I've been tempted to post up pieces on stem cell therapies for some time, but it always seemed experimental and perhaps too niche to be of interest.
However, today the BBC News website features a big headline about a new cancer treatment that, although experimental, has had terrific results so far. In effect, it's personalized treatment that has been suggested for some time would be the future of medicine - so perhaps it is finally arriving:
'Remarkable' therapy beats terminal breast cancer

'Remarkable' therapy beats terminal breast cancer
The life of a woman with terminal breast cancer has been saved by a pioneering new therapy, say US researchers.
It involved pumping 90 billion cancer-killing immune cells into her body.
Judy Perkins had been given three months to live, but two years later there is no sign of cancer in her body.
The team at the US National Cancer Institute says the therapy is still experimental, but could transform the treatment of all cancer.
