Michael Kalichman and Larry Hinman
on KPBS's "These Days" with Tom Fudge
(04/30/08)
Are embryos necessary for stem cell research? KPBS's "These Days," talks about the ethical issues around embryonic stem cell research and whether adult stem cells alleviate ethical questions. Also explored are the pros and cons of voter identification laws and the impact on the presidential election this year.

Larry Goldstein on KUSI's
"San Diego People" with Kimberly Hunt
(09/02/07)
Larry Goldstein and KUSI news anchor Kimberly Hunt discuss the basics of stem cells: How are they derived? What do they do and why are stem cells important? What diseases do scientists hope to treat or cure?
Importantly, the program covers specific stem cell research projects at UCSD, and why San Diego is one of the best places in the world for stem cell research.

The Charlie Rose Science Series
(05/16/07)
Larry Goldstein, Professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at UCSD
an exploration of one of the most promising fields of science: stem cell research. Our panel discusses existing successes in the use of stem cells, such as bone marrow transplants, and the hopes for future applications of both adult and embryonic stem cells, both as a way to model and study disease and a possible treatment for a variety of conditions, such as heart and blood disease, diabetes , Parkinson's, Lou Gehrig's disease, Alzheimer's, spinal cord injuries, and cancer. The uses of federal and private funding for the research are also considered.
These issues are discussed by Sir Paul Nurse, president of The Rockefeller University, Doug Melton, Co-director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, George Daley of Children's Hospital Boston and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, Larry Goldstein, director of the UC San Diego Stem Cell program, and Story Landis of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Stem Cell Researchers on Ethics and Science
(04/05/07)
Larry Goldstein, Professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at UCSD
Stem cells provide some of the greatest hope for curing some of the most devastating diseases. But the promise of stem cells comes with a couple of reservations. First, dramatic cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and Lou Gehrig's disease are still a long way off. Also, the most promising kind of stem cells -- embryonic cells -- are subject to a tremendous amount of ethical controversy. President Bush placed serious restrictions on funding of embryonic stem cell research in 2001. Bipartisan support for more funding in Congress has, so far, failed to overcome the president's veto power.

Study: Gene therapy may
slow Alzheimer's
George Lewis, NBC Correspondent
Mark Tuszynski, UCSD Neurologist
The first attempt at gene therapy for Alzheimer’s patients appeared to significantly delay worsening of the disease in a few people who have tested it so far, scientists have reported.
Far more research is needed to see if the experimental treatment, which requires a form of brain surgery, really helps.

Stem Cells: The Brains Beginnings
Fred Gage, Salk Institute for Biological Studies
What is a stem cell? What could studying these cells tell us about the mechanisms of normal development? How could stem cells be used to treat disease? What is controversial about embryonic stem cell research and why? These are some of the questions addressed by the video and supplemental materials. A basic understanding of cell biology and genetics will help you gain a full appreciation of stem cell research. Links to introductory texts on these topics are provided for reference.
Video Clip #1 (7 min.): Learn what steps are involved in developing therapies with embryonic stem cells, and what hurdles must be overcome to do so.
Video Clip #2 (7 min.): Learn how it is possible to use stem cells to test drug therapies, and what are the advantages of somatic cell nuclear transfer.
