Ethics Spans ISSCR’s Global Initiatives
It has been a great pleasure to talk this month with Ethics Committee Chair Kazuto Kato and Vice Chair Rosario Isasi – their work along with the committee members is critical to connect scientific advances in the stem cell field with implications for the public and society. Scientific advances require an ethical framework, and without that framework science cannot be done. Their passionate work is critical to properly guide science as well as for their capacity to consider what new ethical frameworks are necessary as research advances.

Stem Cell Transplant Clears Clinical Safety Hurdle for the Treatment of Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Wet AMD in its early stages can be treated with drugs to reduce the formation of new blood vessels, but this treatment is inefficient in cases where blood vessel formation is already in its advanced stages. A new, alternative treatment for those patients may be surgical removal of the abnormal blood vessels followed by the transplantation of stem cell-derived retinal cells, according to a recent study led by Yong Liu and colleagues from Third Military Medical University Southwest Hospital, China, published in the journal Stem Cell Reports.
