Comment Organ Transplant (Score 1) 19
So it's effectively an organ transplant, only instead of using a donor organ, they use donor stem cells to grow the needed functionality in the recipient. That's a really cool technique, but it has all the rejection issues. Now if they could disable whatever caused the recipient's immune system to mess up their receptors in the first place, they could then use the recipient's own stem cells and eliminate all the immune suppression required for organ recipients, and it would be a real cure. This is one step in that process.
