Human Embryonic Stem Cells Derived by Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer

Reprogramming somatic cells into pluripotent em- bryonic stem cells (ESCs) by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been envisioned as an approach for generating patient-matched nuclear transfer (NT)- ESCs for studies of disease mechanisms and for developing specific therapies. Past attempts to pro- duce human NT-ESCs have failed secondary to early embryonic arrest of SCNT…

The therapeutic potential of stem cells

In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in stem cells, not just within the scientific and medical communities but also among politicians, religious groups and ethicists. Here, we summarize the different types of stem cells that have been described: their origins in embryonic and adult tissues and their differentiation potential in vivo…

Political Science: How Stem Cells Became Hurdle For GOP Campaign — Issue Crosses Over Party Lines

WASHINGTON — Three years ago, President Bush used his first televised presidential address to put the emotional issue of embryonic stem-cell research behind him. He unveiled a compromise: The federal government would, for the first time, provide funding for the research, but wouldn’t pay for work that required new embryos to be destroyed. Scientists and…

Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells into Embryoid Bodies Comprising the Three Embryonic Germ Layers

Background: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are lines of cells that are isolated from blastocysts. The murine ES cells were demonstrated to be true pluripotent cells as they differentiate into all embryonic lineages. Yet, in vitro differentiation of rhesus ES cells was somewhat inconsistent and disorganized. The recent isolation of human ES cells calls for exploring…
