NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Autologous Stem Cell and Non-Stem Cell Based Therapies Market (2012-2017) (Neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, cancer & autoimmune, skin and infectious diseases) http://www.reportlinker.com/p01022392/Autologous-Stem-Cell-and-Non-Stem-Cell-Based-Therapies-Market-2012-2017-Neurodegenerative-cardiovascular-cancer--autoimmune-skin-and-infectious-diseases.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Biological_Therapy Autologous cell therapies are new therapeutic intervention where it introduces or uses cells or tissues from the individual, cultured, expanded and re-introduced at the site of the disease of the donor. They are widely promoted as next pillar or advancement in medical care. Growth of the market is very rapid especially in regulatory approvals, applications areas and rapid improvements in efficacy of treatment; it has enormous advantages over allogenic stem cell therapies. Autologous transplants are relatively safe procedures, with less rates of complications and infections compared with allogenic transplants. In many instances, much of the procedure can be done on an outpatient basis. It helps in treating various dreadful diseases by transplanting their own body cells where it results in meager chances of transplant rejection. We have also profiled leading players of this industry with their recent developments and other strategic industry activities. These include: Neostem (U.S.), Tengion (U.S.), Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics (U.S.), Dendreon Corporation (U.S.), Georgia Health Sciences University … Continue reading →

ScienceDaily (Oct. 31, 2012) Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital have found that microscopic particles containing proteins and nucleic acids called exosomes could potentially protect the fragile lungs of premature babies from serious lung diseases and chronic lung injury caused by inflammation. The findings explain earlier research suggesting that while transplanting a kind of stem cell called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could help reduce lung injury and prevent inflammation in a mouse model, the fluid in which the cells were grown was more effective than the cells themselves. The research team -- led by Stella Kourembanas, MD, and S. Alex Mitsialis, PhD, and spearheaded by led by Changjin Lee, PhD, all of the Division of Newborn Medicine at Boston Children's -- published their findings online on October 31 in the journal Circulation. Premature babies often struggle to get enough oxygen into their underdeveloped lungs, resulting in hypoxia and the need for ventilator assistance to breathe. Their lungs are particularly susceptible to inflammation, which can lead to poor lung growth and chronic lung disease. Inflammation is also often associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) -- dangerously high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery (the vessel that carries blood from the heart to the … Continue reading →

ScienceDaily (Nov. 1, 2012) Tendon injuries affect athletic horses at all levels. Researchers from the University of Connecticut are studying the use of stem cells in treating equine tendon injuries. Their findings were published Oct. 16 in the Journal of Animal Science Papers in Press. Tendon injuries in horses tend to worsen over time as damage to the tendon creates lesions. Currently, horse owners treat tendon injuries by resting the horse and then carefully exercising the horse to control the growth of scar tissue in the tendon. Unfortunately, this treatment does not always work. "These injuries result in lameness, which requires substantial recovery time and carry a high risk of re-injury," write authors S.A. Reed and E.R. Leahy. Stem cells injections are already common veterinary medicine, and scientists are curious how to make stem cell treatments more effective. In this paper, the authors looked at the use of three types of stem cells: bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, adipose-derived stem cells and umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells. These types of cells have the potential to strengthen a tendon after injury. Implants of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) can increase collagen production and organized collagen fibers in the tendon. Adipose-derived … Continue reading →

PROSTATE CANCER and stem cells.wmv ramirezdelrio.com Business entrepreneur Larry Howard's 77 year old father was in deep trouble. He had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer by his doctors at Kaiser Permanente. Their treatments had failed to check it and it was spreading. As-a-result the elder Howard had lost a great deal of weight and was running out of time. Larry had heard that a team of doctors in Mexico was using umbilical cord stem cells that had been genetically modified to fight cancer. One of the chief medical consultants to this program, in fact, was actually a friend of Larry's; namely, pioneering physician and stem cell medicine expert David Steenblock. Larry took his father to see Dr. Steenblock, who sent them both to Mexico. The senior Mr. Howard was infused with the genetically engineered stem cells and wound up in total remission within 3 month's time. He went on to regain all the weight he had lost previously and soon felt so good that he resumed socializing and dating. In this very short video segment Larry Howard shares how his father went from gravely ill to free of any detectable cancer.From:btancredi1Views:153 0ratingsTime:01:10More inScience Technology Link: PROSTATE … Continue reading →
