Google Tech Talks
July 31, 2007
ABSTRACT
Stem cell technology and the debate
surrounding it has generated a great deal of
excitement and controversy in recent years.
The field is surrounded by misconceptions,
hype and yet very significant potential. In
this talk we'll cover: defining what are stem
cells really and where do they come from...
the differences between embryonic stem cells
and 'adult stem cells' (i.e. derived from our
own bone marrow, fat, umbilical cord blood,
placentas and even our kids teeth) and
emerging technologies to utilize these cells
in powerful and novel ways. We'll cover
current clinical uses of stem cells, ongoing
clinical trials in regenerative medicine
(i.e. using...

| Understanding Embryonic Stem Cells |
 |
Embryonic stem cells, or ES cells, are cells
that can be isolated from early embryos,
before they differentiate into specific types
of cells. Because stem cells have the
potential to generate fresh, healthy cells of
nearly any type, there is interest in
exploring their use to treat and cure various
diseases. The societal controversy regarding
human ES cells relates primarily to their
derivation from very early embryos. In
addition, certain stem cell lines are
developed using a cloning technique called
somatic cell nuclear transfer, which can
generate cells that are an exact genetic
match to a patient.
