Advances in molecular genetics and recombinant DNA technology have ushered in a new era in medical therapeutic research. New insights into the molecular basis of human disease and the role played by biological regulatory mechanisms have precipitated
I'm just going to come out and say it. In the future, there will be children with 2 biological fathers, or 2 biological mothers, or....now get this ... only 1 biological parent.
Without going into technical detail, researchers have found a way to change certain types of human cells into other types of cells. So they can change skin cells into heart muscle cells, or skin cells into sperm cells, or egg cells.
For example, Mr Scientist takes some of your skin cells. Quite easy and not painful, he just scrapes some skin into a container. In his laboratory, through the application of special techniques of cell manipulation, changes your skin cells into sperm cells. OK, but what if you're a woman? Hey, no problem! Your skin cells can be turned into sperm cells. And if you're a dude? No worries

From the NY Times:Two teams of scientists reported yesterday that they had turned human skin cells into what appear to be embryonic stem cells without having to make or destroy an embryo — a feat that could quell the ethical debate troubling the field. All they had to do, the scientists said, was add four genes. The genes reprogrammed the chromosomes of the skin cells, making the cells into blank slates that should be able to turn into any of the 220 cell types of the human body, be it heart, brain, blood or bone. Until now, the only way to get such human universal cells was to pluck them from a human embryo several days after fertilization, destroying the embryo in the process. The need to destroy embryos has made stem cell research one of the most divisive issues in American politics, pitting President Bush against prominent Republicans like Nancy Reagan, and patient advocates who hoped that stem cells could cure diseases like Alzheimer’s. The new studies could defuse the issue
Yesterday, I was chastised by a lib for being a against the the government's funding of stem cell research. Now I'm quite sure his illogical rant was inspired by his Bush Derangement Syndrome. You know he blames Bush for just about everything and especially for those who have died from any form of cancer, Alzheimer's ALS etc. He is convinced that Bush has caused these people to die by rejecting the federal government's funding of embryonic stem cell research. Without even getting into the legitimate moral and ethical debate that has surrounded embryonic stem cell research, this man's proposition that the government's funding of such research would save and improve lives is totally absurd.No doubt there is incredible potential to alleviate diseases and to push unprecedented medical advances via stem cell research. It is thus understandable that so many are so eager to empower the government to fund it. Nevertheless history is is not so kind to government intervention in science an
By Antony WiltonOf the many women who wish to alter the shape or size of their breasts, a lot will find the un natural shape of silicone or saline implants unattractive. Thankfully, it appears that breast enhancement research scientists have found a way in which women can in fact grow their own new breast tissue.This new breast enhancement research indicates that, perhaps within 10 years, tissue grown from ones own stem cells may provide what could be considered as a viable alternative to surgery for breast enhancement.In a complicated procedure discovered by Japanese researchers, a system was devised to develop stem cells into tissue similar to the fat tissue in breasts, by creating similar conditions to those that set off this process naturally in the body. Researchers then injected the fat tissue into mice, and noticed that after three to four weeks, tissue which was implanted had retained both its shape and size. This caused the scientists to consider that the same process may be u

From the Secular Coalition for America:Urge President Bush to sign stem cell billThe U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (S.5) this week. It may seem that we’ve already had numerous votes, but this one asks the House to accept the slightly changed Senate version. (It adds a statement that the National Institutes of Health can also continue doing research which is currently allowed. This would obviously be the case even if that language were not added.)Unfortunately, despite the changes brought about by last year’s election and the bipartisan support this bill is receiving, it looks extremely unlikely that we will get a veto-proof majority on this issue in the House, so we are now shifting our focus to the President. We hope that every American who cares about the ability of the NIH to use the best materials possible in their research will ask President Bush not to veto the bill.We recognize that the chances of changing the President

In a slap on the face of the American public, President Bush promises the veto of a Senate stem cell research bill that would benefit the lives of millions of Americans.
“The legislation, which passed 63 to 34, attracted near-unanimous support from Democrats and 17 Republicans, many of whom spoke over the last two days on the Senate floor in often emotional terms about the hope offered by the bill for eventual cures to a variety of debilitating diseases.”[The New York Times]
The Senate bill will not have enough votes to over ride the president’s veto.
These stem cells have already lost their potential to be a complete human life. Instead of thinking about their non-existent future, we should start thinking about the children who will be born in the future, and over their lifetime will develop Diabetes, Alzheimers, or be paralyzed in an accident. We could try to find cures for those diseases, and change people’s lives who need help right now or in

Stem cell research has been a hot topic for quite a long time, but it has now become the center of attention as Democrats, who took both chambers of Congress for the first time in twelve years, have pledged to increase federal support for stem cell research. The House of Representatives passed a bill that would reduce restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.Besides favorable public opinion, local and state governments appear to be jumping on the stem cell bandwagon and will be pushing in my more money in the research.So what is a stem cell ??A stem cell is a generic cell that can make exact copies of itself indefinitely. It is also a precursor cell that has the ability to make specialized cells for various tissues in the body (such as heart muscle, brain tissue and liver tissue). Stem cell research is expected to impact advances in curing diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, spinal cord injury, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, an
Cambridge scientists have discovered the stage at which some of the cells of a fertilised mammalian egg are fated to develop into stem cells and why this occurs. The findings of the study, which overturn the long-held belief that cells are the same until the fourth cleavage (division) of the embryo, are reported in today's edition of Nature.
After fertilisation, the cells of the embryo at first undergo equal, symmetrical divisions and unequal, asymmetrical ones that direct smaller daughter cells towards the inside of the embryo. These become the inner cell mass of stem cells. Previously, it was believed that the mammalian embryo starts its development with identical cells and only as these inside and outside cells form do differences between cells first emerge.
However, research led by Professor Magdelena Zernicka-Goetz (homepage), University of Cambridge, has revealed evidence to suggest that differences between the embryonic cells are already apparent at the 4-cell-stage.

It's too bad this news didn't come out of Michigan State University, my alma matter. Oh, well - in a perfect world...The University of Michigan is creating a new stem cell research center in Ann Arbor around one of the controversial science's rising stars. With $10.5 million in university funding announced Monday, center Director Sean Morrison will recruit seven more researchers over the next four years to join him in work he started at U-M in 1999. Based at U-M's 2-year-old Life Sciences Institute, the program will combine the resources of the university's medical school and Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute as well as aspects of engineering and other programs. The move also represents a high-profile effort to retain key faculty. It comes on the heels of the university setting aside $4.5 million this summer from a 12.3 percent tuition increase specifically to stem a tide of faculty defections to universities that have offered more money for staff, research and pay.
The House vote on HR 3 was 253 to 174, meaning that the DeGette-Castle bill to expand stem cell research passed. The bad news is that the margin was not enough to override a veto. For more information and to see what you can do, visit the Secular Coalition for America and DefCon.
