More stem cell progress
Scientists have been able to get stem cells to grow brain cells. Unfortunately this is being done with mouse stem cells and not something higher up the evolutionary chain, possibly even another primate so that we'd have a fairly close idea of what we could expect to encounter in reproducing this for humans. Still, progress is good and when you consider the effects this could have on things like Parkinsons disease, one is gladdened this research is being done.
