MU Scientists Convert Pigs' Connective Tissue Cells Into Stem Cells
For years, proponents have touted the benefits of embryonic stem cell research, but the potential therapies still face hurdles. Side effects such as tumor development, a lack of an effective and long-term animal model to test new therapies, and genetic incompatibility between the host and donor cells are some of the problems faced by researchers. Now, scientists at the University of Missouri have developed the ability to take regular cells from a pig"s connective tissues, known as fibroblasts, and transform them into stem cells, eliminating several of these hurdles. The new study appeared in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

The NPA is pleased by today"s decision from the MHRA to keep pseudoephedrine a P medicine and have no doubt that community pharmacies will continue to ensure pseudoephedrine is sold in line with MHRA guidance. John Turk, NPA Chief Executive said: "We are absolutely delighted that our members were able to take up the mantle laid down by the MHRA 18 months ago. The decision demonstrates that the whole community pharmacy team is acting responsibly with regard to the sale and supply of pseudophedrine." "The NPA acted quickly and decisively to support members. Hard copies of the pseudoephedrine training pack produced at the end of 2007 were distributed to the majority of members while the pack is still available online to be downloaded through the NPA members" website. We would still encourage all members to remain vigilant and to help train new staff by accessing the online training pack."
