With the announcement of a pending change in federal rules governing stem cell research, embryonic stem cells have dominated the news in recent days. However, there are other methods of producing pluripotent stem cells that provide exciting alternatives and opportunities to advance human therapy that go beyond what is likely from embryonic stem cells. These include Parthenogenic Stems Cells (made without the use or destruction of human embryos) that may offer a solution to the problem of immune rejection; Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells made from skin or other tissue, including possibly tissue from the patient; and Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer, which has been largely forgotten, but offers very interesting possibilities. This presentation will discuss these various methods and their advantages and disadvantages as compared to each other and embryonic stem cells.
