes of those people born under its symbol.
