Sperm generating cells are best! German scientists said on Friday they had isolated sperm-producing stem cells that have similar properties to embryonic stem cells from adult mice. If the same type of cells in humans show similar qualities the researchers from the Georg-August-University of Goettingen believe they could be used in stem cell research which […]

I had this as a part of another post, but it is too important to bury in a bunch of other topics. I am not fan of the embryonic stem cell snake oil promises peddled by its backers. I have a BS in Biology and understand the deliberate misrepresentations constantly made about the potential of […]

As I said, the embryonic stem cell promises have been all hype and snake oil: Key parts of a landmark paper from South Korea’s most renowned stem cell scientist were fabricated and the researcher is seeking to have the work withdrawn, a close collaborator told South Korean media on Thursday. The daily newspaper Hankyoreh and […]

The emrbyonic stem cell research is fast falling behind adult stem cell therapies now coming out. Adult stem cells treatments are being used on patients with paralysis and seeing results (see comments). Conversely, embryonic stem cells have seen cysts and out of control growth when applied, and now it seems one of the few and […]

Embryonic Stem Cell Research is fool’s gold in comparison to Adult Stem Cell research. I am not a layman on the subject since I hold a BS in Biology. My reasons to be bullish on adult stem cells is based on the scientific facts and the challenges facing embryonic research. Simple combinatorial math demonstrates the […]

Folks, I have been posting since this site came on line, and on political forums for years before that, Adult Stem Cell Therapies will prove to be much more successful than Embryonic Stem Cell solutions. The reasons are obvious to those of us who know biology and science (I myself hold a BS in Biology). […]

I have posted many times on the hype surrounding embryonic stem cell research, and how this hype has bordered on being on par with the snake oil salesman of the past. Now one of the founders of the stem cell concept has come forward to take on the inaccurate and pollyannish propaganda about stem cell […]

As I posted yesterday, the recent stem cell breakthrough at Harvard makes the harvesting of stem cells from young human beings, sorry – embryos, irrelevant and unnecessary. So how does the liberal Washington Post present this great news? A Harvard University advance in generating embryonic stem cells may have the unintended consequence of hindering congressional […]

Instapundit had this posted and the Mrs, LJStrata, sent it to me as well. This is really a great breakthrough for stem cell research. The adult stem cell (or on this case, post-birth-human) sources have always been the better option so as to tailor any replacement cells or tissues specifically to the patient by using […]

I truly wish the debate on stem cells was an honest one, but even Frist at time used the broader ‘stem cell’ statement interchangeably with the hot button issue of “embryonic stem cell’ research. And he also mistakenly claimed that embryonic stem cells could cure Altzheimer’s, which nearly all researchers agree probably cannot happen. And […]
