I can't say I am very surprised by this.  I know the magic of adult stem cells.  Let me take you back 3 months- you may remember I reported a story about two brothers with a rare skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa.  The youngest boy, Nate Liao, was believed to be the first person in the world to be treated with stem cells (cord blood stem cells) for this condition.

Well, the results are in.  It is now being reported that the stem cells are helping- immensely!:

At 2 years old, bright-eyed Nate Liao can finally wear a T-shirt.

It may not sound like much, but eight months ago, the fabric would have caused his fragile skin to blister and rub off entirely.

Nate was a world first in October when he received an experimental transplant at the University of Minnesota to treat a hereditary and fatal skin disease known as recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, or EB. At the time, the treatment had been demonstrated only in laboratory mice, but the youngest of four Liao boys has made stunning progress.
