First Embryonic Stem Cell Trial Gets FDA Approval …

Posted: Published on September 27th, 2014

(Short Hills, NJ) January 23, 2009 -- Peter T. Wilderotter, president and CEO of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, issued the following statement today in response to FDA clearance of Gerons human clinical trial of embryonic stem cell-based therapy: This is an exciting first step for Geron and for spinal cord injured patients whose lives may improve due to advances in medical research. There has been so much speculative and unsubstantiated information about the use of stem cells in spinal cord injury; it is important to study these cells in a rigorously designed clinical trial that is monitored by the FDA. Wilderotter continued, Christopher and Dana Reeve brought national attention to this issue and they gave voice to all those who are suffering the devastating physical, emotional and financial impact of challenging neurological conditions. Their belief in the promise of stem cell research became a part of their lasting legacy. Shortly before his death, Christopher Reeve wrote, It is our responsibility to do everything possible to protect the quality of life of the present and future generationsNo obstacle should stand in the way of responsible investigation of their [stem cells] possibilities. Wilderotter concluded, This is the dawn of basic … Continue reading

Human stem cell research: all viewpoints – Religious Tolerance

Posted: Published on September 27th, 2014

Stem cells are a special form of human life: they are alive and contain human DNA. They have a unique feature in that they can be coaxed into developing into some or all of the 220 cell types found in the human body. Eventually, stem cells may be routinely used by doctors to generate new organs or new replacement body parts for people: They might become a new pancreas to cure a person with diabetes, or new nerve cells to cure a paralized person, etc. There are three types of stem cells: "...reprogrammed a dozen cell types, including those from the brain, skin, lung and liver, hinting that the method will work with most, if not all, cell types. On average, she says, 25% of the cells survive the stress and 30% of those convert to pluripotent cells already a higher proportion than the roughly 1% conversion rate of iPS cells." 1 Sponsored link. The National Institutes of Health web site states: "To realize the promise of novel cell-based therapies for such pervasive and debilitating diseases, scientists must be able to manipulate stem cells so that they possess the necessary characteristics for successful differentiation, transplantation, and engraftment.

First Clinical Trial of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy …

Posted: Published on September 27th, 2014

October 21, 2010 06:00 Human embryonic stem cell therapy is being tried on a human for the first time in a new clinical trial. This is the first clinical trial of its kind in the world. The trial is designed to test the safety of the treatment, not how well it works. Nonetheless, this is a huge step for regenerative medicine, embryonic stem cell research and science in general! Working in a handful of medical centers around the country, the biotech firm Geron is treating eight to 10 recent paraplegics. The patients will receive an injection of neurons to the site of the damage, followed by a short treatment of anti-rejection drugs. The first patient is reported as a patient in an Atlanta spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation hospital. To take part in the study, the patient had to have suffered a spinal or brain injury that resulted in paralysis from the chest down. This patient was injected with cells derived from human embryonic stem cells obtained from a fertility clinic. Researchers are optimistic that this human embryonic stem cell therapy will not only help alleviate the symptoms of the injury, but permanently repair the damage that caused the … Continue reading

Allegheny General Hospital debuts high-level epilepsy unit

Posted: Published on September 27th, 2014

September 27, 2014 12:00 AM Share with others: By Andrew Goldstein / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Allegheny General Hospital on Monday will be opening a new epilepsy monitoring unit that offers a new design that aims to provide quicker and more efficient care. We [used to] use regular rooms on the floor, but we had to have a sitter with the patient so somebody was right there with them in case they had a seizure, and the nurses were scattered around the floor and they might not get there for 30 seconds or longer, said Jack Wilberger, co-director of the epilepsy program. So its a much safer situation. The layout of the four-bed unit allows nurses and technical assistants to keep constant watch over epilepsy patients and immediately assist them in case of seizures or other problems patients may encounter. Doctors are hoping the new space will decrease wait times for epilepsy patients to receive treatment. Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes people to have recurring seizures that happen when clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain send out the wrong signals. People may have strange sensations or behave strangely, and they may have violent muscle spasms or lose … Continue reading

Children with autism are more sedentary than their peers, new OSU study shows

Posted: Published on September 27th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 26-Sep-2014 Contact: Megan MacDonald Megan.MacDonald@oregonstate.edu 541-737-3273 Oregon State University @oregonstateuniv CORVALLIS, Ore. A new Oregon State University study of children with autism found that they are more sedentary than their typically-developing peers, averaging 50 minutes less a day of moderate physical activity and 70 minutes more each day sitting. The small study of 29 children, some with autism and some without, showed that children with autism perform as well as their typical peers on fitness assessments such as body mass index, aerobic fitness levels and flexibility. The results warrant expanding the study to a larger group of children, said Megan MacDonald, an assistant professor in OSU's College of Public Health and Human Sciences. "These kids, compared to their peers, are similarly fit," MacDonald said. "That's really exciting, because it means those underlying fitness abilities are there." The findings were published this month in the journal "Autism Research and Treatment." Co-authors are Kiley Tyler, a doctoral student at OSU, and Kristi Menear of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The study was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Education with additional support from OSU. For the study, researchers tested the fitness and physical activity levels of … Continue reading
