Stem cell study could aid quest to combat range of diseases

Posted: Published on June 3rd, 2013

Public release date: 3-Jun-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Eleanor Cowie eleanor.cowie@ed.ac.uk 44-131-650-6382 University of Edinburgh Scientists have taken a vital step forward in understanding how cells from skin tissue can be reprogrammed to become stem cells. New research could pave the way to generate these stem cells efficiently to better understand and develop treatments for diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and muscular degeneration. The study of how these cells known as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were reprogramed was led by the University of Edinburgh and is published in the journal Nature. Scientists found that the process by which iPSCs are created is not simply a reversal of how skin cells are generated in normal human development. Researchers made the discovery by tracking the change of skin cells during the reprogramming process. All cells in the human body begin life as a mass of cells, with the capacity to change into any specialised cell, such as skin or muscle cell. By returning adult cells to this original state and recreating the cell type needed for treatment scientists hope to find ways of tackling diseases such as MS, in which cells become faulty and need to … Continue reading

International Stem Cell Corporation Initiates IND-Enabling Study in Parkinson's Disease Program

Posted: Published on May 31st, 2013

CARLSBAD, CA--(Marketwired - May 30, 2013) - International Stem Cell Corporation (OTCQB: ISCO) (www.internationalstemcell.com) a California-based biotechnology company developing novel stem cell based therapies, announced today the initiation of its IND-enabling pharmacology and toxicology non-human primate studies, under the direction of Yale School of Medicine Professor D. Eugene Redmond Jr. MD, the internationally recognized neurosurgeon and a leader in the use of stem cells for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The studies will use non-human primates with moderate to severe Parkinson's disease symptoms to assess the safety and functional efficacy of ISCO's proprietary stem cell-derived neuronal cells. The endpoints of these multi-dose studies include determining cell fate, biodistribution and primate behavioral evaluations using a standardized rating scale to assess potential extrapyramidal side effects associated with the cell engraftment. The first, interim results are expected in Q4 of 2013 with the final results available in Q2 of 2014. Leading the studies will be Prof. Redmond, a recognized expert in the use of transplanted neural cells to treat parkinsonism in primates and the development of effective replacement strategies using stem cell derived neurons. In his career of over 25 years, Prof. Redmond has made many significant contributions in the field of cellular … Continue reading

Research and Markets: Cell Culture Purchasing Trends 2013 Market Research Report: Current and Future Selection …

Posted: Published on May 29th, 2013

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zgpz5r/cell_culture) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Cell Culture Purchasing Trends" to their offering. Current and Future Selection, Acquisition, and Usage Features Basal media, fetal bovine media and balanced salt solutions are prevalent cell culture media. However, serum free media and growth, as well as attachment factors, are expected to see increased use in 2013 because current non-users are planning to include them in their workflow. Overall, Asia-Pacific is still a growing market in terms of the number of cell culture users, but high pricing and high usage rates make it a very attractive one. With respect to selection drivers, product consistency and having a past relationship with a supplier are the two key features that drive cell culture selection. Key Topics Covered: 1. Research Background, Objectives, Methods and Definitions 2. Executive Summary 3. Current and Future Usage Trends - Current and Future Usage Trends of Cell Culture Media Read more from the original source: Research and Markets: Cell Culture Purchasing Trends 2013 Market Research Report: Current and Future Selection ... … Continue reading
