| Opinion: Stem cell clinics ripping off patients |
| No one likes a bully. Intimidation is a rotten way to get what you want. Yet that's what some in the stem cell therapy industry are trying to do to a group of scientists trying to speak up about the often fraudulent nature of their business, writes bioethicist Art Caplan. |

| Scientists recreate heart defect in a lab dish |
| Using skin cells taken from children with a rare heart defect, researchers have created beating heart cells in the lab with the same heart defect, allowing researchers to test new drugs in human cells instead of mice. |

| Hepatitis Research May Benefit From Stem Cells |
| Hepatitis C is a viral disease that leads to inflammation and organ failure. However, researchers are puzzled as to why some individuals are very susceptible to the disease, while others are not. Researchers believe they could find out how genetic variations produce these different responses by investigating liver cells from different individuals in the lab... |

| Stem Cells Could Drive Hepatitis Research Forward |
| Hepatitis C, an infectious disease that can cause inflammation and organ failure, has different effects on different people. But no one is sure why some people are very susceptible to the infection, while others are resistant. Scientists believe that if they could study liver cells from different people in the lab, they could determine how genetic differences produce these varying responses... |

| Scientists Transform Skin Cells Direct To Brain Cells, Bypassing Stem Cell Stage |
| Bypassing the stem cell stage, researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine in California converted mouse skin cells directly into neural precursor cells, the cells that go on to form the three main types of cell in the brain and nervous system. They write about their findings in the 30 January early online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences... |

| Stanford Scientists Turn Skin Cells Into Neural Precusors, Bypassing Stem-Cell Stage |
| Mouse skin cells can be converted directly into cells that become the three main parts of the nervous system, according to researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The finding is an extension of a previous study by the same group showing that mouse and human skin cells can be directly converted into functional neurons... |
