Human embryonic stem cell (hESC) and human embryo research.
Human embryonic stem cell research has emerged as an important platform for the understanding and treatment of pediatric diseases. From its inception, however, it has raised ethical concerns based not on the use of stem cells themselves but on objections to the source of the cells--specifically, the destruction of preimplantation human embryos. Despite differences in public opinion on this issu...
متن کاملEmbryo stem cell research: ten years of controversy.
This overview of 10 years of stem cell controversy reviews the moral conflict that has made ESCs so controversial and how this conflict plays itself out in the legal realm, focusing on the constitutional status of efforts to ban ESC research or ESC-derived therapies. It provides a history of the federal funding debate from the Carter to the Obama administrations, and the importance of the Raab ...
متن کاملBloodlines of haematopoietic stem cell research in Japan.
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can supply all blood cells throughout the adult life of individuals. Based on this property, HSCs have been used for bone marrow and cord blood transplantation. Among various stem cells, HSCs were recognized earliest and were studied most extensively, providing a model for other stem cells. Knowledge of HSC regulation has rapidly accumulated of late. Contributio...
متن کاملSequential Anti-Cytomegalovirus Response Monitoring May Allow Prediction of Cytomegalovirus Reactivation after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
BACKGROUND Reconstitution of cytomegalovirus-specific CD3(+)CD8(+) T cells (CMV-CTLs) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is necessary to bring cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation under control. However, the parameters determining protective CMV-CTL reconstitution remain unclear to date. DESIGN AND METHODS In a prospective tri-center study, CMV-CTL reconstitution wa...
متن کاملHuman embryonic stem cell lines generated without embryo destruction.
Already in 2006 the group of Irina Klimanskaya / Robert Lanza had published a controversially discussed paper on the generation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) from cells that had been obtained by blastomere biopsy. Title and abstract of that paper suggested that removal of one or only few cells from an embryo could be sufficient, and that the original embryo might survive undamaged, so t...
