Aims & Scope Cell Medicine informs society about original, peer-reviewed research and review articles on the subject of cell therapy and its translational application to human diseases. A wide range of topics involving the use of cells, engineered cells and stem cells derived from a multitude of different sources, covering aspects of physiological, medical, tissue engineering, and device-oriented manipulation of the nervous system, endocrine, cardiac, bone, skin, muscle and other organs, with the ultimate aim of clinical translation are acceptable. To provide complete coverage of this revolutionary field, Cell Medicine reports on relevant technological advances and their potential for translational medicine. Rigorous peer review is applied to all articles published in Cell Medicine to ensure only high quality contributions from all areas of translational research are accepted. While the journal Cell Transplantation, issued by the same publishers, is primarily restricted to articles that directly relate to cell transplantation, Cell Medicine also encompasses other forms of cellular study that are expected to ultimately result in a translational therapy and so is not limited to cellular transplantation. Cell Medicine is an online Open Access journal. This allows your work to be disseminated to a wider audience and also entitle you to a … Continue reading →

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 28-Jul-2014 Contact: Catherine Kolf ckolf@jhmi.edu 443-440-1929 Johns Hopkins Medicine Most cells do not divide unless there is enough oxygen present to support their offspring, but certain cancer cells and other cell types circumvent this rule. Researchers at The Johns Hopkins University have now identified a mechanism that overrides the cells' warning signals, enabling cancers to continue to divide even without a robust blood supply. In the process, the researchers found that lysosomes the cell's protein "recycling centers" help govern cell division decisions. They also uncovered new evidence that certain drugs can halt the growth of tumors that have high levels of the protein HIF-1alpha. A summary of their findings will be published the week of July 28 in the journal PNAS. Low levels of oxygen stimulate the production and activation of HIF-1alpha, which protects cells in two ways. Primarily, it turns on several genes for proteins that help the cells adapt to the lack of oxygen. It can also stop the duplication of DNA, which prevents cells from dividing and adding more oxygen-using cells to an already harsh environment. Knowing that some cells ignore the warnings of HIF-1alpha and divide anyway, Gregg Semenza, M.D., Ph.D., and his … Continue reading →

A team of oral surgeons reportedly removed 232 teeth from the mouth of a 17-year-old boy in India on July 21. The boy was diagnosed with a condition called complex composite odontoma, a rare type of tumor that affects the jaw or gums, his doctors said. Ashik Gavai was admitted to JJ Hospital in Mumbai with swelling in his right jaw, Dr. Sunanda Dhiware, head of the hospital's dental department, told BBC News. The boy had been experiencing discomfort from the swelling for 18 months, Dhiware said. His father, Suresh Gavai, told the Mumbai Mirror that his son began complaining of severe pain a month ago. In people with complex composite odontoma, a tumor grows in the jaw and contains tooth-like structures, as well as blobs of enamel and dentin, the tissues that make up teeth. "Once we opened [the tumor], little pearl-like teeth started coming out, one-by-one," Dhiware told the BBC. "Initially, we were collecting them, they were really like small white pearls. But then we started to get tired. We counted 232 teeth." However, these pearl-like objects, aren't really teeth in the truest sense of the word, according to Dr. J. David Johnson an associate professor at the … Continue reading →

The move is aimed at cashing in on the implementation of the Asean Economic Community, which comes into effect next year, and to contribute to the country's potential of being a hub for medical services in the region. Under the cooperation pact - signed with medical service centres and beauty clinics in South Korea, Germany, Italy, France, Singapore and the US - Thailand can be promoted as a global medical hub within the next three years, thanks to its lower cost of medical treatment and post-surgery rehabilitation, said Dr Khongkwan Fujitnirun, laser surgeon and managing director of Khongkwan Clinic. The deal will increase the number of foreign patients at the company's beauty clinics, she added. "With this cooperation, we will be able to share special skills on aesthetic medical services with our partners in other countries. South Korea, for example, has very strong expertise in cosmetic surgery, and Germany in live-cell treatment.
