The states "race" with the federal government for stem cell research.

چکیده
This article presents an innovative study of the effect of individual states and private institutes in pushing forward stem cell research despite a federal ban on creating new stem cell lines. The author analyzes the impact of state legislation, proposing that states are reacting to federal policy by serving as laboratories for what is traditionally federally funded biomedical research.

DNA damage in dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells: An in vitro study
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of a DNA comet assay, DNA fragmentation fluorimetric assay and reactive oxygen species levels as potential biomarkers of genome conditions of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) isolated from dog canine teeth. Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from the dental pulp collected from dog teeth. The results obtained suggest the ideal moment for cl...
متن کاملEgregious error or admirable advance: the memorandum of understanding that enables federally funded basic human embryonic stem cell research.
Introduction The federal government designated the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to negotiate an agreement to allow researchers access to the human embryonic stem cell lines specified under federal research guidelines. The stem cell lines available in the United States are controlled by the WiCell Research Institute and, in part, Geron Corporation. On September 5, 2001, NIH and WiCell sig...
متن کاملFunding of human stem cell research by the United States
During the fall of 1998, three research groups announced that they had devised methods for obtaining human embryonic stem cells. Human stem cells are characterized by the ability to form many cell types, and the scientific community anticipates that the cells should be useful for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. The dilemma is that human stem cell methodology can require, at least t...
متن کاملProgress in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research in the United States between 2001 and 2010
On August 9th, 2001, the federal government of the United States announced a policy restricting federal funds available for research on human embryonic stem cell (hESCs) out of concern for the "vast ethical mine fields" associated with the creation of embryos for research purposes. Until the policy was repealed on March 9th, 2009, no U.S. federal funds were available for research on hESCs extra...
متن کاملFederal Funding for Embryonic Stem Cell Research : Is the NIH ’ s legal line between ES cell derivation and research ethically
Pluripotent Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) offer promising therapeutic potential for a number of fatal and otherwise untreatable diseases (National Institutes of Health, 1999). In 1998, privately funded research conducted at the University of Wisconsin by Dr. James Thomson yielded the first human stem cell line derived from early embryos donated by couples no longer needing them for procreativ...
