‘Scope for innovation in genetic medicine’
There is a tremendous opportunity in genetic medicine for innovation and for new players to make significant contributions, because it is still experimental, noted biologist and Nobel Laureate Dr David Baltimore said yesterday. “Today, it is mainly the province of biotechnology companies and universities, not big pharmaceutical companies,” he observed in a keynote presentation at the Qatar International Conference on Stem Cell Science and Policy 2012. There are new genetic tools available – though they are still experimental – to treat diseases which involve adding, subtracting or modifying genes in the cells of the body. Continue reading

What is naturopathic medicine?
TAHOE/TRUCKEE — Naturopathic medicine operates on the premise “when the root cause of disease is properly understood and treated, symptoms disappear and health is restored.” Naturopathic doctors are clinically trained in both natural and conventional medicine through four years of post-graduate medical school. Naturopathic medicine recognizes your body has an ability to heal itself when all of your body’s natural defenses are strong and fully supported. While conventional medicine is limited to treating mostly with pharmaceuticals and surgery, naturopathy examines the whole body and the individual symptoms you experience beyond a strict diagnosis, and uses a wide variety of non-drug therapies (sometimes in conjunction with conventional medicines) to support your whole body.

Ogden family at center of ethics debate in genetics research
Ogden • By the time Camilla Black Grondahl became pregnant with her second child in 2010, she had already watched two older sisters bury sons who were born with a congenital affliction that gave them the appearance of “little old men.” Various health problems made their survival impossible. The young mother did not know whether she, too, could pass the condition to her unborn son. But a Utah researcher, who had been sequencing her family’s genes, did know. Continue reading

Ovarian Stem Cells Produce Eggs in Method That May Aid Fertility Therapy
By Ryan Flinn – Mon Feb 27 05:00:01 GMT 2012 Stem cells taken from human ovaries were used to produce early-stage eggs by scientists in Boston who may have created a new method to help infertile women. Females have a fixed number of eggs from birth that are depleted by the time of menopause. The finding, published today in the journal Nature Medicine, challenges the belief that their ovaries can’t make more Continue reading
