The Truth about Stem Cell Our Answer to the Many Cures?
The Year 2002 July
The Singapore government allow the cloning of human embryos for certain research projects giving Singapore having some of the world’s most liberated guidelines for stem cell research.
1954 Embryonic Stem Cell
Scientist John Enders was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for cultivating polio virus in human embryonic kidney cells.
1958
At the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, Leroy Stevens traces the origin of a teratocarcinomas inside the scrotum of a mouse to a stem cell. He was the first person to identify the pluripotent tendencies of these cells.
1964
Researchers is able to isolate a single cell in teratocarcinomas and it can remain undifferentiated in culture. These cells became known as embryonic carcinoma cells (EC cells).
1968
The first bone marrow transplant (adult stem cells) is carried out in the treatment of SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency). In the same year, British scientist, Robert Edward and his student Barry Bavister fertilize the first human egg for in vitro fertilization.
1970
Stevens transplants mouse primordial germ cells that give rise to teratomas into adult mice tissues which subsequently differentiate into teratocarcinoma cells.
1975
Beatrice Mintz and Karl Illmensee show that S cells can give rise to organisms, not just teratomas.
