“Australia will have the world’s first dedicated adult stem cell research centre following the announcement of a $22 million grant to Queensland’s Griffith University,” said Nationals’ Leader in the Senate, Senator Ron Boswell (Endeavour Forum Newsletter No. 3, July 2006). “Cells from the nose can be grown into nerve, heart, liver, kidney and muscle cells. The Griffith team are already using their established cell line populations to investigate Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, Motor Neurone disease, mitochondrial diseases and epilepsy.”
