Children as Stem Cell Donors in Research: When is it ethical? When is it approvable?
Ethics Rounds: Pediatric Stem Cell Donors Many stem cell transplants rely on pediatric donors. When these transplants occur in the research setting, investigators and IRBs face the question of whether pediatric donors may participate in research studies that pose risks to them and do not offer thepotential for medical benefit. Please join us to discuss the important ethical and regulatory issues that these cases raise, and a proposed framework for addressing them. The program, which involves discussion of pediatric studies at the NIH and elsewhere, should be of interest to individuals involved in research or pediatrics...

Identical Twins Transplant
Intro: Organ transplantation has come a long way in recent years. For example, kidney transplants are very successful operations. But unless a patient gets an organ from an identical twin, he's stuck taking medication to suppress his immune system so the body doesn't reject it. Doctors at Mayo Clinic want to change that. They're researching ways to grow organs from a patient's own stem cells. It's called regenerative medicine, and it offers hope for a solution to organ rejection.

Stem Cells Get Hip
Intro: Stem Cells are the starting point for all the tissues in your body. Your body grows them all the time. So, Mayo researchers thought why not put them work healing damaged tissues like heart muscle or bone. Here's an example that's really hip from Dennis Douda for the Mayo Clinic news Network.

Stem Cells 101
Intro: Stem cells and their use in regenerative medicine have been in the media a lot lately. But, what exactly does it mean? Physicians and researchers in the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Mayo Clinic say it has to do with developing completely new ways to treat and manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart failure or even degenerative nerve, bone and joint conditions. Experts worldwide will meet this December for the World Stem Cell Summit, where they'll explore and share ideas about regenerative medicine. Here are the basics of how this research benefits patients. (Source: Mayo Clinic - Medical Edge Video)
