Separate teams used viruses to manipulate genes that caused mice skin cells to regress back into induced pluripotent stem cells—which, within a placenta...http://www.newser.com/story/65148/scientists-breed-mice-from-stem-cell-alternative.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 23 Jul 2009 14:26:01 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/56702/gore-righties-bond-over-non-embryonic-stem-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagSome conservatives see recent investments by Al Gore’s venture-capital group into stem-cell research involving a non-embryonic variety as a tacit denial of that more invasive method, the New Scientist reports. Gore’s company has put $20 million into a project researching treatment with induced pluripotent stem cells, which do not require...http://www.newser.com/story/56702/gore-righties-bond-over-non-embryonic-stem-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagMon, 20 Apr 2009 15:52:00 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/49749/new-research-raises-hopes-for-viable-human-cloning.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagHuman cloning, for medicine or even reproduction, may be more realistic than ever, Wired reports. Researchers found genetic characteristics similar to normal human embryos in cloned human embryos. The findings are a first step toward therapeutic cloning, in which embryonic stem cells that can replace failing tissues are grown from...http://www.newser.com/story/49749/new-research-raises-hopes-for-viable-human-cloning.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 03 Feb 2009 16:07:39 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/38515/docs-tout-safer-non-embryonic-stem-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagScientists have discovered a safer way to turn adult cells into stem cells, the Boston Globe reports. The cells, similar to those harvested from embryos, are called induced pluripotent stem, or iPS, cells; Japanese researchers introduced the method 2 years ago. But the Japanese used retroviruses, which can cause cancer;...http://www.newser.com/story/38515/docs-tout-safer-non-embryonic-stem-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 26 Sep 2008 15:34:01 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35998/scientists-reprogram-adult-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagIn a stunning medical advance, scientists have found a way to transform an adult cell in a living animal into an entirely different type of cell. The development is another step toward freeing the field of regenerative medicine from the controversies of stem-cell research. Harvard biologists discovered three key molecular...http://www.newser.com/story/35998/scientists-reprogram-adult-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 28 Aug 2008 2:20:37 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33906/scientists-see-breakthrough-in-stem-cell-production.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagA US team has made a breakthrough in stem cell research, growing new nerve cells from the skin of patients suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease, or ALS. The work marks the first time disease-specific stem cells have been generated from a patient.The method could be used to tailor replacement...http://www.newser.com/story/33906/scientists-see-breakthrough-in-stem-cell-production.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 01 Aug 2008 8:18:15 CDT
