Advanced Cell Technology yesterday applied for a license to use embryonic stem cells left over from IVF treatment, to aid people suffering from a rare...http://www.newser.com/story/74468/blindness-cure-could-be-1st-human-stem-cell-trial.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 20 Nov 2009 5:41:56 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/68875/leftover-fat-from-lipos-is-liquid-gold-for-stem-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagBlubber may be the next big thing in stem cell research. Stanford scientists have found that leftover liposuction fat contains cells that can be changed into induced pluripotent stem cells—a type that doesn't require the use of an embryo, the San Jose Mercury News reports. Until now, scientists have...http://www.newser.com/story/68875/leftover-fat-from-lipos-is-liquid-gold-for-stem-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 08 Sep 2009 15:42:11 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/65148/scientists-breed-mice-from-stem-cell-alternative.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagScientists in China have created mice using stem cells made from modified skin cells—hinting at an alternative to embryonic stem cells, the Washington Post reports. 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/63814/synthetic-sperm-grown-from-stem-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagBritish scientists announced they have created synthetic human sperm for the first time, the Guardian reports. The sperm—grown in a lab from stem cells—swim, have tails, and exhibit many of the same biological characteristics of real sperm, according to researchers. They believe the breakthrough could lead to a...http://www.newser.com/story/63814/synthetic-sperm-grown-from-stem-cells.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagWed, 08 Jul 2009 1:52:27 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/62844/stem-cell-researchers-can-pay-women-for-eggs-ny.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagCounter to prevailing policies and scientific guidelines, New York has become the first state to allow publicly funded embryonic stem-cell researchers to pay women for their eggs. It lifts a huge obstacle for research, proponents say, likening it to eggs donated for in-vitro fertilization. But the $10,000 could be...http://www.newser.com/story/62844/stem-cell-researchers-can-pay-women-for-eggs-ny.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 25 Jun 2009 14:27:02 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/60455/safer-stem-cells-bring-real-life-treatments-closer.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagIn a development that brings practical applications of manufactured stem cells closer than ever, scientists have created stem-like cells using human skin cells, Reuters reports. "After a few more flight tests—in order to assure everything is working properly—it should be ready for commercial use," a researcher said of...http://www.newser.com/story/60455/safer-stem-cells-bring-real-life-treatments-closer.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 29 May 2009 11:34:19 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 CDT
