• Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

May 31st

• "How Stem Cells Work": Inside an embryo no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence are dozens of stem cells. Initially, these cells are blank slates, meaning that their fate is undecided. But they have great potential. Stem cells are pluripotent, which means that they can develop into every cell, every tissue and every organ in the human body.

• FACTBOX: Embryonic stem cells, the ultimate master cell | Science | Reuters: * Stem cells are the body's master cells, the source of all cells and tissue, like brain, blood, heart, bones and muscles. * Embryonic stem cells come from days-old embryos and can produce any type of cell in the body. * Scientists harvest embryonic stem cells from embryos left over after in vitro fertilization attempts or use cloning technology. * Researchers have discovered how to make embryonic-like cells from ordinary cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells. * Scientists hope to harness the transformation al qualities of stem cells to treat a variety of diseases, including brain cells for Parkinson' ;s disease, pancreatic cells for diabetes and nerve cells for spinal-cord injuries. * Britain, Belgium, Sweden, Canada and New Zealand actively encourage embryonic stem-cell research. Austria, Lithuania and Poland have laws banning research into human embryonic stem-cell research.

Human Induced Plurtipotent Stem Cells Reprogrammed Into Germ Cell Precursors ScienceDaily (Jan. 28, 2009) ? For the first time, UCLA researchers have reprogrammed human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into the cells that eventually become eggs and sperm, possibly opening the door for new treatments for infertility using patient-specif ic cells.

• lifeissues.net | Framing the Debates on Human Cloning and Human ...: The article claims itself to be "radicall y realistic" ; in the tag line. The article makes a distinction between pluripotent and totipotent stem cells. Since most cells are totipotent, they can produce human cells, tissues, and organs for research and reproductive purposes. The article then explains the evidence for most totipotent cells is that twins form within 14 days. Also, the article notes that public outrage surround the Big Embryo Experiment, which refers to the entire field of stem cell research. The article then delves further into the controversy and contradictions surrounding stem cell research.
