Stem cell star Sean Morrison to Michigan GOP: ‘You don’t compete by looking for ways to put stem cell biologists in jail’
TAMR welcomes Sean Morrison to Texas. TAMR’s goal has been to protect the ability for Texas researchers to explore all forms of regenerative medical research. The non-partisan support of the majority of the Texas Legislature has preserved a welcoming environment in Texas for regenerative medical research.
A preeminent figure in adult stem cell research is leaving the state of Michigan to continue his ground breaking Cancer Research in Texas.
Sean Morrison, director of the Center for Stem Cell Biology at the University of Michigan, isn’t mincing words on his way out the door. Read More

iPS Transplants Rejected in Surprise Setback for new Therapies
There is a reason that what is done in the laboratory is called research. This finding in no way diminishes the potential of induced pluripotent stem cells {iPS). It merely underscores the fact that all forms of stem cell research must be pursued. There are no easy or quick answers.
“Hopes for treating life-threatening diseases with cells taken from patients’ own bodies have suffered a setback after research showed they might trigger severe immune reactions.
The surprise finding will be a hurdle for scientists working on induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, a variety of cell that holds promise for treating conditions as diverse as muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s and heart disease.“ Read More

Quotes
This is the first derivation of retinal cells from human embryonic stem cells. We believe these new retinal cells could be used to treat blindness and may, in fact, be the one of the very first applications of embryonic stem-cell technology. In fact, we would not have made this discovery if our research had been limited to the stem-cell lines approved by President Bush.
