The increasing understanding of stem cell biology has opened up the possibility of using cell transplantation to treat a large variety of diseases. The medical need to identify optimal therapies is being challenged, however, by some members of society who seek to impose on this scientific quest their views—generally associated with particular religious beliefs—of what constitutes allowable research. This conflict mirrors earlier battles, extending over 150 years, between those implementing…

Stem cells, regenerative medicine, and animal models of disease.
TLDR
Research is described in support of the best stem or progenitor cell in vitro protocols for isolating, expanding, and priming these cells to facilitate their massive propagation into just the right type of neuronal precursor cell for protection or replacement protocols for brain injury or disease, including those that affect movement such as Parkinson's disease and stroke.
Jewish Ethics Regarding Vaccination
In recent years, more and more religious communities have been refusing to vaccinate their children, and in so doing are allowing diseases to spread. These communities justify resistance to…
Advances in stroke regenerative medicine 2007.
TLDR
Findings in 2007 offer a proof-of-concept of the notion that embryos need not be destroyed to generate stem cells; they offer a strategy for developing embryonic stem cells that are genetically identical to their recipient; and they offer the opportunity to study in a dish via culturing.
“I Don’t Lend Money; it Causes Amnesia!” Money, Culture and Ethics
Christian leaders seek to be ethical people and make ethical decisions, but often the ethical dilemmas a leader must face do not have clear-cut answers. Ethical dilemmas can be even more troubling…

    HEC forum : an interdisciplinary journal on hospitals' ethical and legal issues
  • 2014
TLDR
It is argued that appreciating that a disagreement is deep might have positive implications, changing the authors' moral assessment of individuals and their decisions, shedding light on the limits of the obligation to give and respond to arguments in cases of moral disagreement, and providing an incentive to seek alternative ways of going on in the face of intractable moral disagreement.
In Delicate Balance: Stem Cells and Spinal Cord Injury Advocacy
TLDR
Given the still-developing science behind SCT, the presence of cautionary information about stem cell tourism at advocacy sites is ethically appropriate and represents a lost educational opportunity.

Compounding the Dynamics of Business Ethical Dilemma: The Globalisation Equation
This paper joins the growing body of literature on exploring the ethical debate and dilemmas of ethics in business. Relying on evidence from studies on the activities of the multinationals in the…
The Normative Significance of Deep Disagreement
Treatments of deep disagreement often hint at sinister implications but I will argue that we need not accept these pessimistic consequences. Settling disagreements by way of rhetoric or incentive,…

Stable reprogrammed heterokaryons form spontaneously in Purkinje neurons after bone marrow transplant
TLDR
It is shown that green fluorescent protein (GFP)-positive bone-marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) contribute to adult mouse Purkinje neurons through cell fusion and the formation of heterokaryons increases in a linear manner over 1.5 years and seems to be stable.
Cell fusion is the principal source of bone-marrow-derived hepatocytes
TLDR
It is concluded that hepatocytes derived form bone marrow arise from cell fusion and not by differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells.
Contribution of transplanted bone marrow cells to Purkinje neurons in human adult brains
TLDR
It is shown that cells within human adult bone marrow can contribute to cells in the adult human brain, although during human development Purkinje neurons are no longer generated after birth, cells within the bone marrowcan contribute to these CNS neurons even in adulthood.
Purified hematopoietic stem cells can differentiate into hepatocytes in vivo
TLDR
It is reported that intravenous injection of adult bone marrow cells in the FAH−/− mouse, an animal model of tyrosinemia type I, rescued the mouse and restored the biochemical function of its liver.

TLDR
Current knowledge regarding various invasive experimental treatments that have been or are now being applied clinically, including transplantation strategies that promote axonal regrowth and partial functional recovery, are summarized.

Bone Marrow as a Source of Endothelial Cells and NeuN-Expressing Cells After Stroke
TLDR
Bone marrow–derived cells are a source of endothelial cells and NeuN-expressing cells after cerebral infarction and this plasticity may be exploited in the future to enhance recovery after stroke.
