Conditions for the Utilization of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived From Fetal Tissue."a. Unlike pluripotent stem cells derived from human embryos, DHHS DHHS Department of Health & Human Services (US government) DHHS Dana Hills High School (Dana Point, California) DHHS Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services DHHS Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services funds may be used to support research to derive pluripotent stem cells from fetal tissue, as well as for research utilizing such cells. Such research is governed by Federal statutory restrictions regarding fetal tissue research Scientific experimentation performed upon or using tissue taken from human fetuses. Although fetal tissue research has led to medical advances, including the development of the polio and rubella vaccines in the 1950s, it has also generated controversy because of its use of . . . In addition, because cells derived from fetal tissue at the early stages of investigation may, at a later date, be used in human fetal tissue transplantation Fetal tissue transplantation A method of treating Parkinson's and other neurological diseases by grafting brain cells from human fetuses onto the affected area of the human brain. Human adults cannot grow new brain cells but developing fetuses can. research, it is the policy of NIH "Not invented here." See digispeak. NIH - The United States National Institutes of Health. to require that all NIH-funded research involving the derivation or utilization of pluripotent stem cells from human fetal tissue also comply with the fetal tissue transplantation statute." |
