Francisco Morales, 54, was sentenced for conspiring to introduce misbranded and unapproved new drugs into interstate commerce, according to a statement Thursday from U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson of the Southern District of Texas. Morales, who pleaded guilty, admitted he sold an unapproved drug product to his co-defendant Lawrence Stowe, 60, and misrepresented himself to the public, Magidson said. Morales would falsely tell patients he was experienced in stem cell treatments when he had only attended seminars and read research papers on the subject, according to Magidson. In a separate case, Morales bought stem cells from a South Carolina company and then illegally took them to Mexico to treat U.S. citizens there, Magidson said. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of stem cell treatments for people.

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Scientists Design and Test New Approach for Corneal Stem Cell Treatments Researchers in the Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute have designed and tested a novel, minute-long procedure to prepare human amniotic membrane for use as a scaffold for specialized stem cells that may be used to treat some corneal diseases. This membrane serves as a foundation that supports the growth of stem cells in order to graft them onto the cornea. This new method, explained in a paper published in the journal PLOS ONE, may accelerate research and clinical applications for stem cell corneal transplantation.

The freezers that hold these samples also contain the hopes of investigators determined to uncover new treatments for cancer patients across the globe. As cancer research continues to evolve, scientists rely on specimen samples, such as tissue, blood or urine, from generous patients to advance discoveries and personalize care. Biobanks, like the state-of-the-art biobank at the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute, allow patients … Continue reading →

by KING 5 HealthLink KING5.com Posted on December 9, 2013 at 6:46 PM No matter your age, when cartilage begins to wear out around your knees and become damaged, it can limit movement and cause severe pain. Now, a new technique using stem cells from donor umbilical cords could help young patients rebuild cartilage and reduce pain. For Jim Hackett, chasing after his young son Jimmy has not been easy. I figured, you know, two years down the road, I want to be able to run around with him, play ball with him, Hackett said. At the rate I was going, that wasnt going to happen. Years as a police officer had taken a toll on Hacketts knees. "It just gets to the point where your knee just says enough and you end up with cartilage problems," Hackett said. Doctor Brian Cole of the Rush Cartilage Restoration Center is using stem cells to repair cartilage. Visit link: New stem cell treatments helping patients with knee pain … Continue reading →
