Adult Stem Cells Reprogammed In Their Natural EnvironmentIn recent years, stem cell researchers have become very adept at manipulating the fate of adult stem cells cultured in the lab. Now, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies achieved the same feat with adult neural stem cells still in place in the brain. They successfully coaxed mouse brain stem cells bound to join the neuronal network to differentiate into support cells instead.454 Sequencing At The Forefront Of Bone Marrow And Stem Cell Therapy ResearchThe Blood Centre Linz, Austria has purchased a Genome Sequencer FLX System from Roche, for use in research on rejection reactions in Bone Marrow and Stem Cell transplantation. Using conventional Sanger sequencing it can take weeks to analyse large DNA regions. The Genome Sequencer FLX System can achieve this task within hours, improving efficiency and reducing costs.Stem Cell Research To Be The Focus Of Town Hall Meeting At UCSBTop scientists will present the current the state of research on stem cells at a UC Santa Barbara-sponsored town hall meeting July 18 from 2-4 p.m. in the Hatlen Theater. The goal of the meeting, which is free and open to the public, is to raise public awareness about stem cell research in the Santa Barbara community. "Recent Advances in Stem Cell Research - Science and Medical Therapies on the Horizon" will feature Congresswoman Lois Capps; Dennis O.How An Injured Embryo Can Regenerate Itself Discovered By Weizmann Institute ScientistsMore than 80 years have passed since the German scientist Hans Spemann conducted his famous experiment that laid the foundations for the field of embryonic development. After dividing a salamander embryo in half, Spemann noticed that one half - specifically, the half that gives rise to the salamander's 'belly' (ventral) starts to wither away.Stanford Researchers Get $5.6 Million Stem Cell GrantsStanford University School of Medicine researchers received approximately $5.6 million on June 27 from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine in awards designed to support the creation of new pluripotent human stem cell lines. All four of Stanford's applicants were funded. The researchers received multiyear grants of about $1.4 million each as part of CIRM's newest round of awards. The awards support two types of research.Ronin An Alternate Control For Embryonic Stem CellsLike the masterless samurai for whom it is named, the protein Ronin chooses an independent path, maintaining embryonic stem cells in their undifferentiated state and playing essential roles in genesis of embryos and their development, said Baylor College of Medicine researchers who reported on this novel cellular regulator in the current issue of the journal Cell.Osiris Therapeutics Announces 2 Million Dollars Milestone Payment For Clinical Progress Of A Stem Cell Therapy For Type 1 DiabetesOsiris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIR) announced that it has achieved $2 million in milestone payments from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) for progress made on a Phase II clinical trial evaluating Prochymal, a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy, for patients recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The payments were triggered when Osiris accomplished certain clinical and regulatory milestones including initiating patient treatments.New Book Debates The Moral Status Of The Human Embryo With Special Regard To Stem Cell Research And TherapyStem cell research and the potential use of human embryonic stem cells in clinical therapy is a controversial issue which splits both scientific and public opinion. The current conflict over embryonic stem cells throughout the world deals particularly with the ethical implications of this promising, but delicate subject and the scientific manipulation of human life in its early stages of development.Adult Stem Cell Therapy For Erectile DysfunctionORLANDO, FL (UroToday.com) - Dr. Tom Lue discussed autologous stem cell use for ED. He discussed that ability for the planarian species to regenerate any part of its body, but the salamander can only regenerate a limb. In man there are also stem cells, which are undifferentiated cells that have potential to also regenerate. In adipose tissue there are stem cells as demonstrated by immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blotting experiments.Ohio Antiabortion Advocates Voice Opposition To Veto Of Stem Cell FundingAntiabortion advocates responded with "swift and loud" opposition to Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland's (D) line-item veto of a provision that would have prohibited $100 million in state biomedical funds from being used for research that involves human cloning, the AP/Akron Beacon Journal reports. Strickland recently signed a $1.57 billion economic stimulus package (Nerve Cells Derived From Stem Cells And Transplanted Into Mice May Lead To Improved Brain TreatmentsScientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have, for the first time, genetically programmed embryonic stem (ES) cells to become nerve cells when transplanted into the brain, according to a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience.
