Bush's policy stopped US gaining stem-cell lead

Article Abstract:

Advanced Cell Technology (ACT) scientists in 2001reported the creation of the first early cloned human embryos and by 2002 and 2003, the team of researchers at ACT had very promising results and South Korea's Woo Suk Hwang's research team also developed a highly efficient recipe for producing human embryos through somatic cell nuclear transfer and then extracting their stem cells. South Korea won due to the US President George W. Bush's restrictive policy on funding stem-cell research.

Embryonic and extraembryonic stem cell lines derived from single mouse blastomeres

Article Abstract:

Five putative embryonic stem (ES) and seven trophoblast stem (TS) cell lines were produced from single mouse blastomeres, which maintained normal karyotype and markers of pluripotency, where the ES cells differentiated into derivatives of all three germ layers in vitro and in teratomas, and showed germ line transmission. Single-blastomere-biopsied embryos developed to term without a reduction in their developmental capacity.

Human eggs supply 'ethical' stem cells

Article Abstract:

The researchers of Italy, which has some of the most restrictive embryo-research laws in the world, have produced human embryonic stem-cell lines successfully, without using fertilized eggs. Ethical acceptance of the research is not a problem as creating embryonic stem-cell line does not involve destroying a viable embryo.
