Congress bands almost all research of federal funded fetal tissue. But the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research requires guidelines. -
Cells found in Human Cord Blood
Dr. Gregor Pindull announce a finding of a stem cell in the human cord blood. He had found a type of stem cell called haematopoietic. This produces more cells for a medical reason. -
Cancer Stem Cell
A new cancer stem cell was discovered. Leukemia was found inside a stem cells. With this, it may produce more cells spreading the disease. It mostly starts from tumors in many organs. -
New Cell Generator
At Kyoto University, an embryonic stem cell was created and generated. It introduced 4 genes into a connective tissue cell or skin cell. Soon they named the cell induced pluripotent stem cells. -
Blindness Treatment
2 patients of blindness and were treated with stem cells. Within 4 months there eyes eased having a little vision. They recieved retinal pigment epithelial cells. these were made from human embryonic stem cells. -
Recovery of Stem Cells
From cloned human embryos, scientis recovered teh stem cells. It was a long lasting goal to treat diseases. It can lead into cures for illnesses such as Parkinson's Disease or even diabetes.
