But the methods used to reprogram cells can damage their DNA, and the iPS cells may not behave in exactly the same way as embryonic stem cells.

The act of reprogramming cells to make them as capable as ones from embryos apparently can result in aberrant cells that age and die abnormally, suggesting there is a long way to go to prove such cells are really like embryonic stem cells and can find use in therapies.

In this way they act like embryonic stem cells and share their revolutionary therapeutic potential — and as such, they could eliminate the need for using and then destroying human embryos.

In 2004 they devised a way to coax embryonic stem cells to turn into transplantable RPE tissue.

In an advance touted as a way around current political logjams, scientists have said they can derive human embryonic stem (ES) cell lines without destroying an embryo.

On the other hand, the problem is, you know, with embryonic stem cells, they haven't been able to get stem cell lines from livestock animals that can proliferate in that way, without just sort of veering up in their own direction and turning into, instead of muscle, turning into brain tissue or bone tissue or something else.

In the past few months, researchers in the United States and Japan have described a promising way of deriving embryonic stem cells from skin cells (of mice) without destroying embryos — the «Holy Grail of biotechnology,» as The Times of London put iIn the past few months, researchers in the United States and Japan have described a promising way of deriving embryonic stem cells from skin cells (of mice) without destroying embryos — the «Holy Grail of biotechnology,» as The Times of London put iin the United States and Japan have described a promising way of deriving embryonic stem cells from skin cells (of mice) without destroying embryos — the «Holy Grail of biotechnology,» as The Times of London put it.

In 2008 a group of medical researchers led by Robert Lanza at Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Massachusetts, reported another leap: They discovered a way to avoid destroying the embryo by deriving an entire stem cell line from a single embryonic celIn 2008 a group of medical researchers led by Robert Lanza at Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Massachusetts, reported another leap: They discovered a way to avoid destroying the embryo by deriving an entire stem cell line from a single embryonic cCell Technology in Worcester, Massachusetts, reported another leap: They discovered a way to avoid destroying the embryo by deriving an entire stem cell line from a single embryonic celin Worcester, Massachusetts, reported another leap: They discovered a way to avoid destroying the embryo by deriving an entire stem cell line from a single embryonic ccell line from a single embryonic cellcell.

Because biologists like Daley are convinced that embryonic stem cells — the most generic, versatile type — may not only lead to dramatically different new treatments but can also uniquely illuminate the origins of disease in a way adult stem cells never will.

They view this as a test run for creating human embryonic stem cells in the same way (and according to the team, South Korean biologist Hwang Woo Suk seems to have accidentally accomplished this feat while executing his famously fraudulent human cloning experiment).

The ethics council finally issued its 20 - page report just before Christmas, voting in favor of allowing the import of human embryonic stem cells, under certain conditions, by a small majority of 15 to 9, paving the way for next week's final showdown.

The result — the second such finding in the past year — suggests that similar cells from human testicles might have similar powers, paving the way to creating replacement tissue for men who have suffered damage from heart attacks or other injuries and avoiding some of the controversy surrounding embryonic stem cells (ESC).

Twenty percent of the cells cloned in this way grew into early embryos, called blastocysts, and 5 percent of them yielded embryonic stem cells, which is comparable with results obtained from unfertilized eggs.

When current methods for generating naïve stem cells in the lab were judged using the three tests, each fell short of mimicking the naïve embryonic cells in different ways.

For these cells to be as useful as embryonic stem cells, «we have to find a way to avoid retroviruses before application in cell therapy», Yamanaka says, as they could result in tumours.

But of course, posed this way the question does not distinguish between stem cells obtained in different ways (and indeed it is sensible to assume that those who expressed opposition in response to this question believed they were being asked about embryonic stem cells, although the survey does not allow us to know that with confidence).

To appreciate the difference, consider that the old way involves introducing DNA into mouse embryonic stem cells, and then selecting for the rare cells that take up and incorporate the DNA in the right way.

And in a way, this is not very radical because that's what Bush said in August of 2001 when he became the first president to authorize federal funds for embryonic stem cell research.

Reprogramming adult cells to function like embryonic stem cells is one way researchers hope to create patient - specific cell lines to regenerate tissue or to study specific diseases in the laboratory.

This approach to derive patient - specific Embryonic Stem cell - like cells (iPS cells) is going to open up research into the genetic causes of disease and the search for therapies not only for such diseases, but also for repairing tissues damaged in other ways.

Instead, they were searching for ways to make embryonic stem cells, a type of cell that can turn into any cell type in the body.

In recent years, researchers have tried to find ways to obtain embryonic stem cells without destroying the embryos.

«Having a very efficient and practical way of generating patient - specific stem cells, which unlike human embryonic stem cells, wouldn't be rejected by the patient's immune system after transplantation brings us a step closer to the clinical application of stem cell therapy,» says Belmonte, PhD., a professor in the Gene Expression Laboratory and director of the Center of Regenerative Medicine in Barcelona, Spain.

Although these cells meet the defining criteria for pluripotent stem cells, it is not known if iPSCs and embryonic stem cells differ in clinically significant ways.

* The role of the US in global efforts to address pollutants that are broadly dispersed across national borders, such as greenhouse gasses, persistent organic pollutants, ozone, etc...; * How they view a president's ability to influence national science policy in a way that will persist beyond their term (s), as would be necessary for example to address global climate change or enhancement of science education nationwide; * Their perspective on the relative roles that scientific knowledge, ethics, economics, and faith should play in resolving debates over embryonic stem cell research, evolution education, human population growth, etc... * What specific steps they would take to prevent the introduction of political or economic bias in the dissemination and use of scientific knowledge; * (and many more...)
