New
research by sociologists from two universities and a medical center
reports that studies in adult and embryonic stem cells are
complementary. According to the researchers, incentives to use both
types of cell in comparative studies are high, and banning either type
of stems cells and the research involving them could have negative
impacts on the other.

Microscopic magnetic particles have been used to bring stem cells to sites of cardiovascular injury in a new method designed to increase the capacity of cells to repair damaged tissue. The cross disciplinary research demonstrates a technique where endothelial progenitor cells—a type of stem cell shown to be important in vascular healing processes—have been magnetically tagged with a tiny iron-containing clinical agent, then successfully targeted to a site of arterial injury using a magnet positioned outside the body.
