It has been recognized in the scientific community that the
use of embryonic stem cells in research will become more and more important.
The results have been organized in an interactive, open - access database with a number of novel features and search tools to promote studies into the biological
properties of embryonic stem cells.
Advocates of embryonic stem cell research were thought to be in a long line of pioneers fighting the restraints of religious doctrine to push forward with scientific research.

stability of embryonic stem cells — an essential requirement to fulfil their promise in regenerative medicine.
In addition, Dr. Reinholdt's laboratory developed a novel protocol for derivation
of embryonic stem cell line from a variety of strains that were previously deemed recalcitrant after years of failed attempts by the scientific community.
Shortly after his inauguration, Bush ordered a review of the current National Institutes of Health (NIH) policy, which allows the
funding of embryonic stem cell studies as long as researchers receive the cells from privately funded researchers who have derived them in accord with a set of ethical guidelines (ScienceNOW, 23 August 2000).
Vowing to veto the legislation, Bush said before the vote that the «reports give us added hope that we may one day enjoy the potential benefits
of embryonic stem cells without destroying human life.»
In 2006, researchers had figured out how to create the equivalent
of embryonic stem cells from adult tissues, so - called «induced pluripotent stem cells.»
ACT, which has almost gone under several times in recent years, may now be on the verge of conducting the nation's first
trial of an embryonic stem cell therapy, says Chief Scientific Officer Robert Lanza.
A clinical trial in the Republic of Korea for patients with degenerative eye diseases is the first to test the safety
of an embryonic stem cell therapy for people of Asian descent.
While the potential of adult stem cells has been understood for some time, researchers have argued that the
pluripotency of embryonic stem cells — their ability to be transformed into most if not all of the various cell types of the body — make them more valuable both for research and potentially someday for treatment.
Cardiac differentiation
of embryonic stem cells by substrate immobilization of insulin - like growth factor binding protein 4 with elastin - like polypeptides.
Collins and others argue not just for a permanent removal of the injunction to resume research with confidence, but also for an extension of the
number of embryonic stem cell lines available to federally funded researchers.
This study provides experimental evidence which shows the important role of RNA levels in the controlling the
fate of embryonic stem cells, and shows an understanding of RNA's ability to differentiate stem cells at the molecular level.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has allowed a contract for the
dissemination of embryonic stem cell lines approved for US government funding to lapse, shuttering a key stem cell bank, and doubling the price researchers pay for samples of some human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line... from $ 500 per vial of frozen cells to $ 1,000.
It remains to be seen how much the
issue of embryonic stem cell research will play in one of the nation's most closely watched and hard - fought Senate elections.
(CNN)- The White House meant no disrespect toward Nancy Reagan when it failed to invite the former first lady and vigorous
supporter of embryonic stem cell research to a bill signing ceremony on the subject, press secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday.
The year's most prominent science issue, federal
support of embryonic stem cell research, is so controversial that the sons of Ronald Reagan gave dueling speeches at the opposing party conventions; Michael Reagan backs President George W. Bush's policies, including the ban on funding for research on new stem cell lines, while Ron supports Senator John Kerry's promise to lift restrictions.
To find those genes, Yamanaka had compared all the genes (the genome)
of an embryonic stem cell with those of an adult cell to find genes that were turned on in the ES cell but turned off in the adult cell.
Studies
of embryonic stem cells revealed that NANOG protein levels can be lowered by a chemical process known as methylation, which involves putting a methyl group chemical tag on a protein's messenger RNA (mRNA) precursor.
In the
case of embryonic stem cell research, embryos themselves were protected — not as fully as they would have been had all embryo - destructive research been forbidden, of course, but still not insignificantly.
STEM CELL HOUSE — A bill lifting restrictions on a certain
type of embryonic stem cell research cleared a House committee Monday on a party - line vote.
Nevertheless, the religious and political right has decried the
development of embryonic stem cell lines, and George W. Bush severed federal funding for their development.
By designing synthetic proteins that can only interact with a pre-determined partner, and introducing them into cells, the team revealed a key interaction that regulates the
ability of embryonic stem cells to change into other cell types.
\ n3) There are «pluripotent» stem cells which are created from skin cells and offer the potential for becoming different cells similar to the hypothetical
benefits of embryonic stem cells, but they do NOT involve any moral controversy.
