ALS research takes step forward with stem-cell reprogramming The Kansas City Star Thu, 31 Jul 2008 8:46 PM PDT Stem-cell scientists reported Thursday in the journal Science that they had turned skin cells from two elderly patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis into motor neurons. Those are the nerve cells that become damaged in ALS. NY Stem Cell Foundation plays critical funding role in major new ALS research announced today EurekAlert! Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:21 AM PDT NEW YORK, NY (July 31, 2008) – In a breakthrough discovery, Dr. Kevin Eggan, Chief Scientific Officer of The New York Stem Cell Foundation and Principal Faculty Member of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, has produced human stem cell lines from the cells of patients afflicted with a version of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. S Korea bars disgraced cloning hero from human stem-cell work Khaleej Times Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:53 PM PDT Seoul - South Korean cloning researcher Hwang Woo Sook was barred Friday from returning to human stem-cell research, two years after a scandal over manipulated data in studies in which Hwang had claimed to be the first to clone human stem cells. Stanford fruit-fly study adds weight to theories about another type of adult stem cell EurekAlert! Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:21 AM PDT STANFORD, Calif. - It turns out that an old dog - or at least an old fruit-fly cell - can learn new tricks. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found that mature, specialized cells naturally regress to serve as a kind of de facto stem cell during the fruit-fly life cycle. Harvard, Columbia Researchers Make Stem Cell Breakthrough The Harvard Crimson Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:19 AM PDT Scientists from Harvard and Columbia announced Thursday the creation of the first patient-specific stem cell line from humans afflicted with a genetic disease, a key step in the push to create therapies for a wide variety of illnesses by replacing diseased tissue with tissue generated by stem cells.
