Male Germ Cells Can Be Directly Converted Into Other Cell Types
Researchers have found a way to directly convert spermatogonial stem cells, the precursors of sperm cells, into tissues of the prostate, skin and uterus. Their approach, described this month in the journal Stem Cells, may prove to be an effective alternative to the medical use of embryonic stem cells.

A New Chapter In The Fight Against Tuberculosis Opened By Unexpected Discovery
A close relative of the microorganism that causes tuberculosis in humans has been found to form spores. This is a sensational finding because researchers have long been convinced that these kinds of bacteria - the mycobacteria - were incapable of forming spores. Leif Kirsebom"s research group at Uppsala University now has photographic proof, obtained while working with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis in fish, to challenge this long-held belief. Their discovery, which has attracted much attention from other scientists, might constitute a new turn in the fight against human tuberculosis.

Antiabortion Group's National Convention Focuses On 'Common Ground' In Abortion-Rights Debate
The National Right to Life Committee last week held its national convention in Charlotte, N.C., attracting as many as 1,300 antiabortion-rights advocates from around the U.S., according to event organizers, the Charlotte Observer reports. According to the Observer, a large part of the convention focused on President Obama"s appeal for "common ground" in the abortion-rights debate, with many participants arguing there is not much in common to be found between abortion-rights supporters and opponents.NRLC Political Director Karen Cross said that Obama is "the most pro-abortion president" in U.S. history, telling convention delegates, "Look at the devastation brought by the first 100 days" of his administration. Cross was referring to Obama"s decisions to ease restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, lift the "global gag" rule and his intentions to repeal the Bush administration"s provider "conscience" rule.Although Obama has sought to achieve common ground on abortion by promoting adoption and methods of preventing unintended pregnancies, his "view of common ground is not common ground at all" for "people with very strong pro-life positions," John Green, a senior fellow at the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, said. Green said that the "positive news is abortion is not a priority for many Americans." Green said that results from a recent a Pew Research Center poll could indicate that "pro-life constituencies are becoming more vocal and more strident precisely because there"s a president with more pro-choice sympathies." Similarly, a May Gallup poll found that 51% of U.S. residents consider themselves "pro-life," compared with 42% who call themselves "pro-choice." The poll was the first time Gallup found that more people identified themselves as "pro-life."Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said that the Gallup poll "doesn"t square" with the election of Obama and abortion-rights majorities in both chambers of Congress. She said, "Americans want a change in the tone of the debate and that begins with common ground on birth control and sex education." She added, "As long as right-to-life refuses to support better access to contraception, they will continue to be outside the mainstream values of this country" (Morrill, Charlotte Observer, 6/20).

A Selection Of Opinions And Editorials

The End Of Medical Miracles? - Wall Street Journal "FDA timidity is especially problematic and often detrimental to public health when it comes to risky new drugs for cancer or new antibiotics for increasingly resistant infections" (Tevi Troy, 6/1). The $2 Trillion Savings Plan - American Medical News "The AMA is on record saying that empowering doctors to implement strategies to improve care and avoid unnecessary services is far more effective than across-the-board payment cuts to physicians and others" (Editorial, 6/1). Health care reform: Tough task ahead - The Washington Times "Congress must find specific savings now to offset the substantial cost of health reform over the next 10 years, as the nation moves toward universal coverage (itself a necessary condition for restraining costs over time). To find the savings, policymakers will have to stand up to interest groups and make tough choices on both spending and revenues" (Robert Greenstein, 6/2). $2.5 Trillion-Plus Question: How To Pay For Health Care? - Des Moines Register "The bottom line is there is no free ride in health care. Paying for it - for today"s Americans and future generations - is going to require difficult decisions about spending less, spending smarter and generating revenue" (Editorial, 6/2). Recession is making nursing shortage worse - The Philadelphia Inquirer "The recession has given us a temporary reprieve, due to lower demand for elective health services and lower production of nurses. But that short-term bandage is about to be yanked off, and, unless we act quickly, what lies ahead will be painful for patients and the entire health-care system" (Risa Lavizzo-Mourey and Joan Verplanck, 6/2).
