Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 04, 2014 In a new report published in the online journal Cell Death and Disease, the Adult Stem Cell Technology Center, LLC (ASCTC) continues to demonstrate its special expertise in uncovering unknown properties that are unique to adult tissue stem cells. In particular, the new study continues to build the companys portfolio of technologies that make previously invisible adult stem cells not only identifiable, but also countable. The studies were performed with mouse hair follicle stem cells. Because of the universal nature of adult tissue stem cell properties, the new findings are predicted to apply to stem cells in a wide range of human tissues as well. For the past half century since the experimental demonstration of their existence, it has not been possible to identify adult tissue stem cells exclusive of other related cell types. Consequently, counting them has been impossible, too. Established stem cell therapies like bone marrow transplantation are suboptimal because of this limitation; and the current worldwide flood of thousands of clinical trials of tissue stem cell transplantation therapies has the same problem. Without being able to count potentially curative adult tissue stem cells, there is no way to optimize and standardize … Continue reading →

Stem cells offer great potential in biomedical engineering due to their pluripotency, which is the ability to multiply indefinitely and also to differentiate and develop into any kind of the hundreds of different cells and bodily tissues. But the precise complexity of how stem cell development is regulated throughout states of cellular change has been difficult to pinpoint until now. By using powerful new single-cell genetic profiling techniques, scientists at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and Boston Children's Hospital have uncovered far more variation in pluripotent stem cells than was previously appreciated. The findings, reported today in Nature, bring researchers closer to a day when many different kinds of stem cells could be leveraged for disease therapy and regenerative treatments. "Stem cell colonies contain much variability between individual cells. This has been considered somewhat problematic for developing predictive approaches in stem cell engineering," said the study's co-senior author James Collins, Ph.D., who is a Wyss Institute Core Faculty member, the Henri Termeer Professor of Medical Engineering & Science at MIT, and a Professor of Biological Engineering at MIT. "Now, we have discovered that what was previously considered problematic variability could actually be beneficial to our ability to precisely … Continue reading →

Cordlife Medical Philippines Inc. (Cordlife), a fully owned subsidiary of Cordlife Group Ltd., a Singapore Exchange mainboard-listed consumer healthcare company catering to the mother and child segment, recently opened its newly upgraded stem cell processing and cryopreservation facility at UP-Ayalaland Technohub in Quezon City. This expansion came less than five years from the opening of its facility in the country and was mainly driven by the growing number of parents who recognize the value of banking here their babys stem cells. The event launch held at Crowne Plaza in Ortigas was hosted by popular DJ Delamar Arias and graced by celebrity moms, actress and beauty queen Lara Quigaman and journalist Nia Corpuz. Delamar, Lara and Nia all shared their personal experiences of being Cordlife moms themselves. Also in attendance to underscore Cordlifes commitment to Filipino parents and their children were Cordlife Group CEO Jeremy Yee, Cordlife Philippines medical director Dr. Arvin Faundo and Cordlife Philippines director Michael Arnonobal. The event highlighted the five essentials of mother and child that Cordlife addresses through services. These essentials are security, expertise, investment, bond and value for life. With the newly upgraded stem cell facility that can accommodate up to 30,000 cord blood and … Continue reading →

Posted by Dana Sparks (@danasparks) 3 day(s) ago Uniting the Global Stem Cell Community The World Stem Cell Summit, December 3-5 in San Antonio, unites and educates the global stem cell community. With more than 1,200 attendees from more than 40 countries, the annual World Stem Cell Summits interdisciplinary agenda explores disease updates, research directions, cell standardization, regulatory pathways, reimbursements, financing, venture capital and economic development. Throughout the week, the Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine will use social media to connect using the hashtag #WSCS14. At the end of the week, we'll let the tweets, Google+ posts, Flickr photos, Facebook posts and YouTube videos tell the story. The World Stem Cell Summit includes in-depth programming and more than 200 international speakers, including leaders from theMayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine: About the World Stem Cell SummitMayo Clinic, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS), BioBridge Global, Baylor College of Medicine and the Regenerative Medicine Foundation have joined the Genetics Policy Institute to organize the10th Annual World Stem Cell Summit the largest and most comprehensive multi-track interdisciplinary stem cell conference.
