stem cell researchers at the University of Minnesota and BioE, a company in my home State, have reported that they have successfully differentiated cord blood stem cells into lung cells. This potential breakthrough would extend the promise of stem cell research to a treatment of many respiratory conditions. And just this past February, researchers at the University of Minnesota discovered the potential application of cord blood stem cells in nerve tissue regeneration. This research reinforces the importance of the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act we passed last year, and why we must fully fund the stem cell research it authorized. This research out of my home State of Minnesota reminds us that stem cell research that respects life is already being used to provide astonishing miracles for devastating diseases. ____________________
