Stem Cell Research: Switch That Can Turn Stem Cells On and Off
http://stemcellnews.blogspot.com/2005/02/switch-that-can-turn-stem-cells-on-and.html
Thursday, February 24, 2005. Switch That Can Turn Stem Cells On and Off. The therapeutic promise of stem cells lies in the fact that they begin as undifferentiated cells, but can develop into any cell type in the body. One day, doctors hope to be able to harness this process to grow replacement cells for patients who've lost tissues because of injury or disease. According to Lang, this is a way for the body to prevent the depletion of stem cells. The majority of cells in the body will eventually lose the...

http://stemcellnews.blogspot.com/2005/04/grow-your-own-breast-implant-from-stem.html
Wednesday, April 06, 2005. A "Grow Your Own" Breast Implant From Stem Cells? A new technique which derived from stem cell research could soon allow women to choose breast enhancements made of living tissue rather than those made of silicone or saline. Scientists have been able to successfully grow fat cells in the laboratory for the first time. They say the breakthrough means patients could, in effect, grow their own implants.

Thursday, January 12, 2006. Wired on the State of Stem Cells Starting in 2006. Well, holidays over, and the news on the Stem Cell Front leaves something to be desired . at least public relations wise . Wired News is running a wrap up on Hwang Woo-suk's reputation. We know its basically dashed . and the hopes of millions of disabled people hover around the investigation into his alleged cloning successes. The only bright light though, On the count of failing to clone Snuppy: not guilty. Team Receives $1&#...
