From today's SF Chronicle:

<<Thomas Okarma, chief executive of Geron Corp. of Menlo Park, a widely acknowledged leader in embryonic stem cells, said his company hoped to file for approval of a clinical trial in 2005, using cells derived from embryonic stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries. Such treatment has restored mobility in some paralyzed rats, he said.

"We've gone way beyond the academic world and where most of the pundits think the field is," Okarma said. Geron does not do therapeutic cloning but uses human embryonic stem cells derived from embryos left over from fertility clinics, created by the fertilization of egg by sperm. >>
