Recent developments by UCLA stem cell scientists have succeeded in transforming human skin cells into cells that may share the same properties and capabilities as embryonic stem cells. This is a great advancement in the research of stem cells, because it helps to reduce the need for embryonic stem cells for studies and development. The use of such embryonic stem cells has long been controversial, not only in the United States but around the world. Any development that helps to avoid the use of embryonic stem cells for treatments and possible cures will avoid ongoing criticism against moral and religious standards in society.

Researchers in Australia have discovered that human breast milk may contain stem cells. This discovery is added to the handful that have been announced in the last few months, which helps to encourage accelerated studies and research into the potential use of non-embryonic stem cells for finding treatments and cures for a large number of disease processes. Dr. Mark Cregan, a molecular biologist at the University of Western Australia, said, "We already know how breast milk provides the baby's nutritional needs, but we are only just beginning to understand that it probably performs many other functions."

Perhaps it is an indication of the growing popularity in stem cell research, but the Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund has to date received nearly 125 applications for grant money in its second year of existence. Recent applications show a more than 40% increase in the amount of funding requests since its first year.

To date, the ability of various cancerous tumors to acquire blood vessel networks has not been understood. However, a recent study has been discovered that shows that blood vessels of tumors can develop from pre-cancerous stem cells, which may be benign or malignant. The knowledge that such cells create their own blood supply may provide understanding into the research of designing medications that will block such tumor blood vessel growth.

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute have long been studying a way to convert adult cells from mice to embryonic like structures using for basic cell research. The study was designed to help create stable cells through the use of a process that has been investigated to promote better understanding of chemical compounds that help to accelerate cell production, which may be used to treat medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's in the future.
