Stem-cell law goes to the polls
sea-maid submitted, created time 3 weeks 2 days (www.nature.com)
The 4 November election will settle more than who sits in the White House. The U.S. state of Michigan presently has a law forbidding active research on living human embryos. If a Michigan woman has gone through infertility treatments and wants to donate leftover embryos to the research facilities at the Michigan Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research in Ann Arbor, then she must either throw the embryos away or send them to another state 
Can Mesenchymal Stem Cells Induce Tolerance to Cotransplanted Human Embryonic Stem Cells?
jerry submitted, created time 1 month 2 days (www.nature.com)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are reported to be immune privileged. We assessed whether their transplantation (Tx) could create a suppressive microenvironment mitigating rejection of coinjected human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)...
Testicles could provide "ethical" stem cells

This article provides more information about last week's announcement that researchers have found a form of adult stem cells that appear to be as versatile as embryonic cells ...in men's testicles.
A team out of the University of Tubingen in Germany managed to convert spermatagonial cells into skin, gut structures, cartilage, bone, muscle, and neurons, quite an accomplishment. Some of their colleagues are enthusiastic. Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology in Massachusetts (U.S
Stem cells on the battlefield: the military takes interest in transfusions
Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 1 week (www.nytimes.com)
We've discussed these several issues with other articles, but the Times stitches them together nicely. When we talk about stem cells, people tend to think of old men with Alzheimer's. When we talk about regenerative medicine, people tend to think of regrowing lost limbs. But the fact that companies--and the University of Ohio--are trying to hammer the kinks out of turning embryonic stem cells into red blood cells. DARPA is taking a deep interest, hoping for a way to turn progenitor cells into blood cells ont he battlefield
Republican presidential platform would ban all human embryonic research
Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 2 weeks (www.nature.com)
The Republican presidential platform proposes banning all human embryo research throughout the United States. Although John McCain himself has voted to loosen federal restrictions on stem cell funding, the party that supports him appears to be taking a more conservative line.
But for the grammar enthusiasts among us, the change in the platform was effected with one word. They canged "and" to "or," so that they call for a ban on the "the creation of or experimentation on human embryos for research purposes
First GM human embryo is created!
Sue Wu submitted, created time 6 months 1 week (www.timesonline.co.uk)
Scientists have created what is believed to be the first genetically modified (GM) human embryo.
A team from Cornell University in New York produced the GM embryo to study how early cells and diseases develop. It was destroyed after five days

A plan to hold a presidential debate on science and technology issues in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, next week has failed. Now organizers hope to stage the event on May 9 in Oregon. But with candidates careful to avoid missteps, that plan faces tough odds.
Human Embryonic Stem Cells Fix Stroke-Afflicted Rats
Sue Wu submitted, created time 9 months 1 day (www.sciam.com)
In a new study, rats were spared the limb-weakening effects of a stroke if they were treated with brain tissue cultivated from human embryonic stem cells. But unlike similar experiments, the transplanted cells gave no sign of causing tumors, according to a report this week in the online journal PLoS One.
UCLA joins skin-to-stem-cell club
Sue Wu submitted, created time 9 months 1 week (www.efluxmedia.com)
US scientists said they have successfully reprogrammed human skin cells to behave exactly as embryonic stem cells. The research was published in the Feb. 11 edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences. This is the third such confirmation that the technique is feasible
Human Embryos Cloned From Skin Cells
Eric wu submitted, created time 10 months 1 day (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)
A new breakthrough on stem-cell research!
A major breakthrough occurred last year when scientists figured out how to turn skin cells into ES-like cells. But they still want to be able to do cloning, otherwise known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), because embryonic cells are the "gold standard" for pluripotent cells--cells that can become any cell type in the body. In addition, scientists want to learn more about how an oocyte can reprogram a mature cell back into an ES cell.
Human embryos cloned from adult cells

A California company has brought human cloning research to a new level with efficient production of cloned human blastocysts — an early stage of embryos.
Disgraced cloner Woo Suk Hwang attempts a comeback
jane2007 submitted, created time 10 months 4 weeks (www.nature.com)
In January 2006, Woo Suk Hwang’s apparent breakthrough articles announcing the first cloned human embryonic stem cells were shown to be fabrications. It was the biggest scientific scandal in recent history, and one might have thought his scientific career was over.But on 17 December an official said that Hwang had applied for a new licence for this type of work. Work continues to be published under Hwang's name.The Korean science ministry is expected to make a decision on the application by April 2008.
Cloning of Human Stem Cells Speeds Up
Charles submitted, created time 1 year 3 weeks (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)
Scientists have created nearly a dozen new lines of human embryonic stem (ES) cells that for the first time carry the genetic signature of diseased or injured patients. The breakthrough represents a dramatic increase in the efficiency of creating such lines and may eventually pave the way for treating conditions such as spinal cord injury with stem cell transplants.
Can Adult Stem Cells Do It All?
freeman submitted, created time 1 year 4 months (www.sciam.com)
Stem cells have been hailed by scientists as the great hope to one day prevent, halt and even reverse damage from diabetes, spinal cord injuries and degenerative diseases. But researchers complain that political roadblocks are keeping them from determining the full potential of these cells.
PGD may harm embryonic viability, stem-cell harvesting
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 4 months (www.nytimes.com)
A study presented at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology shows that embryos grown from post-PGD blastocysts have a lower chance of growing successfully into a baby.
The focus of the article is on older women seeking children, but it also has ramifications for stem cells, which we learned some months ago can be grown from the daughter cells of PGD blastomeres.
