In human cloning first, scientists create stem cells from adultsThe ProvinceLONDON — Human cloning has been used to create stem cells from adults for the first time, in a breakthrough which could lead to tissue and organs being regrown. Using the cloning technique that produced Dolly the sheep in 1996, researchers were able … …read … Continue reading
Researchers Clone Cells From Two Adult MenTIMEIn this case, cells from a 35-year-old man and a 75-year-old man were used to generate two separate lines of stem cells. The process, known as nuclear transfer, involves taking the DNA from a donor and inserting it into an egg that has been stripped of … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
In a cloning first, scientists create stem cells from adultsYahoo NewsNEW YORK (Reuters) – Scientists have moved a step closer to the goal of creating stem cells perfectly matched to a patient’s DNA in order to treat diseases, they announced on Thursday, creating patient-specific cell lines out of the skin cells of two … …read … Continue reading
Ars TechnicaSeveral years ago, as the therapeutic potential of stem cells was first being recognized, the only way to create them was to harvest cells from an early embryo. That embryo could come from the large collection of those that weren’t used during in vitro … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
Medical DailyThe study, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, sits as part of a shifting scientific paradigm where stem cells are no longer used to pursue reproductive cloning, but “therapeutic cloning.” Under this new model, formally known as somatic-cell … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
Science CodexNew Rochelle, NY, April 17, 2014—The development of stem cell therapies to cure a variety of diseases depends on the ability to characterize stem cell populations based on cell surface markers. Researchers from the Finnish Red Cross have discovered a … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
Pioneers in Regenerative Therapy to Discuss New Trends in Stem Cell MedicineBusiness Wire (press release)WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research that resulted in the first stem cells that are pluripotent—those that have the potential to differentiate into almost any cell in the body—will be the backdrop for a discussion about trends in regulation in the … and more …read … Continue reading
Adult Human Stem Cells Cloned for the First TimeMonthly Prescribing ReferenceFor the first time, researchers have successfully cloned cells from adult humans using somatic cell nuclear transfer.
