FDA TRIALS USING ADULT OR CORD BLOOD STEM CELLS
• >70 current human clinical applications using adult stem cells
• there are no current human clinical trials involving human embryonic stem cells
• “It is nearly certain that the [human] clinical benefits of the [embryonic stem cell] research are years or decades away. This is a message that desperate families and patients will not want to hear.”

Objections and concerns..
An embryo should be accorded full human
status from the moment of its creation
• A first step on a ‘slippery slope’ towards human reproductive cloning.

Question to consider:Question to consider:
Is it ethical to delay research
using embryonic stem cells until adult stem cells are fully capable of treating any disease?

04/18/23
Existing lines of hESC
• 414 lines are available in 20 countries
• Characterization of these lines is limited- only 49% of lines are published in peer reviewed journals
Guhr et al Stem cells 2006;24:2187-91
![Page 26: stem cell research](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d4c9debb61eb983a8b45bf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Derivation of hESC
• Frozen embryos from IVF cycle
Expanded blastocyst – ICMimmunosurgical isolation
• Quality poor
-2nd quality embryos-cryoppreservation damages

Maintenance of hESC
• Immortal cells in undifferentiated state
• Optimal growth conditions for future therapeutic applications
• Majority of hESC have been isolated and maintained in fetal calf serum and mouse embryonic fibroblasts as feeder cell layers (Xenoproteins and xenosupports)
![Page 28: stem cell research](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d4c9debb61eb983a8b45bf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Problems• Transmission of interspecies virus transfer
• Incorporation of foreign sugar molecule to hESC leading to immune response
• It may also lead to impairment of cell function & tissue development Varki Am J Phys Anthropol Suppl 2001

Research focus is on….
• Use of human components instead of animal sources to avoid zoonosis
• Fetal, adult muscle tissue, skin, Fallopian tube, endometrium, foreskin cells
• Successful undifferentiated growth of hESC using xenobiotic –free feeder system

Scientific Stem Cell Challenges
• Stem cells represents a very small fraction of cells in tissue.
• Isolate a small number of stem cells (finding a needle in a haystack).
• Expand the number of stem cells for research and clinical applications.
• Maintain genetic stability in culture and in recipient.• Culture media has to be free of animal protein.• Deliver cells to tissue of interest.• Stem cells have to be functional.• Avoid or restrict tissue rejection.

Challenges to Stem Cell/Cloning Research
• differentiation to the appropriate cell type(s) before using clinically.
• Recently, chromosome abnormalities in three human ESC lines.

04/18/23
Challenges to Stem Cell/Cloning Research
• Stem cell development or proliferation must be controlled once placed into patients.
• Possibility of rejection of stem cell transplants as foreign tissues is very high.

Beware
• Private companies promising wonders with stem cells - mostly in countries with unregulated laws
Ilic D, Regenerative med 2006;1:1-4
• UKRAINE –capital of ESC ?
but the references they quote do not have international authenticity in peer reviewed journals
