Experts discuss stem cell banking ethics, policies

Experts discuss stem cell banking ethics, policies By Noimot OlayiwolaStaff Reporter Umbilical cord blood banking and transplantation, issues of ethics and policy as well as regulations governing stem cell banking were some of the high points of discussion during a session on Stem Cell Banking at the Qatar International Conference on Stem Cells Science and Policy, underway at the Qatar National Convention Centre. Sharing the Saudi Arabia experience on umbilical cord blood transplantation during a presentation, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centres blood bank (transfusion & donor services) director and of the Stem Cell Cord Blood Bank at the department of pathology and laboratory medicine, Dr Hind al-Humaidan, noted that the transplantation of allogeneic (taken from different individuals of the same species) bone marrow has been successfully used in the treatment of high risk or recurrent hematologic malignancies, bone marrow failure syndromes, selected hereditary immunodeficiency states and metabolic disorders.

Stem Cell Research Could Allow Women Post-Menopause Babies

A long-held belief about women and fertility is that each woman has a set amount of eggs in her lifetime and that when those eggs are depleted at menopause, so are her chances at having a biological child. However, research out of Massachusetts General Hospital is questioning that view. Using stem cells taken from human ovaries, scientists have produced early-stage eggs, which brings up all sorts of questions about possible new methods for treating infertility.Nicholas Wade, writing in The New York Times, adds, “The ability to isolate stem cells from which eggs could be cultivated would help not only with fertility but also with biologists’ understanding of how drugs and nutrition affect the egg cells.” Jonathan Tilly, the director of Mass General’s Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology and leader of the new research, had reported in 2004 that ovarian stem cells in mice could create new eggs “similar to how stem cells in male testes produce sperm throughout a man’s life.”His new study attempted to prove this with humans.
