...were suddenly a reality. Never mind the frustratingly fickle process needed to create embryonic stem cells; this was something any molecular-biology graduate student could do. "We figured somebody would have success with reprogramming. We just thought that somebody would come along a generation from now," says Dr. David Scadden, Melton's co-director at HSCI. "Yamanaka threw a grenade at all of that, and now all of the doors are open...
...Rather, it will simply monitor the safety of inserting them into people. The researchers will be looking for whether the cells cause tumors, trigger an immune response or start to migrate away from the spinal-cord area. "There are certainly unknowns that we can't predict," says Dr. David Scadden, co-director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. "We don't know whether or not these cells might grow abnormally in a person. We don't know if things might occur just by these cells being present that could result in an outcome we don't want. This really...
...Because Massachusetts represents a wealth of biomedical research, this is intended to grow on that and provide a more durable source of strength,” said David T. Scadden, co-director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. “This is much bigger than stem cells, and that’s a very exciting piece...
Although the Harvard Stem Cell Institute receives most of its funding from private sources, the Life Science Initiative would promote collaboration between industry and academia, as well as support the research efforts of junior faculty—two areas to which Harvard does not specifically allocate funding, according to Scadden...
...both Scadden and Reeve noted that Harvard has seen an equal number of professors moving both to and from California, and that the University’s strength in the life sciences continues to attract researchers...
