UTexas: Modified virus fights stem cell cancer

Viral gene therapy (similar to techniques used in the stem cell breakthrough last week) has been used by University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center researchers in animal models and reported in the September 19, 2007 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. From MD Anderson: Since 2004 scientists have found that brain … Continue reading

"Modest" Increase in Sexually Transmitted Diseases

After a decline in STD’s in the late ’80’s and ’90’s that is believed to have been driven by “safer sex” strategies brought on by the spread of HIV, numbers of infections have increased for the second year in a row. The increase may actually be the result of increased efforts at screening and more … Continue reading

"Fertilized eggs" and cloned human embryos (The future, again)

“ScienceBlogs” is one of the examples I give when I’m trying to explain the anti-life, anti-religion atmosphere that is pushed (like a religion itself) in our universities and by the Powers That Be in science academia and publishing. I think I may have identified one or two of the bloggers as believers (proof that miracles … Continue reading

Governments threaten physicians for anti-abortion policy

In our Nation, with our First Amendment, why doesn’t someone threaten all the bodies placing restrictions on conscience clauses and against religious-based practices? In Portugal, the Health Minister has been threatening to take the Portugal Medical Association to Court for its policy that states that doctors should respect human life from fertilization to natural death. … Continue reading

Buy "Yamanaka StemCell Factors"

No, Really!!! Your “Plasmid Cart” is empty! I’m studying up to be able to answer some very tough questions by Lydia from an earlier post. While “Googling” “Oct 3/4,” I found this ad, for “Yamanaka StemCell Factors.” as sold by “www.addgene.com.” Addgene.com is selling the plasmids mentioned in Takahashi and Yamanaka’s “Induction of pluripotent stem … Continue reading

More Questions on Embryonic Stem Cells

Lydia asked about my comments on embryonic-like cells derived from umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood itself appears to be at least multipotent. However, Texan and British researchers worked with NASA to produce “embryonic-like” stem cells by manipulating them with filters and a special centrifuge. Here’s my post from August, 2005 on those cells. And … Continue reading
