Irvine Stem Cell Treatment Center: Public Seminar

Posted: Published on March 21st, 2014

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) March 21, 2014 The Irvine Stem Cell Treatment Center, PC, located in Irvine, CA, announces a free public seminar on the use of stem cells for various degenerative and inflammatory conditions. They will be provided by Dr. Thomas A. Gionis, Surgeon-in-Chief. The seminar will be held on March 23, 2014 at 2:00pm PSTat 3500 Barranca Parkway, Suite 315, Irvine, CA 92606. At the Irvine Stem Cell Treatment Center, utilizing investigational protocols, adult adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) can be deployed to improve patients quality of life with a number of degenerative conditions and diseases. ADSCs are taken from the patients own adipose (fat) tissue (also called stromal vascular fraction (SVF)). Adipose tissue is exceptionally abundant in ADSCs. The adipose tissue is obtained from the patient during a 15 minute mini-liposuction performed under local anesthesia in the doctors office. SVF is a protein-rich solution containing mononuclear cell lines (predominantly autologous mesenchymal stem cells), macrophage cells, endothelial cells, red blood cells, and important Growth Factors that facilitate the stem cell process and promote their activity. ADSCs are the body's natural healing cells - they are recruited by chemical signals emitted by damaged tissues to repair and regenerate the bodys … Continue reading →

Fundraiser Saturday for Billerica preschool director

Posted: Published on March 21st, 2014

BILLERICA -- The community is again stepping up to the plate for a Billerica preschool director undergoing stem-cell treatment. The Learning Experience, an early-learning academy, is hosting "Melodies for Melody," a fundraiser from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday in Concord. The fundraiser for Melody Lee will feature live entertainment and games for children. The event is free and open to the community. " 'Melodies for Melody' means a great deal to the TLE family," said David Hawthorne, TLE Concord's Center Operating Partner. "Beyond the importance of raising funds for Melody, this event also serves as an opportunity to show the children at TLE a real-life example of the importance of philanthropy and the impact that it can have in the lives of others." The fundraiser will bring together neighboring communities to raise awareness and donations for Lee, who is undergoing a full stem-cell replacement as part of treatment for Systemic Scleroderma, a debilitating, painful autoimmune disease that has become life-threatening. The disease leads to thickening of the skin caused by collagen accumulation, creating an excess buildup of scar tissue that affects the skin and internal organs. The Concord center and TLE centers nationwide will be raising money throughout March in an … Continue reading →

Stem cell combination therapy improves traumatic brain injury outcomes

Posted: Published on March 21st, 2014

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), sustained by close to 2 million Americans annually, including military personnel, are debilitating and devastating for patients and their families. Regardless of severity, those with TBI can suffer a range of motor, behavioral, intellectual and cognitive disabilities over the short or long term. Sadly, clinical treatments for TBI are few and largely ineffective. In an effort to find an effective therapy, neuroscientists at the Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair, Department of Neurosurgery in the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, have conducted several preclinical studies aimed at finding combination therapies to improve TBI outcomes. In their study of several different therapies -- alone and in combination -- applied to laboratory rats modeled with TBI, USF researchers found that a combination of human umbilical cord blood cells (hUBCs) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), a growth factor, was more therapeutic than either administered alone, or each with saline, or saline alone. The study appeared in a recent issue of PLoS ONE. "Chronic TBI is typically associated with major secondary molecular injuries, including chronic neuroinflammation, which not only contribute to the death of neuronal cells in the central nervous system, but … Continue reading →

Oildale family fights Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Posted: Published on March 21st, 2014

OILDALE, CA - It is a disease that has no known cure. Although advances are being made in the treatment of Muscular Dystrophy, an Oildale family says it can't come soon enough. The Montero family learned just two months ago, their 5-year-old son has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. They've been researching treatment options and came across a drug called Eteplirsen. But, it is currently in the trial phase with the FDA. Five-year-old Anthony Montero is all smiles as he plays with his sister and family. You wouldn't know he has Muscular Dystrophy, a disease that attacks the muscle fibers. "When he had Muscular Dystrophy it was the hardest. That is when we started looking up the types of Muscular Dystrophy and Duchenne is the one that came up," said Maria Montero, Anthony's mother. Doctors say most children with Duchenne will need a wheelchair before they reach their teens and often die from the disease in their twenties. "My son talks about it every day. He wants to be a firefighter or a police officer, and only I know the truth if he can't get this medicine," added Maria. Determined to do whatever they can, the Monteros came across information regarding a … Continue reading →

(PRNewsFoto/Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy) HACKENSACK, N.J., March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nationwide Children's Hospital was named the first Certified Duchenne Care Center by Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), the leading advocacy organization working to end Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne). PPMD is launching the Certified Duchenne Care Center Program as part of its robust Transforming Duchenne Care Initiative. Over the coming year, plans are being made to award other qualified centers the title of Certified Duchenne Care Center in an effort to ensure centers maintain the highest standards in clinical and sub-specialty services, rapidly apply new evidence based knowledge, and comply with standards in clinical care that were established by the CDC Care Considerations. As part of its ongoing mission to end Duchenne, PPMD promises to insist that all people with Duchenne receive comprehensive care. PPMD Founding President and CEO, Patricia Furlong, explained the reason for the new certification program: "There are 10-12,000 young men (and some women) in the U.S. living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Every one of these people deserves the best care and treatment possible. And while each of them may receive care from a local or in many cases, not so local … Continue reading →
