Comment on Peter Lachmann's article 'Stem cell research--why is it regarded as a threat?' in EMBO reports, March 2001.
Peter Lachmann, President of the Academy of Medical Sciences and Professor of Immunology at the University of Cambridge, gives us his reasons for supporting the British Government’s decision of January 22, 2001, to allow therapeutic cloning in order to harvest human embryonic stem cells. He eloquently and persuasively rejects some common objections to the use of these pluripotent cells to treat...
متن کاملStem cell research--why is it regarded as a threat? An investigation of the economic and ethical arguments made against research with human embryonic stem cells.
The British House of Lords voted on January 22, 2001 to ease restrictions on the use of human embryonic stem cells. Researchers in the UK are now allowed to use early stage human embryos for therapeutic purposes, mainly to retrieve stem cells. This decision comes amidst a heated debate regarding the medical and economic potential of stem cell research as against its ethical pitfalls. The scient...
متن کاملMicroglia as a stem cell
Microglia is considered the only cell population of mesodermal origin, which comprises 10% of the cells in brain parenchyma. Recent neural stem cell (NSC) studies demonstrate that the brain has regenerative potential. NSCs do not give rise to microglial cells, however indicating that NSCs alone cannot complete the regenetion of the brain. Although the role of microglia is not fully understood, ...
