Stem Cells From Unfertilized Eggs
Stem cell research is advancing and soon we may be able to create human stem cells from unfertilized eggs. This could allow women to use their own tissue samples for transplants and disease therapy.

HealthDay - FRIDAY, Dec. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers say they've shown
that human stem cells can be turned into cells that can kill those
infected by the virus that causes AIDS.

At the University of Connecticut Health Center, Dr. Ren-He Xu is developing what is known as induced pluripotent human stem cells, or iPS cells, which behave just like blastocyst stem cells. These are the cells that give rise to all of the specialized cell in the body.
Xu has developed four human pluripotent stem cell lines, two of which have been submitted for approval to the National Institute of Health.

Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. (OTCBB: VODG), dba Vitro Biopharma, announced the filing of a new United States patent application entitled “POU5-F1 Expression in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells” and the development of new technology related to generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). IPS technology allows the use of reprogrammed adult cells to achieve properties of embryonic stem cells including the ability to differentiate into any...

Scientists have discovered a new type of stem cell in the skin that acts surprisingly like certain stem cells found in embryos: both can generate fat, bone, cartilage, and even nerve cells. These newly-described dermal stem cells may one day prove useful for treating neurological disorders and persistent wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, says Freda Miller, an HHMI international research scholar. Miller and her colleagues first saw the cells...

New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) may help in the recovery of lost vision for patients with corneal scarring. Winston Whei-Yang Kao, PhD, professor of ophthalmology, along with other researchers in UC's ophthalmology department found that transplanting human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells into mouse models that lack the protein lumican restored the transparency of cloudy and thin corneas. Mesenchymal stem cells are "multi...

Kenneth Durden, a libertarian-conservative blogger, opines: "Reuters: 'The U.S. government has approved the first 13 batches of human embryonic stem cells, enabling researchers using them to get millions of dollars in federal funding as promised by President Barack Obama in March.' Why is the federal government spending money on this? The problem isn't just embryonic stem cells, but rather why is the government conducting 90% of the activities...
