News About Cloning Technology 22-JUL-08 en-us Boston MA (SPX) May 27, 2008 - How does a stem cell decide what specialized identity to adopt - or simply to remain a stem cell? A new study suggests that the conventional view, which assumes that cells are "instructed" to progress along prescribed signaling pathways, is too simplistic.]]> ]]> Washington (AFP) May 21, 2008 - A US biotech company on Wednesday announced it will auction off the right for five dog owners to have their furry best friend cloned, with bidding starting at 100,000 dollars. ]]> New York (UPI) Mar 17, 2008 - U.S. drug companies are making significant progress behind the scenes in harvesting the potential uses of adult stem cells and preparing to market them.]]> Pochon, South Korea (UPI) Jan 29, 2008 - South Korean and Canadian studies suggested stroke victims might benefit from transplantation of human mesenchymal or bone marrow stem cells.]]> ]]> La Jolla, Calif. (UPI) Jan 17, 2008 - A U.S. laboratory said it is the first to create and document a cloned human embryo using somatic cell nuclear transfer.]]> Worcester, Mass. (UPI) Jan 10, 2008 - U.S. researchers said they've found a way to create human embryonic stem cells without destroying the embryo.]]> New York (UPI) Dec 21, 2007 - Researchers at three U.S. medical centers are testing a cancer drug under the theory that some cancers are fed by cancerous stem cells.]]> ]]> New York NY (SPX) Nov 12, 2007 - The world community quickly needs to reach a compromise that outlaws reproductive cloning or prepare to protect the rights of cloned individuals from potential abuse, prejudice and discrimination, according to authors of a new policy analysis by the United Nations University's Institute of Advanced Studies.]]> Union Town PA (SPX) Oct 15, 2007 - Biophysicists at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered that the nuclei of human stem cells are particularly soft and flexible, rather than hard, making it easier for stem cells to migrate through the body and to adopt different shapes, but ultimately to put human genes in the correct nuclear ˇsectorˇ+/- for proper access and expression. Researchers pulled cell nuclei into microscopic glass tubes under controlled pressures and visualized the shear of the DNA and associated proteins by fluorescence microscopy.]]> Washington (AFP) Oct 4, 2007 - Hillary Clinton Thursday accused President George W. Bush of waging a 'war on science' in a preview of a looming 2008 election battle over stem cell research, global warming and energy.]]> ]]> ]]> Boston MA (SPX) Aug 08, 2007 - A report from researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute sheds new light on a now-discredited Korean embryonic stem cell line, setting the historical record straight and also establishing a much-needed set of standards for characterizing human embryonic stem cells. The report was published online August 2 by the journal Cell Stem Cell.]]> West Palm Beach FL (UPI) Jul 06, 2007 - Doctors have succeeded in growing new blood vessels from a person's own bone marrow cells, but researchers said Friday they are still some years away from being able to use these test-tube grown vessels to replace diseased arteries. "Our studies show that bone marrow is an excellent source of stem cells that can be coaxed into creating blood vessels," Stelios Andreadis, associate professor in the University at Buffalo department of chemical and biological engineering, told United Press International.]]> Toronto, Canada (SPX) Jun 15, 2007 - Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have successfully isolated and cultured human hematopoietic stem cells from fat, or adipose, tissue, suggesting that they have found another important source of cells for reconstituting the bone marrow of patients undergoing intensive radiation therapy for blood cancers.]]> Advertise in this newsletter or website click for advertising kit - PDF File
