A potential health breakthrough [bold added]:
UC San Francisco researchers have discovered a new type of cell in women's breast tissue that might one day be used to heal a variety of wounds and damaged organs, without having to destroy embryos to acquire stem cells.
The newly discovered cells act similarly to embryonic stem cells in that they can be placed in mice or in a Petri dish and "instructed" to produce many different cell types.
Compared to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from skin tissue,
the newly discovered cells are more genetically stable than the iPS cells and are limited in how often they can reproduce, making them less likely to form cancers.
Women's breasts may soon save lives. I think guys always knew that instinctively, and that's why we worship them.
