Sep. 18, 2013 Scientists know that physical and biochemical signals can guide cells to make, for example, muscle, blood vessels or bone. But the exact recipes to produce the desired tissues have proved elusive. Now, researchers at Case Western Reserve University have taken a step toward identifying that mix by developing an easy and versatile way of forming physical and biochemical gradients in three dimensions. Ultimately, one of their goals is to engineer systems to manipulate stem cells to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. "If we can control the spatial presentation of signals, we may be able to have more control over cell behavior and enhance the rate and quality of tissue formation," said Eben Alsberg, an associate professor of biomedical engineering and orthopaedic surgery at Case Western Reserve and senior author of the research. "Many tissues form during development and healing processes at least in part due to gradients of signals: gradients of growth factors, gradients of physical triggers." Alsberg, postdoctoral scholar Oju Jeon and graduate student Daniel S. Alt of Case Western Reserve, and Stephen W. Linderman, a visiting undergraduate on a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates summer fellowship, tested their system on mesenchymal … Continue reading →

Orange, CA (PRWEB) September 17, 2013 The top regenerative medicine clinic in Southern California, TeleHealth, is now offering stem cell therapy for back pain due to degenerative disc disease. The treatment has the potential to repair and regenerate damaged spinal discs and is performed as an outpatient procedure. For more information and scheduling, call (888) 828-4575. One of the most troublesome spinal conditions to treat has been degenerative disc disease. Normally, a spinal disc contains 80% water. However, as it degenerates that percentage decreases and the discs are not great at regenerating themselves. This degeneration may unfortunately happen at a young age due to genetics or post traumatic deterioration. TeleHealth, the leading stem cell therapy clinic in California, is now offering regenerative medicine treatments for degenerative disc disease. This includes either platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP), bone marrow derived stem cell injections, fat derived stem cell injections or a combination of therapies. The treatments are on the cutting edge of medicine and have brought home to millions of individuals suffering from degenerative arthritis, disc disease and soft tissue injuries. TeleHealth also provides stem cell injections for osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tendonitis, achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, ligament sprains and new indications such … Continue reading →

Public release date: 17-Sep-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Robert Miranda cogcomm@aol.com Cell Transplantation Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair Putnam Valley, NY. (Sept. 17 2013) Vaginal delivery presents the possibility of injury for mothers that can lead to "stress urinary incontinence" (SUI), a condition affecting from four to 35 percent of women who have had babies via vaginal delivery. Many current treatments, such as physiotherapy and surgery, are not very effective. Seeking better methods to alleviate SUI, researchers carried out a study in which female laboratory rats modeled with simulated childbirth injuries received injections of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs; multipotent cells found in connective tissues that can differentiate into a variety of cell types including: bone, cartilage and fat cells) to see if the cells would home to and help to repair the damaged pelvic organs. The study appears as an early e-publication for the journal Cell Transplantation, and is now freely available on-line at http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/cog/ct/pre-prints/content-cog_09636897_ct0957dissaranan. "Stem cell-based therapy has recently gained attention as a promising treatment for SUI," said study co-author Dr. Margot S. Damaser of the Cleveland Clinic's Department of Biomedical Engineering. "Stem cell therapies may be more feasible and less invasive than … Continue reading →

Manila, Philippines More health groups are supporting the stand of the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) to strengthen government control against the unapproved use of stem cell therapy until conclusive trials had proven its safety and efficacy. The University of the Philippines-National Institutes of Health (UP-NIH) released a statement stressing the importance of clinical trials in proving the efficacy of stem cell treatments. Aside from the NIH, the other medical societies opposing the highly advertised unproven treatments are the Philippine College of Geriatric Medicine, Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, Philippine Society of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Philippine Society of Nephrology, Philippine Neurological Association, Philippine Society of General Surgeons, Philippine College of Surgeons, Philippine Heart Association, Philippine Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Philippine Society of Medical Oncology, Diabetes Philippines, Philippine Society of General Internal Medicine, Philippine Society for Vascular Surgery, Philippine Urological Association, Philippine College of Chest Physicians, Philippine Rheumatology Association, Philippine Society of Gastroenterology, Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Philippine Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine, Philippine Society of Nuclear Medicine, Academy of Filipino Neurosurgeons, and the Philippine Dermatological Society. The NIH said stem cell therapy, in all its stages collecting, processing, cryopreservation, and delivery of stem cells, … Continue reading →

Public release date: 12-Sep-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Meng Zhao eic@nrren.org 86-138-049-98773 Neural Regeneration Research Basic fibroblast growth factor exhibits a high affinity for heparin. Heparin combined with basic fibroblast growth factor significantly contributes to the differentiation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into motor neurons. Xueyuan Liu and colleagues from Liaoning Medical University found that the third passage of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells induced with heparin and basic fibroblast growth factor exhibited neuronal morphology, and Hb9 expression and acetylcholine levels increased following induction with heparin combined with basic fibroblast growth factor. These findings, published in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 22, 2013), indicate that heparin combined with basic fibroblast growth factor can noticeably promote the differentiation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into motor neuron-like cells. This technology is expected to prevent and treat muscular atrophy caused by peripheral nerve injury. ### Article: " Acetylcholine secreted by motor neuron-like cells from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells," by Xueyuan Liu, Dehua Li, Dong Jiang, Yan Fang (Department of Anatomy, Liaoning Medical University, Jinzhou 121001, Liaoning Province, China) Liu XY, Li DH, Jiang D, Fang Y.
