New stem cell approach reported
27492
Scientists say they have created a stem cell line from a human embryo that had stopped developing naturally, and so was considered dead. Using such embryos might ease ethical concerns about creating such cells, they suggested.

An advance in stem cell research that was intended to resolve moral differences over the promising but controversial field has ignited fresh conflict instead.

Stem cells from human eyes can generate various cell types required for sight, a finding that marks an important step towards regenerative treatments for eye diseases.
107593
In a leap forward for stem cell research, three independent teams of scientists reported Wednesday that they have produced the equivalent of embryonic stem cells in mice without the controversial destruction of embryos.

The prospect of using human embryonic stem cells to treat disease appears a small step closer as the result of two new experiments with the cells, which are mired in political controversy because they are derived from human embryos.

Stem cells taken from muscle tissue can be used to build new blood vessels for transplants, researchers reported on Friday.

Science & environment: Hopes boosted by experiments showing that human embryonic stem cells could be turned into a variety of brain cells
642094
A procedure that encourages an egg to begin embryo development without being fertilized could suggest a new way to produce stem cells, at least for certain patients.

Researchers reported Thursday that they had cultivated a colony of human embryonic stem cells from an apparently dead embryo, a strategy some have suggested might be less controversial than conventional approaches that require the destruction of living embryos.

If a technique used in mice can be adapted to human cells, it would let scientists use a patientâs skin cells to generate new heart, liver or kidney cells.

Scientists have discovered a new type of embryonic stem cell in mice and rats that should speed up research into regenerative medicine and help in the hunt for cures to a range of diseases.
478769
A US team say it has created embryos that are clones of two men - a step towards patient-specific stem cells.
147784
A new approach for producing embryonic stem cells faces considerable hurdles, executives from stem cell companies said.
