Stem cell therapy a boon to Parkinson's patients

Posted: Published on February 27th, 2015

Bengaluru:Feb 27, 2015, DHNS Two courses of stem cell therapy have helped Ashok Kumar, 59, who suffered from tremors and rigidity due to Parkinsons disease, recover completely, much to the joy of his family. The man was brought inside my cabin in a wheelchair. He was unable to even sit on the chair without support. Today, he walks independently. Stem cell therapy has made it possible for him, said Dr Naseem Sadiq, Director, Plexus Neuro and Stem Cell Research Centre, who began treating Kumar in October, last year. Previously, medication and surgical procedure were the only treatment option for Parkinsons disease. Medication in the long-term often lacks effectiveness and may cause side effects, while surgery is not always feasible. Lately, stem cell therapy has turned out to be a boon for patients with Parkinsons, Dr Sadiq said. Kumar is among the few who have benefited from stem cell therapy. However, though the State has been reporting an increase in the number of registered stem cell donors, it is far behind sufficient as the genetic match between donor and recipient could be anywhere between one in 10,000 and one in two million, according to experts. Speaking to Deccan Herald, Raghu Rajgopal, … Continue reading

Snapshot: FDA approves heart stem cell clinical trial for …

Posted: Published on February 27th, 2015

Volume 10, Issue 1 Dr. Andre Terzic explains how heart stem cells were developed. Christian Homsy, M.D., president of Cardio3, shares his perspective on the heart stem cell clinical trial. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the way for the Belgian company and Mayo Clinic collaborator Cardio3 BioSciences to launch a phase III clinical trial of its stem cell therapy based on Mayo Clinic regenerative medicine research. The heart stem cell clinical trial will test the use of cardiopoietic (cardiogenically instructed) stem cells designed to improve heart health in people with heart failure. These modified stem cells, which researchers describe as cardio-smart cells, have been produced according to the technique developed by Andre Terzic, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine in Rochester, Minn., and his colleagues. The multisite U.S. trial, called Chronic Heart Failure Analysis and Registry in the Tohoku District 2 (CHART-2 Study), hopes to recruit 240 patients with chronic advanced symptomatic heart failure. Cardio3 BioSciences is a bioscience company based in Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium. Previous trials with the heart stem cells were held in Belgium, Serbia and Switzerland. A version of the phase III trial is now beginning in Europe. . See … Continue reading

Small molecule helps get stem cells to sites of disease and damage

Posted: Published on February 27th, 2015

An industry-academic research collaboration yields a new strategy for delivering stem cells to the right location IMAGE:Researchers identified a small molecule that can be used to program mesenchymal stem cells (blue and green) to home in on sites of damage. view more Credit: Oren Levy, Brigham and Women's Hospital Bioengineers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) with collaborators at the pharmaceutical company Sanofi have identified small molecules that can be used to program stem cells to home in on sites of damage, disease and inflammation. The techniques used to find and test these small molecules may represent important tools in advancing cell-based therapy, offering a new strategy for delivering cells to the right locations in the body. The results of their work appear online this week in Cell Reports. Through a collaborative research project, the research team tested more than 9,000 compounds, and used a multi-step approach - including a sophisticated microfluidics set up and novel imaging technique - to narrow in on and test the most promising compounds. "There are all kinds of techniques and tools that can be used to manipulate cells outside of the body and get them to do almost anything we want, but once we … Continue reading

Study Shows Stem Cells Have Potential to Help Kids Hearts, Too

Posted: Published on February 27th, 2015

Durham, NC (PRWEB) February 27, 2015 Several studies showing the promise of stem cells for treating patients with heart failure have made headline news recently. However, all these studies dealt with adult patients only. New research appearing in this months STEM CELLS Translational Medicine shows that stem cells may have the same potential in treating children with congenital heart diseases that can lead to heart failure. The study, undertaken by researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., looked at the feasibility and long-term safety of injecting autologous umbilical cord blood cells directly into the heart muscle at the pediatric stage of heart development. The study was conducted on pigs, due to their hearts similarity to human hearts. The team injected the stem cells directly into the right ventricle of groups of three- and four-week old healthy piglets, and then compared the results to a control group that did not receive any cells. Over the next three months, the animals were monitored to assess cardiac performance and rhythm to determine how safe the procedure would be for humans. During this follow-up period, we found no significant acute or chronic cardiac injury pattern caused by the injections directly into the heart, … Continue reading

Quality control for adult stem cell treatment

Posted: Published on February 27th, 2015

A team of European researchers has devised a strategy to ensure that adult epidermal stem cells are safe before they are used as treatments for patients. The approach involves a clonal strategy where stem cells are collected and cultivated, genetically modified and single cells isolated before being rigorously tested to make sure they meet the highest possible safety criteria. The strategy, which is published online in EMBO Molecular Medicine, is inspired by the approaches the biotechnology industry and regulatory affairs authorities have adopted for medicinal proteins produced from genetically engineered mammalian cells. "Until now there has not been a systematic way to ensure that adult epidermal stem cells meet all the necessary requirements for safety before use as treatments for disease," says EMBO Member Yann Barrandon, Professor at Lausanne University Hospital, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and the lead author of the study. "We have devised a single cell strategy that is sufficiently scalable to assess the viability and safety of adult epidermal stem cells using an array of cell and molecular assays before the cells are used directly for the treatment of patients. We have used this strategy in a proof-of-concept study that involves treatment of … Continue reading

Moffitt Cancer Center Researchers Identify Protein Pathway Involved in Brain Tumor Stem Cell Growth

Posted: Published on February 27th, 2015

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise TAMPA, Fla. Glioblastomas are a highly aggressive type of brain tumor, with few effective treatment options. Moffitt Cancer Center researchers are one step closer to understanding glioblastoma development following the identification of a key protein signaling pathway involved in brain tumor stem cell growth and survival. Brain tumor stem cells are believed to play an important role in glioblastoma development and may be possible therapeutic targets. The neurotrophin protein pathway controls nerve growth, survival and specialization. In an article published in the Feb. 6 issue of The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Moffitt researchers reported that the neurotrophin pathway is also involved in the survival and growth of brain tumor stem cells. The stem cells have high levels of neurotrophin receptors called TrkB and TrkC. Cellular signals from normal brain cells can activate TrkB and TrkC on the stem cells and stimulate cell growth. And when scientists inhibited TrkB and TrkC, they found decreased stem cell survival. This suggests that TrkB and TrkC may be possible drug targets for stem cells in gliomas and glioblastomas. This work might be a first step in developing new treatment approaches targeting brain tumor stem cells. It … Continue reading
