Politically correct human embryonic stem cells?

Article Abstract:

Researchers have to work with federally approved human embryonic stem-cell lines to be eligible for federal funding in the US, while efforts are made to derive such lines without destroying a viable human embryo. Initial studies suggest that such lines could be derived either from one cell of a cleaving embryo, leaving the remaining embryo to develop normally, or from a 'embryo' that is rendered genetically incapable of normal development.

Progress in human somatic-cell nuclear transfer

Article Abstract:

A report is presented regarding pluripotent human embryonic stem cells that could efficiently be generated by nuclear transfer for a wide variety of patients. In order to underscore the clinical relevance of the transfer of somatic cell nuclei into oocytes, donors were used that had conditions that are potentially hypogammaglobulinemia, spinal cord injury, and juvenile diabetes.

Knock out, knock in, knock down - genetically manipulated mice and the Nobel Prize

Article Abstract:

The last 2007 Nobel Prize in Medicine went to three great scientists, who discovered a new technique of introducing gene modifications in mice by using the embryonic stem cells. The research is found to be very useful for human clinical practices.
