...resounding yes, as evidenced by two groundbreaking papers published on Tuesday. In the journal Cell, Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University reports success in turning back the clock on cheek cells from a middle-aged woman, while James Thomson of University of Wisconsin, the first to isolate human embryonic stem cells, achieved the same feat with foreskin cells from a newborn baby. The achievements completely reset the 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...
...have the high profile that allows them this option. Though they may embarrass themselves or others on a global scale, they have no similar means of saving face. Perhaps Solove’s book, which above all else advocates caution when posting information on the Internet, can help stem the damning tide of information by showing just how permanent such harm...
...procedure takes about a week, including the time needed to fly the blood to TheraVitae's laboratories in Israel. There, a small number of natural cells are exposed to conditions that normally occur inside the human body. The process causes the stem cells to multiply and differentiate into cells that restore damaged heart tissue. The final product, called VesCell, is then injected into the patient's heart, where it appears to trigger the body's natural healing mechanisms, helping the heart tissue recover some of its function...
...actually know the basis of the science," Fulga cheerfully admits, but his research team knows it is on to something. Soon it plans to reveal other discoveries made during its research that Fulga believes will open the way for the use of stem-cell therapy in more areas...
...over a new European Constitution and by the collapse of the Growth and Stability Pact, which imposed rigid discipline--overly rigid, critics say--on governments to curb deficits. Europeans are concerned about the impact of the falling dollar on their exports, but they have yet to take action to stem the tide. "Be patient with Europe," pleaded Blanque. After all, he said, economic-reform efforts in France, Germany and elsewhere are under way, but they will take time to yield tangible results...
