STUDY: BRAIN CELLS CAN BE CREATED FROM URINE:

A new study led by a Chinese stem cell biologist claims that brain cells can be created from human urine, allowing a way to study disease and even potentially avoid the debate over stem cell research and treatment.

The process works by transforming cells present in the urine into precursors of brain cells, known as neural progenitor cells. The study says the cells from urine are a, quote, "much more accessible source" than those from skin and blood.

There is another potential benefit as well, in that embryonic stem cells have a high risk of developing tumors, which reportedly wouldn't be an issue with cells taken from urine.

Ok. Let's never speak of this again.
