...create stem cells. That's the technique that South Korean scientists claimed they had used to create nearly a dozen stem cell lines from diseased patients before admitting earlier this year that their results had been fabricated. HSCI will recruit donors first from the Boston area, Dr. Kevin Eggan, one of the lead investigators, told reporters. Although egg donors to IVF clinics are paid, HSCI decided not to compensate donors for the stem cell studies, to be sure that the women did not feel pressured to participate in the research for financial reasons (they will be reimbursed for expenses directly...
...avoiding the moral pitfalls of past embryonic stem cell research.Scientists within the Harvard community said that while the research is interesting, it points to a trend of focusing on finding ways to avoid moral issues in stem cell research, rather than researching clinical applications to help cure disease.Kevin C. Eggan, assistant professor of molecular and cellular biology and member of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, said that although the research done by MIT scientists is a “technical masterpiece,” it still does not address the moral question surrounding embryonic stem cell research...
Brownback’s keynote address was preceded by a debate between two scientists involved in cellular biology; Dr. Kevin C. Eggan, a junior fellow in Harvard’s Society of Fellows, and Dr. David A. Prentice of Indiana State University and the Family Research Council...
...Eggan spoke of the need to continue human embryonic stem cell research. He said adult stem cells have more limited research potential because unlike embryonic stem cells, they are unable to form every cell in the human body. He said that the possible benefit to the millions of people afflicted with diseases like diabetes and Parkinson’s outweighed the limited ethical concerns involved...
...forefront of stem cell research through the newly founded Harvard Stem Cell Institute. In January, University Provost Steven E. Hyman approved cloning human cells to generate stem cells as part of research conducted by Cabot Professor of Natural Sciences Douglas A. Milton and Harvard Biologist Kevin C. Eggan...
