The agency that holds the patents on stem cells, WARF, has made a deal with the State of Wisconsin to wave the (disputed) patent licencing fees for companies in Wisconsin.

Mice get the best medical treatments
The Cheerful Oncologist is one of the wise men in blogville, and he proved it again this weekend, commenting on a study on the effects of red wine in mice prone to an Alzeimher’s like disease: “Red Wine Slows Brain Cell Damage In Mice” Why do mice always get to receive the newest advances in … Continue reading

Scientific American: Cloning is inefficient
Okay, that wasn’t the intended point of the Scientific American news article. While it should have been, the actual point that I think the authors here wanted to make (besides pushing embryonic stem cells, in the first place) was: Adult stem cells don’t do as well as fully-differentiated White Blood Cells in SCNT experiments in mice. … Continue reading
Saletan on Prolife Contraception (Almost)
William Saletan has a basic problem when he begins to discuss prolife vs. abortion: while he’s not pro-abortion, he’s not anti-abortion, either.

Cook was seen as a “clash.”: The hearing was marked by a minor clash between Dr. Beverly Nuckols, a New … Continue reading

Texas House State Affairs Committee meeting
Today the Texas House State Affairs Committee met in Houston to hear invited testimony on their interim charge on following stem cell research. The proponents of embryonic stem cell research are still claiming that “only” 9 or so diseases are being treated with adult stem cells and that we’ve had 40 years on adult stem … Continue reading
