WARF does not charge academics to study human stem cells but does charge commercial users. WARF sold Geron Corp. exclusive rights to work on human stem cells but later sued Geron Corp. to recover some of the previously sold rights. The two sides agreed that Geron Corp. would keep the rights to only three cell types. In 2001, WARF came under public pressure to widen access to human stem-cell technology.[70] A request for reviewing the WARF patents 5843780; 6200806; 7029913 US Patent and Trademark Office were filed by non-profit patent-watchdogs The Foundation for Taxpayer Consumer Rights, and the Public Patent Foundation as well as molecular biologist Jeanne Loring of the Burnham Institute. According to them, two of the patents granted to WARF are invalid because they cover a technique published in 1993 for which a patent had already been granted to an Australian researcher. Another part of the challenge states that these techniques, developed by James A. Thomson, are rendered obvious by a 1990 paper and two textbooks. Based on this challenge, patent 7029913 was rejected in 2010. The two remaining hES WARF patents are due to expire in 2015. The outcome of this legal challenge is particularly relevant to the Geron Corp. as it can ...From:Suman BhattacharjeeViews:0 0ratingsTime:04:15More inEducation

Stem cell basics
For more information, log on to- shomusbiology.weebly.com Download the study materials here- shomusbiology.weebly.com Stem cells are biological cells found in all multicellular organisms, that can divide (through mitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals, there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing adult tissues. In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all the specialized cells (these are called pluripotent cells), but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs, such as blood, skin, or intestinal tissues. There are three accessible sources of autologous adult stem cells in humans: Bone marrow, which requires extraction by harvesting, that is, drilling into bone (typically the femur or iliac crest), Adipose tissue (lipid cells), which requires extraction by liposuction, and Blood, which requires extraction through pheresis, wherein blood is drawn from the donor (similar to a blood donation), passed through a machine that extracts the stem cells and returns other portions of the blood to the donor. Stem cells can also be taken from umbilical cord blood just after birth. Of all stem cell types, autologous harvesting involves the ...From:Suman BhattacharjeeViews:0 0ratingsTime:03:36More inEducation

Catherine Malabou. Epigenetics and Plasticity. 2012
#8234;www.egs.edu Catherine Malabou, philosopher and author, talking about the relationship between genetics and the philosophical concept of life. In this lecture Catherine Malabou discusses the mechanization of life, Derrida #39;s concept of the trace as bare life, epigenetics as the transformation of genetic code and the development of the brain in relationship to Michel Foucault, Girogio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, Martin Heidegger, Franois Jacob, Daniel Dennet and Thomas Jenuwein focusing on determinism, fragility, zoe, bios, dasein, stem cells, the passage from genotype to phenotype, interfering RNA, neural plasticity, symbolic life and biology. Public open lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication Studies department program Saas-Fee Switzerland Europe. 2012. Catherine Malabou. Catherine Malabou, Ph.D., born in 1959, was a student at the cole normal suprieure (ENS) and Sorbonne University in France. She wrote her dissertation on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel under the direction of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida, completing it in 1994. The thesis was published in 1996 under the title L #39;Avenir de Hegel, plasticit, temporalit, dialectique (The Future of Hegel: Plasticity, Temporality, and Dialectic).

July 27, 2012 Russia_Medics probe shocking discovery of discarded fetuses
Medical experts and investigators are pondering the origins of more than 200 human fetuses found disposed in the Urals. Speculation ranges from illegal abortions to illegal stem-cell research. Officials already believe the fetuses are from at least four different medical institutions. Some of them may be more than a decade old. All the fetuses are now undergoing forensic examination at a local hospital in an attempt to discover more details which may shed light on the case. Nelly Rutskaya, an obstetrician and gynecologist, does not believe the fetuses were used for tests. "The fetuses were not likely to be used for any purposes. I think the rules for disposing of fetuses were violated. Fetuses usually appear in this form as a result of abortions at late stages of pregnancy. I think this is criminal negligence. Such things should not happen", she said. However, Aleksander Teplyashin, head of the Stem Cells Institute, sees the case differently. "It reminds me of some kind of thriller, in which foetuses are harvested for organs or biological essences that could theoretically be used rejuvenate of people", he said. Dr. Olga Spirina points out that when women choose to abort, "medics are free to use the fetus as material biological research." However, she said criminals could be seeking to profiteer from such research. "For example, an ultrasound doctor could be bribed to tell a pregnant woman older than 35 years that their fetus is defective, saying an abortion is necessary ...From:Felonious VendettaViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:49More inNews Politics
