cells embryonic generate interfere method model mouse potential shown stem using
We have shown in a mouse model that you can generate embryonic stem cells using a method that does not interfere with the developmental potential of the embryo,
cells concerned create destroying including life method save showing stem trying
Many people, including the president, are concerned about destroying life while trying to save it. We're showing a method by which you can create stem cells without destroying the embryo.
cell cells create injuring kicking line stem trying
No one has ever done this before, ... What we are trying to do here is to create a stem cell line without injuring an embryo. Our cells can go on to become a healthy, kicking baby.
cell cells single thrown
A single cell all by itself, thrown into plastic, it just doesn't like that. . . .You put it in with other cells and it's much happier.
growing-up technology cells
In fact when you combine stem cell technology with the technology known as tissue engineering you can actually grow up entire organs, so as you suggest that sometime in the future you get in an auto accident and lose your kidney, we'd simply take a few skin cells and grow you up a new kidney. In fact this has already been done.
cells blood feet
So someday in the near future hopefully rather than having a foot or a leg amputated we'll just give you an injection of the cells and restore the blood flow. We've also created entire tubes of red blood cells from scratch in the laboratory. So there are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.
scientific
Without any scientific data, one has to be very, very skeptical.
diversity dozen few genetic lose members remaining serious species talking wild
When you get down to a few dozen members of a species you're really talking about very serious problems, ... So this is a tool. From now on that there's no need ever really to ever lose that genetic diversity that's remaining in these wild populations.
research
Without eggs, there's no research. It's been a bottleneck for this research from the get-go.
gene honest human knocked ourselves whether
We need to be honest with ourselves that a human embryo is a human embryo whether or not Cdx2 or any other gene is knocked out.
damage die future games held people played research rock thousands traveled undone
Unfortunately, the damage Hwang did can't be undone. It can't be undone for us, and it can't be undone for the thousands of people who may die in the future because this research has been unnecessarily held up while (Hwang) played his games and traveled around the world like a rock star.
damage
Unfortunately, the damage Hwang did can't be undone.
ahead dried group leaders money obscure planet purified side suddenly
We were the world leaders one day and then suddenly some obscure group on the other side of the planet is ahead of us. Money dried up. We didn't have enough even for purified water.
bombarded children competing depending discuss generally individual nature says school
As children we were bombarded by competing answers. Church says one thing, school another. Now as adults it's no surprise that if we discuss the nature of it all, we generally spout some combination of the two, depending on our individual inclination and mood.
