Embryonic Stem Cells . Org

Since embryonic stem cells are considered the most powerful type of stem cell, they must come from an embryo or cloning. But there are many objections to using embryonic cells and President Bush has limited funding for experiments on …

hackingbear writes “Wired, citing a paper published in Science magazine, reports that Harvard scientists may have found a safer way of giving a flake of skin the biologically alchemical powers of embryonic stem cells by turning adult cells into versatile, embryonic-like cells without causing permanent damage. The technique involves ‘adding cell-reprogramming genes to adenoviruses, a type of …

Using mice, US scientists have found a safer way to make induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) without using retroviruses which carry the risk of triggering cancer. They hope the method can be developed for human use, which would greatly increase the scope for creating non-embryonic stem cells to research and treat a wide range of serious diseases.
