Cloned Mice Created From Fully Differentiated Cells, A Milestone In Cloning Research
10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
New research dismisses the notion that adult stem cells are necessary for successful animal cloning, proving instead that cells that have completely evolved to a specific type not only can be used for cloning purposes, but they may be better and more efficient. As proof, researchers report they created two mouse pups from a type of blood cell that itself is incapable of dividing to produce a second generation of its own kind.

Team of scientists develops non-invasive method to track nerve-cell development in live human brain
11-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of scientists including researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have identified and validated the first biomarker that permits neural stem and progenitor cells to be tracked, non-invasively, in the brains of living human subjects. This important advance could lead to significantly better diagnosis and monitoring of brain tumors and a range of serious neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Mass. General researchers identify master cardiac stem cell
11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital Cardiovascular Research Center have discovered what appears to be a master cardiac stem cell, capable of differentiating into the three major cell types of the mammalian heart. In a report to appear in the journal Cell, receiving early online release, they describe identifying these progenitor cells in mice, cloning them from embryonic stem cells, and showing that cloned cells can differentiate into cardiac muscle, smooth muscle or endothelial cells.

New hope for regenerative medicine
02-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
In the February 15th issue of Genes & Development, Dr. K. John McLaughlin and colleagues report on their success in using uniparental embryonic stem cells to replace blood stem cells in mice. Uniparental embryonic stem cells are an appealing alternative source of patient-derived embryonic stem cells, as they have several advantages over embryonic stem cell lines generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (also known as therapeutic cloning).

Scientists prove that disputed Korean stem cell line comes from an unfertilized egg and not cloning
08-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Can a genetic signature identify the origin of a human stem cell line? Scientists report that a widely available method for comprehensive genetic analysis can help distinguish the type of human embryo that stem cells come from.

Human embryonic stem cell lines created that avoid immune rejection
12-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
In a groundbreaking experiment published in Cloning & Stem Cells, scientists from International Stem Cell Corp. derived four unique embryonic stem cell lines that open the door for the creation of therapeutic cells that will not provoke an immune reaction in large segments of the population. The stem cell lines are "HLA-homozygous," meaning that they have a simple genetic profile in the critical areas of the DNA that code for immune rejection.

Mice cloned from skin cells
02-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Healthy and viable mice that survive until adulthood have, for the first time, been cloned from adult stem cells. The scientists used keratinocyte stem cells, which represent a new model system for cloning. Keratinocytes come from the skin, making them a particularly attractive stem cell source because of their ready accessibility. One day, they could be used to tailor therapies, as well as to better understand and treat diseases.

DFG remains skeptical of the cloning of human cells
01-22-2008 · EurekAlert!
According to a paper published in the journal Stem Cells, an American group has succeeded in inserting cell nuclei from human skin cells into human enucleated oocytes and to stimulate these new cells to undergo cell division in the laboratory.

Mouse stem cell line advance suggests potential for IVF-incompetent eggs
02-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have found that mouse oocytes that fail to become fertilized during in vitro fertilization are nevertheless often capable of succeeding as "cytoplasmic donors" during a subsequent cloning step using so-called nuclear transfer. Although the implications for human eggs are not yet clear, the findings are of interest because of the ethical and practical concerns surrounding the need for fresh human oocytes for similar nuclear-transfer procedures using human cells.
