It figures, it really does, that this would have to be one of the first clinical uses of stem cells that they’d come up with.
The really weird thing about this article is its schizophrenic nature. It starts out with a sensationalistic description of the new use of stem cells, and then it describes the discovery of a mutated allele of a gene that gives around a 10% decreased risk of breast cancer. It’s like two entirely different articles pasted together in a haphazard fashion.
