Will Cloning Ever Save Endangered Animals?
In 2009 the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corp. (Embrapa) and the Brasilia Zoological Garden began scavenging and freezing blood, sperm and umbilical cord cells from roadkill and other wild animals that had died, mostly in the Cerrado savanna--an incredibly diverse collection of tropical forest and grassland ecosystems home to at least 10,000 plant species and more than 800 species of birds and mammals, some of which live nowhere else in the world. Specimens were collected from the bush dog, collared anteater, bison and gray brocket deer, among other species. [More] (Source: Scientific American Topic - Stem Cell Research)

Bioexplorers Find Tongue's Taste Bud Factory
Taste may be the least understood of our five senses. Even basic questions, like where do taste buds come from, remained mysterious. Until now. In a study published in the journal Stem Cell , scientists have identified the elusive "parental" cell that give rise to the daughter cells responsible for taste. [Karen K.

Controversial Stem Cell Company Moves Treatment out of U.S.
US citizens who had pinned their hopes on a company being able to offer stem-cell treatments close to home will now need to travel a little farther. Celltex Therapeutics of Houston, Texas, stopped treating patients in the United States last year following a warning from regulators. A 25 January e-mail to Celltex customers indicates that the firm will now follow in the footsteps of many other companies offering unproven stem-cell therapies and send its patients abroad for treatment -- but only to Mexico.

A Dangerous Game: Some Athletes Risk Untested Stem Cell Treatments
In 2005, at the age of 32, then Los Angeles Angel Bartolo Colón won the American League Cy Young Award for best pitcher, one of professional baseball's top honors. He stumbled through subsequent seasons, however, after a series of rips and strains in the tendons and ligaments of his throwing arm, shoulder and back. In 2009 he all but quit baseball. Desperate to reclaim his career, Colón flew home to the Dominican Republic in 2010 for an experimental procedure not vetted or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Doctors centrifuged samples of Colón's bone marrow and fat, skimmed off ...
