The findings, if confirmed, could force scientists to focus more on embryonic stem cells whose use is highly controversial because they are taken from embryos that are killed in the process. The studies could also influence the debate in where the Washington, Senate is expected to take up thy issue in the next few wtrclTs of whether to ban the use of cloning to create human embryos for medical research. Scientists have long known that stem cells from embryos are cells that can transform themselves into different kinds of specialized tissue, such as muscle, bone, skin and organs, Researchers hope someday to .harness this ability to treat various diseases and injuries. In recent years, scientists have found surprising evidence that stem cells taken from adult creatures have some of the same transforming properties, or plasticity. But the two new studies, conducted in (separate laboratories in the United States and England and published online Wednesday by the'journal Nature, cast doubt on that belief. In the two studies, embryonic. stem cells from mice were put in laboratory dishes with mouse bone marrow' and brain cells. But instead of transforming into their neighboring cells, the stem cells simply merged their genetic material With the marrow and brain! cells. The researchers said the same phenomenon 'may havfe occurred in studies involving adult stem cells, and may have fooled scientists into thinking that the cells had transformed themselves. The new findings "call into question almost all of ,'. Herald charges lor notices, brie! items ing the deceased and the home involved, however, run charge and must be placed funeral home.

He batted .312 with 23 home runs and 112 RBIs, earned 1 the University of Edinburgh, the other by Naohi-r- o Terada, an associate professor of pathology at the University of Florida. "I think the major point of both papers is to call into question all of this excitement that has been engendered by claims that there is plasticity in tissue stem cells," said Harinder Singh, a genetics and biology professor at the University of Chicago. Catherine Verfaillie, director of the University of Minnesota Stem Cell Institute, said the papers do not disprove adult stem cell plasticity findings by other researchers, includ- ing herself.
