Stem Cell Researchers Take on Parkinson's
Laura Defrancesco | May 27, 2001 | 6 min read
Parkinson's disease could be the perfect target for stem cell therapy. The etiology of this progressively debilitating disease is clear: scientists know what cells are affected, where those cells reside, when those cells are created during development, and what their target is. This information is reported in scores of articles on cell transplantation that use fetal cells to treat Parkinson's in animal models and people. The good news continues. New research shows that by using stem cells, sci
Stem Cell Discoveries Stir Debate
Douglas Steinberg | Nov 12, 2000 | 9 min read
Editor's Note: This is the first of two articles on questions raised by recent stem cell discoveries. The second article, focusing on various organs and the nervous system, will appear in the Nov. 27 issue of The Scientist. Researchers first isolated embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from mouse blastocysts almost 20 years ago, and a paper announcing the discovery of human ESCs emerged in 1998. Adult-derived stem cells (ASCs) have since become the rage in certain quarters of biology, with unexpected--
