Feb. 25, 2013 For decades scientists around the world have attempted to regenerate primary liver cells known as hepatocytes because of their numerous biomedical applications, including hepatitis research, drug metabolism and toxicity studies, as well as transplantation for cirrhosis and other chronic liver conditions. But no lab in the world has been successful in identifying and growing liver stem cells in culture -- using any available technique -- until now. In the journal Nature, physician-scientists in the Pap Family Pediatric Research Institute at Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children's Hospital, Portland, Ore., along with investigators at the Hubrecht Institute for Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research, Utrecht, Netherlands, describe a new method through which they were able to infinitely expand liver stem cells from a mouse in a dish. "This study raises the hope that the human equivalent of these mouse liver stem cells can be grown in a similar way and efficiently converted into functional liver cells," said Markus Grompe, M.D., study co-author, director of the Pap Family Pediatric Research Institute at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital; and professor of pediatrics, and molecular and medical genetics in the OHSU School of Medicine. In a previous Nature study, investigators at … Continue reading →

February 22, 2013 Updated Feb 22, 2013 at 10:33 PM CST PEORIA, Ill -- Cutting edge stem-cell research is being done right here in our own community. However, the looming federal sequestration is putting all research funding at risk. Dr. Craig Cady along with seven of his students, are attempting to find a cure or treatment for Parkinson's Disease, heart disease and ovarian cancer on the campus of Bradley University. "We have to understand the disease, how the stem cells can be used to treat the disease," said Dr. Cady. He adds, with increasing technology they get closer to clinical trials all the time, "We're also in animal model research with our cancer work and then for our Parkinson's we're also very close to an animal model also." East Peoria residents Barb and Roger Hallen visited the lab Friday afternoon. Barb was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2008. She said, "You slowly slow down everything and the symptoms just year by year, it starts out on one side of your body and then develops." Dr. Cady said each patient they meet is a huge motivator and allows them to put a face to the research. "Everyday we're working with cells … Continue reading →

Gerard Cuomo loves to dance. Until recently, however, the 70-year-old couldnt even do a two-step. After having three heart attacks in the early 1990s, Cuomos heart was severely damaged. The scar tissue that had formed around his heart left him easily fatigued. I felt like an old man, said Cuomo of Aventura. I could barely climb the stairs. I could walk for about a quarter of a mile. Shopping at the mall I wish I did not have to sit down all the time. In May 2010, he participated in a University of Miami Miller School of Medicines clinical trial in which doctors injected stem cells directly into his heart muscle. The stem cells, because they are not fully formed, have the potential to grow into different kinds of cells, internalizing information from their environment to determine their future growth. The study found that the injections built up the healthy heart tissue and reduced scar tissue by 33 percent a dramatic improvement, said Dr. Joshua Hare, director of UMs Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute, which conducted the study with Johns Hopkins University. The new tissue remodeled the heart to look more like a healthy, football-shaped heart. This is a real example … Continue reading →

ROCKVILLE, MD--(Marketwire - Feb 21, 2013) - MarketResearch.com has announced the addition of the market research report "Complete 2012-13 Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Industry Report" to their product offering. iPSCs are adult stem cells that have been transformed into embryotic-like stem cells through the manipulation of gene expression and similar methods. Despite some initial concerns, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are now sold by more than half (53.4%) of U.S. research product companies and 38.7% of research product companies worldwide. "It is clear that iPSC products are in high demand within the scientific community. Currently, it is difficult for stem cell research product suppliers, like BD BioSciences, Life Technologies, and others, to know what products iPSC scientists will demand in 2013 and beyond. The needs of scientists are constantly changing, so this market intelligence report reveals profitable opportunities for providers of iPSC research products to pursue," says BioInformant. For the past five decades, stem cell research has provided insights to the inner workings of the body and cell regeneration. "Therapeutic applications of iPSCs represent the future of medicine," says BioInformant. The scientific community believes that one day stem cell research will assist in finding viable treatments for crippling diseases such … Continue reading →
