News About Stem Cells 15-MAY-08 en-us Washington (UPI) Nov 09, 2006 - Stem cell issues emerged as an important platform during the midterm elections, and despite some moral concerns the new Congressional leadership is poised to bring the issue to the table. Presumptive Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has already listed funding for stem cell research as one of the top priorities of the new House.]]> ]]> Washington (UPI) Jan 05, 2006 - While President Bush recently signed a bill authorizing increased funding for cord blood-based stem cell research, biotechnology industry officials say the technology is still no substitute for embryonic stem research, which they argue is the most viable route to curing serious diseases through genetic science.]]> Charlottesville VA (SPX) Nov 24, 2005 - For years it was believed that adult stem cells, under conditions of reduced oxygen - such as that found in victims of a heart attack or stroke - acted as building blocks by constructing new passageways for blood to bypass damaged tissue.]]> London (UPI) Nov 16, 2005 - Imperial College London scientists report they have converted human embryonic stem cells into cartilage cells. Cartilage is the dense connective tissue usually found between bones to allow the smooth movement of joints.]]> ]]> Bad Nauheim, Germany (SPX) Nov 02, 2005 - For a fairly long time, adult stem cells have been a point of scientific interest. Besides the question of how to use them therapeutically, researchers have been investigating what exactly their physiological function could be.]]> Washington (UPI) Oct 28, 2005 - Scientists said Friday they have for the first time turned embryonic stem cells in the lab into a type of cell that can give rise to several internal organs, including the pancreas, liver and lungs.]]> Washington (UPI) Oct 19, 2005 - Opponents of embryonic stem-cell research have been emboldened by recent experiments in which scientists succeeded in extracting the cells without destroying the embryos containing them.]]> ]]> Washington DC (UPI) Oct 19, 2005 - A multi-national partnership led by South Korean researchers soon may be cloning human cells to generate embryonic stem cells for research intended to lead to insights into various disorders.]]> Washington (UPI) Oct 16, 2005 - Two teams of scientists said Sunday they each had devised a unique method to obtain embryonic stem cells without destroying a viable embryo.]]> Washington (UPI) Oct 08, 2005 - Researchers said Saturday they have used stem cells collected from the amniotic fluid surrounding fetal lambs to grow windpipes, and then implanted the tissue back into the fetuses while they were still in the womb - a breakthrough that could lead to ways to repair congenital defects before birth.]]> SOLAR  ENERGY  SOLUTIONS

The discovery may bode well for the use of these neural stem cells to regenerate brain tissue lost to injury or disease.]]> Baltimore MD (SPX) Sep 07, 2005 - An international team of researchers has discovered that human embryonic stem cell lines accumulate changes in their genetic material over time.]]> Edinburgh, England (UPI) Aug 16, 2005 - Scientists at the Universities of Edinburgh and Milan reportedly made the world's first pure nerve stem cells from human embryonic stem cells.]]> Advertise in Terra Daily and reach thousands of industry, government and science readers the world over.
