Nine months later it was discovered that she had changed blood types and her immune system had switched over to that of the donor after stem cells from the new liver migrated to her bone marrow.
Wow.  That's kind of, well, amazing.  If we're at the brink of another breakthrough in understanding how stuff works, this could have a very large impact.  Anything that reduces complications from organ transplants is ok in my book.

I've heard of spinal injuries being cured by adult stem cells harvested from the nose. Adult stem cells carry a lot of promise. Embryonic stem cells only seem to work for the embryos in question.

Weird. When my dad had his liver transplant 7 years ago, the donor had to be his blood type.

That's awesome! When my dad was in the Marines, his blood type was 0+. When he had a lot of medical problems back in the early 90's and ever since then it's been A+. That's what I thought the story would be about. But yeah, this is great. In fact, I'm all for stem cell research myself.

Pretty amazing.
