Worldwide Research

The committee found that open research in human fatigue is being conducted in several countries: Belgium, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Kuwait, Italy, France, Poland, and Singapore.

1A teratoma is a “multi-layered benign tumor that grows from pluripotent cells injected into mice with a dysfunctional immune system. Scientists test whether they have established a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line by injecting putative stem cells into such mice and verifying that the resulting teratomas contain cells derived from all three embryonic germ layers.” National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 2011. Stem Cell Information. Available at http://stemcells.nih.gov/info/glossary. Accessed August 10, 2012.

2“Hematopoietic stem cells are immature cells that develop into all types of blood cells including white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets.” National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 2011. Stem Cell Information. Available at http://stemcells.nih.gov/info/glossary. Accessed July 31, 212.

3Mesenchymal stem cells are “rare cells mainly found in the bone marrow that can give rise to a large number of tissue types such as bone, cartilage (the lining of joints), fat tissue and connective tissue (tissue that is in between organs and structures in the body).” Texas Heart Institute. 2009. Available at http://texasheart.org/Research/StemCellCenter/Glossary.cfm. Accessed July 31, 2012.
