Default Researchers identify best time for stem cell collection for Parkinson's therapy

Researchers identify best time for stem cell collection for Parkinson's therapy

Excerpts:
Researchers have identified a stage during dopamine neuron differentiation that may be an ideal time to collect human embryonic stem cells for transplantation to treat Parkinson's disease, according to data presented at Neuroscience 2008, the 38th annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.

"Identifying the subset of developing dopamine neurons and selecting those cells at the stage appropriate for their transplantation has been challenging," said Dr. Iacovitti. "Our research demonstrates that we are now able to grow neurons and select the ones that may work as a therapy, without the use of synthetic genes. This advance represents an important leap forward in the quest to devise a viable cell replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease."

Default Embryonics

Eight years in the doldrums under the stagnant go nowhere bankrupt thinking of Bush.

There appears to be excitement and momentum gathering once again as interest returns. More positive articles on blastocyst research are appearing in mainstreet press. There is a quIet expectancy.

January 20th Inaugeration day. and already we are reading great artticles such as this one. Thanks Carolyn

BRILLIANT

Excerpts:
Bush's decision not to fund stem cell research is keeping the U.S. behind other countries like Southeast Asia, India, Japan and most parts of Europe, said Hardy, who writes a blog on the Frederick County Biotech Community.

"These countries will likely own most of the patent discoveries and make most of the money off products or therapeutics in the future," Hardy said.

Obama's transition chief John Podesta has said the new president could end the ban.
