...their living room. Like their spotless carpet and the shiny flat-screen TV, the couple possess a pristine appearance in “The Pain and the Itch,” which runs until April 4th at the Boston Center for the Arts. But as Clay and Kelly (Joe Lanza and Aimee Doherty) tell their guest (Cedric Lilly) the story of a strange Thanksgiving that begins and ends with the mysterious bites in their avocados, it becomes apparent that there is not just one monster and not just one painful itch in their outwardly perfect lives. While the play?...
...have demonstrated, for the first time, that human embryonic stem cells can be generated without interfering with the embryo's potential for life." --ROBERT LANZA, leader of a team that has developed a method to harvest and grow human embryonic stem cells without destroying the embryos. Scientists and politicians say questions about viability and ethics remain...
...first time that scientists have successfully created human stem cell lines from a single cell of an eight-cell embryo (ACT did the same thing with mouse stem cells last year.) "Many people, including the President, are concerned about destroying life in order to save life," leader researcher Robert Lanza told TIME." This paper now describes a technique to generate stem cells without harming the embryo, and thus without destroying potential life. We are hoping that his solves the impasse, and removes the last rational reason to oppose this work...
...would be removed before the cell is fused with the egg. That would ensure that the embryo lives only long enough to produce stem cells and then dies. That strategy, promoted by Dr. William Hurlbut, a member of the President's Council on Bioethics, has its critics. Dr. Robert Lanza of biotech firm Advanced Cell Technology considers it unethical to deliberately create a crippled human embryo "not for a scientific or medical reason, but purely to address a religious issue." The most exciting new possibility doesn't go near embryos at all. Dr. Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University reported tantalizing...
...close to filing for permission to conduct the first human trials relying on ESC-based therapy. It is using stem cells to create oligodendroglial progenitor cells, which produce neurons and provide myelin insulation for the long fingers that extend out from the body of a nerve cell. Lanza's group is also close to filing for FDA permission to begin clinical trials on three cell-based therapies: one for macular degeneration, one for repairing heart muscle and another for regenerating damaged skin. Not to to be outdone, the academic groups are just a few steps behind. Lorenz Studer at Memorial...
