From repairing torn ligaments to rebuilding bones, stem cell procedures are helping mankind in many ways. Now, mans best friend is getting in on the action, too. Bubba, a 2-1/2-year-old English bulldog, was born with severe hip dysplasia that made it difficult and painful for him to walk. "He's had to be injected once a month the last two years to ease the pain in his joints and the hip bone," said Bob Cook, Bubba's owner. So when Cook heard about a new stem cell procedure that could relieve Bubbas pain, he jumped at the chance. Dr. Ashraf Gomaa, veterinarian at Abbott Animal Hospital, extracted fat from Bubba's shoulder. Enzymes were added to the fat. Then, a machine separated the stem cells. Finally, the stem cells were injected back into Bubba to help decrease his painful inflammation. "You want to inject it as closely as possible to the joint that is affected. Those stem cells react to inflammation and they have an affinity to inflammation so they go to any area of the body that has any type of trauma," Gomaa said. On average, the doctor said the treatment lasts one to two years and can be repeated as needed. … Continue reading →

Apr. 24, 2013 Nearly two-thirds of children receiving stem cell transplants returned to the hospital within six months for treatment of unexplained fevers, infections or other problems, according to a study performed at Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center in Boston. Children who received donor cells were twice as likely to be readmitted as children who received their own stem cells. "No one had ever looked at these data in children," said Leslie E. Lehmann, MD, clinical director of pediatric stem cell transplantation at Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center (DF/CHCC). "This is very important information and will allow us to counsel families appropriately, as well as try to devise interventions that reduce the rate of readmissions." The study by Lehmann and Harvard Medical School student David Shulman is being presented at the 26th annual meeting of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology Oncology in Miami, April 24-27. A record review of 129 children from 2008 to 2011 revealed that 64 percent had at least one hospital readmission within 180 days of transplant. The source of the donor cells was a key predictor: 79 percent of patients receiving transplants from a related or unrelated donor were readmitted compared to 38 percent who received their … Continue reading →

Gloucester, MA (PRWEB) April 24, 2013 Representatives of Computer Review today said that stem cell research around the globe gained such impetus since the 1990s that the knowledge had created an information deluge, overwhelming users. Computer Review's tools applied to today's research problems like the Knowledge Economy Selection Chart and their new smartphone app, CREATE, make indexing and accessing stem cell information databases so much easier. "This is news because stem cell research is ballooning," a representative said. "Our directories monitor thousands of private and public companies invested in stem cell research, and we're witnessing a vast amount of current stem cell research documents." The representative went on to say that Computer Review's objective was to save subscribers time and money. As biotech companies spend millions of dollars researching promising areas like vertebrate embryos, reaching out to collaborate with universities and other, bigger biotech companies usually follows; but what universities or companies pursue the same goals? A database that answers a biotech's business intelligence questions could save enormous time and money, especially when it's updated daily, the representative said. With Computer Review, subscribers get complete access to CREATE, the tablet and smartphone tool that reaches the stem cell research database … Continue reading →

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Expectation toward regenerative medicine and stem cell research represented by iPS cells is ever growing, not only for clinical application but also as tools to make drug development/discovery more effective and efficient. Especially in Japan, home of the Novel prize winner Dr. Yamanaka, the market is moving very actively, gaining support in many aspects such as government subsidies, legislation, launch of research centers and so on. At BIOtech 2013 Japan (Asia's LARGEST bio event taking place in Tokyo from May 8 to 10), there will be an increased number of presentations, research achievements and technologies/products related to iPS Cell Research / Regenerative Medicine showcased. Why not visit BIOtech 2013 Japan and explore the forefront of the hottest field? The foremost authority of stem cell research addresses the future potential of iPS Cells (CONFERENCE) At the Conference, the latest development on iPS Cells and Regenerative Medicine will be addressed as one of the main features. No.1 popular session at the moment is Special Session-3 spoken by the foremost authority of stem cell research, Dr. Hiro Nakauchi (Professor and Director, Center of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, The Institute of Medical Science of The University of Tokyo).
