Leaving their soil microbes and frozen mice ears behind for a day, a dozen Harvard scientists headed for Washington D.C. yesterday to lobby Congress on the behalf of biomedical researchers across the nation...
...Giersch said she has been waiting for NIH funding for two years while the inner ears of the mice she already dissected remain unused in her freezer. Giersch just submitted another grant application last week...
...study Researchers at the biotech firm Novocell report the first successful use of human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) in treating a disease--diabetes--in mice. After generating HESCs from excess fertility-clinic embryos, the scientists cultured the cells for 12 days in a medium that directed them to become pancreatic cells. These were transplanted into mice whose own pancreatic cells had been deliberately destroyed, making them insulin-deficient. Within 45 days, new cells began producing fresh insulin...
What this means for us It's just a first step. In humans with Type 1 diabetes, the body destroys pancreatic cells, so the stem cells might be attacked the same way. The HESCs also produced tumors in the mice, making the method too dangerous...
