Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in Multiple System Atrophy …

Posted: Published on July 2nd, 2016

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include: During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market. Site IRB NCT ID: NCT02315027 Sponsor Protocol Number: 12-005950 The purpose of this study is to determine whether mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be safely delivered to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Therapy

Posted: Published on June 29th, 2016

Mol Pharm. Author manuscript; available in PMC 2014 Jan 7. Published in final edited form as: PMCID: PMC3549356 NIHMSID: NIHMS428909 1Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38103 2Department of Endocrinology, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN 38103 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells which have self-renewal capacity and differentiation potential into several mesenchymal lineages including bones, cartilages, adipose tissues and tendons. MSCs may repair tissue injuries and prevent immune cell activation and proliferation. Immunomodulation and secretion of growth factors by MSCs have led to realizing the true potential of MSC-based cell therapy. The use of MSCs as immunomdulators has been explored in cell/organ transplant, tissue repair, autoimmune diseases and prevention of graft vs. host disease (GVHD). This review focuses on the clinical applications of MSC-based cell therapy, with particular emphasis on islet transplantation for treating type I diabetes. Keywords: Mesenchymal stem cells, immunomodulation, islet transplantation, gene delivery, biomaterials Stem cells have self-renewal potential and ability to differentiate into one or more specialized cell types.1 There are two broad types of stem cells, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and adult stem cells. ESCs are isolated from inner cell mass of blastocyst … Continue reading →

Stem cellsare cells originate in all multi-cellular organisms. They were isolated in mice in 1981 and in humans in 1998. In humans there are several types of stem cells, each with variable levels of potency. Stem cell treatments are a type of cell therapy that introduces new cells into adult bodies for possible treatment of cancer, diabetes, neurological disorders and other medical conditions. Stem cells have been used to repair tissue damaged by disease or age. Objective Stem Cell Research-2017 has the platform to fulfill the prevailing gaps in the transformation of this science of hope, to serve promptly with solutions to all in the need.

noun, Medicine/Medical. 1. the application of genetic engineering to the transplantation of genes into human cells in order to cure a disease caused by a genetic defect, as a missing enzyme. British Dictionary definitions for gene therapy Expand the replacement or alteration of defective genes in order to prevent the occurrence of such inherited diseases as haemophilia. Effected by genetic engineering techniques, it is still at the experimental stage gene therapy in Medicine Expand gene therapy n. A technique for the treatment of genetic disease in which a gene that is absent or defective is replaced by a healthy gene. gene therapy in Science Expand gene therapy in Culture Expand A promising technology that involves replacing a defective gene in the body with a healthy one. This can be done by removing cells from the body, using genetic engineering techniques to change defective sequences in the DNA, and then reinserting the cells. This technique has been carried out successfully, for example, on bone marrow cells, in which defective cells were successfully replaced with healthy, genetically engineered cells. Scientists hope to find an agent, such as a therapeutic virus, that will be able to correct defective DNA in situ. (See cloning … Continue reading →

What is biotechnology? | Europabio

Posted: Published on June 5th, 2016

The word biotechnology is a cross between the Greek words 'bios' (everything to do with life) and 'technikos' (involving human knowledge and skills). The OECD (the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development) defines biotechnology as "the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents". More simply, it is using living organisms to make useful products. Production may be carried out by using intact organisms, such as yeasts and bacteria, or by using natural substances (e.g. enzymes) from organisms. Biotechnology makes use of biological systems and processes to manufacture useful products and provide services. What is.... Healthcare or red biotechnology refers to a medicinal or diagnostic product or a vaccine that consists of, or has been produced in, living organisms and may be manufactured via recombinant technology (recombinant DNA is a form of DNA that does not exist naturally. It is created by combining DNA sequences that would not normally occur together). Read more Agricultural or green biotechnology encompasses a range of modern plant breeding techniques. For centuries, farmers have tried to improve their crops by means of crossing, relying on the random rearrangement of existing genes between two closely related parent plants.
