Minnesota’s Funding of Stem Cell Research Echoes Trend toward Ethically Non-Contentious Approaches

In 2014, Minnesota became the most recent of a handful of states that provide state funding for all types of stem cell research, including human embryonic stem cell research (hESCR). The law provides for 10 years of funding with $4.5 million approved for the first year and $4.35 million each year thereafter.

Grants for Stem Cell Research Favor Ethical Approaches

The Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund (MSCRF) has awarded two rounds of grants since the Charlotte Lozier Institute last analyzed the Fund’s pattern of grant making for stem cell research, in the fall of 2013. That study found that since MSCRF first began awarding grants in 2007, its pattern of giving shifted over the years from strongly favoring projects focusing on ethically contentious human embryonic stem cell research (hESCR) to projects focusing on ethically non-contentious adult stem cells and other non-embryonic stem cell research.

Whether the U.S. Constitution Permits a Government to Prohibit Abortion in Commercial Surrogacy Is a Question of First Impression

Two state court cases address the issue of abortion in the context of surrogacy contracts or other situations involving artificial reproduction.

Video: To the Brink and Back, A Story of Recovering from Cancer using an Adult Stem Cell Transplant

Cindy Schroeder had always lived an active life. A wife, mother of three, and special education teacher, Cindy drove more than 150 miles each day from school to school before returning home. Her life changed, however, when she began experiencing a crippling exhaustion upon waking, coughs that never seemed to go away, and eventually even trouble breathing. “Everything simple for others became a major deal for me,” recalled Cindy.

iPSCs: A New Gold Standard in Regenerative Medicine?

A recent press release from the National Institutes of Health calls attention to a study, published in Stem Cell Reports, that researchers have “developed a clinical-grade stem cell line, which has the potential to accelerate the advance of new medical applications and cell-based therapies for millions of people suffering from such ailments as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, diabetes, and muscular dystrophy.”
