On August 23rd, a federal district judge issued a temporary ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Stem cell research holds great promise for the treatment of millions of Americans with debilitating and possibly fatal diseases, including diabetes and heart disease. Because of...
One of the most common causes of disability in young adults is spinal cord injury. Currently, there is no proven reparative treatment. Hope that neural stem cells (NSCs) might be of benefit to individuals with severe spinal cord injury has now been provided by the work of a team of researchers...
... and 2010 Amendments to The National Academies' Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research:
In 2005, the National Academies released the book, Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research, which offered a common set of ethical standards for a field that, due to the absence of...
The US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has lifted a clinical hold on Geron's Investigational New Drug (IND) application - the Phase I clinical trial of GRNOPC1 in patients with acute spinal cord injury may now go ahead. GRNOPC1 is the first ever clinical trial of a human embryonic stem cell...
Adult stem cell leader Neostem, Inc. (NYSE Amex: NBS) has been awarded a $700,000 military grant from the U.S. Army's Medical Research and Materiel Command to study adult stem cell applications in the healing of trauma wounds. The award opens new opportunities for the company's patented VSEL...
The Florida Times-Union: Stopping the "medicalization" of good health is being targeted again by economists and policymakers as a way to stem health care costs. "If Americans would stop thinking of certain problems in a medical context, experts argue, it might chip away at the more than $2...
The timing of umbilical cord clamping at birth should be delayed just a few minutes longer, suggest researchers at the University of South Florida's Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair. Delaying clamping the umbilical cord for a slightly longer period of time allows more umbilical...

Why? Why not? As an individual studying medicine, there has not been one con listed about it–in fact, ALL the photos of STDs are on uncircumcised men; but wherever a person goes on the internet, there's nothing but horror stories and proclamations that 30000 nerve endings are removed. I have a...
