This technical achievement would potentially enable scientists to work with new lines of embryonic stem cells derived using public funding in the US, where federal funding was at the time limited to research using embryonic stem cell lines derived prior to August 2001. In March, 2009, the limitation was lifted. [69]
Stem Cell Research is a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal covering research on stem cells. The journal was established in 2007 and is published 8 times per year by Elsevier. The editor-in-chief is Thomas Zwaka (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai).
It covers contemporary and emerging areas in stem cells, including embryonic and adult stem cells, and related lineage and cloning issues. The journal also publishes reviews covering basic, clinical, biotechnology, regulatory, and ethical aspects of stem cell research and applications. [1] The journal got its current name in 2009 from Stem Cell ...
Some stem cells form tumors after transplantation; [106] pluripotency is linked to tumor formation especially in embryonic stem cells, fetal proper stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells. Fetal proper stem cells form tumors despite multipotency. [107] Ethical concerns are also raised about the practice of using or researching embryonic stem ...
It was established in 2013 and is published exclusively online by Cell Press. It is the official journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research. The editor-in-chief is Martin Pera (Jackson Laboratory). According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 7.765. [1]
In 1998, Thomson's Lab was the first to report the successful isolation of human embryonic stem cells. On November 6, 1998, Science published this research in an article titled "Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocysts", results which Science later featured in its “Scientific Breakthrough of the Year” article, 1999.

The Southern Baptist Convention opposes human embryonic stem cell research on the grounds that the "Bible teaches that human beings are made in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:27; 9:6) and protectable human life begins at fertilization." [71] However, it supports adult stem cell research as it does "not require the destruction of embryos ...
A stem cell line is a group of stem cells that is cultured in vitro and can be propagated indefinitely. Stem cell lines are derived from either animal or human tissues and come from one of three sources: embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells. They are commonly used in research and regenerative medicine.
