Be still my beating stem cell heart
sea-maid submitted, created time 6 months 3 weeks (www.newscientist.com)
There's a new recipe in the embryonic stem cell cookbook. Scientists have announced the creation of a human master heart cell, able to transform into all the different cells that make up a beating heart. In this study, the scientists have begun experiments to transform iPS cells into the heart cells. 
New use for stem cells found in war on terrorism

For more than a decade, Steve Stice has dedicated his research using embryonic stem cells to improving the lives of people with degenerative diseases and debilitating injuries. His most recent discovery, which produces billions of neural cells from a few stem cells, could now aid in national security. In collaboration with the US Naval Research Laboratory, Stice hopes to use his recently developed neural cell kits to detect chemical threats.

Recent studies have suggested that, in ES cells, inactive genes encoding early developmental regulators possess bivalent histone modification domains and are therefore poised for activation. However, bivalent domains were not observed at typical tissue-specific genes.
New Reports: stem cell find missing link

A NEW type of stem cell just discovered in rats and mice is the biological "missing link" between human and rodent embryonic stem cells.The claim comes from two independent teams of British, US and Swedish scientists who predict their discovery will crank up the pace of medical discovery, bringing embryonic stem cell therapies closer to reality.
Senate renews battle over stem cell funding

"The Senate Appropriations Committee has fired back against President Bush's veto of increased federal funding for stem cell research by pushing new legislation that would greatly expand the number of cell lines that qualify for government research support. And supporters forecast a blizzard of new legislative moves that will keep this issue front and center in Washington."
Survey challenges stem cell stance
DanyC submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (www.nzherald.co.nz)
The survey, made public on the day US President George W. Bush vetoed legislation to expand federal funding for human embryonic stem-cell research, tracked the attitudes of the people in a position to donate these embryos to create stem-cell batches, or lines, for research.
AAAS comments on stem cell veto and Executive Order
deirdre submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (www.eurekalert.org)
The President has again vetoed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, which would expand federal support for embryonic stem cell research. AAAS, the world's largest general scientific society, stands with a broad coalition of Americans spanning all parties and faiths that supports this bill.
The scientific consensus is that embryonic stem cell research is an extremely promising approach to developing more effective treatments for devastating conditions like diabetes, spinal cord injuries, and Parkinson's disease

"Despite disagreements about the ethics of embryonic stem-cell science, research in the field is thriving globally. At least 500 companies and collaborations have sprung up, 100 of them in the past year alone, according to industry watchers. And although therapies are still largely at the preclinical and safety-testing stages, coaxing these cells to recapitulate development in vitro is already unveiling the beginnings of pathogenesis, revealing new drug targets. Basic and translational research positions are proliferating, drawing on a pool of applicants with diverse biomedical backgrounds."
A novel view of the transcriptome revealed from gene trapping in mouse embryonic stem cells
captainclaw submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (www.genome.org)
"Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cell lines with the capacity of self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into specific cell types. Researchers performed the first genome-wide analysis of the mouse ES cell transcriptome using ~250,000 gene trap sequence tags deposited in public databases. They unveiled >8000 novel transcripts, mostly non-coding, and >1000 novel alternative and often tissue-specific exons of known genes. Experimental verification of the expression of these genes and exons by RT-PCR yielded a 70% validation rate
US stem cell update -- Maryland
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.nytimes.com)
The Maryland stem cell commission handed out its first grants two days ago, for facial repair and spinal cord repair. The Maryland Stem Cell Research Commission states that it hopes to bring new treatments to patients and new technology to Maryland. The fund totals $14 million.
To recap, human embryonic stem cell research is legal in the United States. What is not legal is to perform research with funds from the federal government on any human embryonic stem cell that does not come from one of the eleven stem cell lines that were established before the date of the funding ban

"A transcription corepressor, MAT1-mediated transcriptional repressor (MMTR), was found in mouse embryonic stem cell lines. MMTR orthologs (DMAP1) are found in a wide variety of life forms from yeasts to humans. MMTR down-regulation in differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells in vitro resulted in activation of many unrelated genes, suggesting its role as a general transcriptional repressor."
Stem cell eye repair discovery
crackpot submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.news.com.au)
STEM cells made from human embryos can home in on damaged eyes, hearts and arteries of mice and rats, and appear to start repairs, a US company says. Massachusetts-based Advanced Cell Technology said it had devised a straightforward way to make blood vessel precursor cells out of the stem cells and plans to test them in humans.
Brazil court hears embryonic stem cell testimony

"Brazil's Supreme Court opened its chambers to the public for the first time on Friday as it heard testimony over whether medical researchers using stem cells from frozen embryos were violating a constitutional right to life."
Endothelial potential of human embryonic stem cells
psychologist submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (bloodjournal.hematologylibrary.org)
There has been a growing interest in using endothelial cells for therapeutic purposes. This interest has led to exploring the use of endothelial progenitor cells isolated from human embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are advantageous when compared with other endothelial cell origin, due to their high proliferation capability, pluripotency, and low immunogenity. However, there remain many challenges and obstacles to overcome before the vision of using embryonic endothelial progenitor cells in the clinic can be realized
Insulin-Expressing Colonies Developed From Murine Embryonic Stem Cell–Derived Progenitors
amanda submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (diabetes.diabetesjournals.org)
"Previous studies describe a unique culture method for the commitment of murine embryonic stem cells to early endocrine pancreata. In this report, early pancreatic-like ß-cell progenitors were enriched and a colony assay devised to allow these progenitors to differentiate into insulin-expressing colonies in vitro."
