...work is "a major leap" in reprogramming cells from one kind to another, said one expert not involved in the research, John Gearhart of the University of Pennsylvania...
...first step results in a primitive and highly versatile cell. This intermediary is then guided to mature into whatever cell type scientists want. That guiding process has proven difficult to do efficiently, especially for creating insulin-producing cells, Gearhart noted...
...boundaries of the stem cell debate, because both groups generated cells that looked and acted like embryonic stem cells, but without the need for eggs, embryos or ethical quandaries about where the cells came from. "I think this is the future of stem cell research," says Dr. John Gearhart, the biologist who first discovered human fetal embryonic stem cells. "It's absolutely terrific...
...GEARHART -- Houston...
...foreign countries are investing in stem-cell science, the research will ultimately get done. But, says Gearhart, "the U.S. is the 800-pound gorilla when it comes to resources for science. If we continue to limit funding, things will proceed much more slowly." Also, foreign governments and companies can patent their stem-cell lines and charge plenty for licensing them...
