Getting It Right on Stem Cells

This fall funding for embryonic stem cell research once again faces uncertainty. Where do the embryos used for stem cell lines come from? All stem cell lines come from discarded IVF embryos. M. William Lensch, a scientist at the Harvard Stem Cell ...
Scientists reported Thursday they had developed a technique that can quickly create safe alternatives to human embryonic stem cells, a major advance toward developing a less controversial approach for treating for a host of medical problems. The work, by a team led ...
US researchers have found a new, "remarkably efficient" way to generate human stem cells that could provide an alternative to using embryonic stem cells in treating disease, a study published Thursday said.The new method does not require risky genetic modification and ...

What Is a Heart Stem Cell?

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells, called progenitors, which can reproduce endlessly and create a variety of specialized cells. A heart stem cell is a progenitor cell which has the ability to become heart tissue.Early research in heart stem cell therapy relied ...
