Over three decades, Bob Klein amassed a fortune by building and financing low-income housing. After his 14-year-old son was diagnosed with diabetes in 2001, however, he redirected his considerable political clout and business savvy. The longtime Democrat has since become one of the biggest private patrons of human embryonic stem cell research &#151; medical technology that many scientists believe can someday cure a wide range of ailments, including diabetes.

An injection of stem cells saved the sight of mice who would otherwise have gone blind, researchers reported this week. The study raises the prospect that some forms of human blindness might be treated with cells from a patient&#39;s own bone marrow.

A new study from Columbia University Medical Center finds that stomach (gastric) cancer originates from bone marrow derived stem cells (BMDC), rather than from stomach stem cells, as previously thought.
