PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 21-Feb-2014 Contact: Peter Hull phull@clemson.edu 843-209-8341 Clemson University GREENWOOD, S.C. A new partnership will establish formal collaboration among genetic researchers and Clemson University faculty at the Greenwood Genetic Center and Self Regional Healthcare, expanding an already successful working relationship. Self Regional Healthcare will support the Clemson University Center for Human Genetics with a gift of $5.6 million over three years. The gift consists of an initial contribution of $2 million for the center's facilities and a subsequent contribution of $3.6 million to support research in genetics and human diagnostics at the facility located on the Greenwood Genetic Center campus. "Today's announcement will create a new pipeline for genetic research," said John Pillman, chairman of the Self Regional board of trustees. "The collaboration of these three partners will ultimately connect genetic therapeutics research to patients." Jim Pfeiffer, president and chief executive officer of Self Regional, said the partnership will accelerate the rate of innovation in genetic medicine. "This is what I like to call a win-win-win scenario," said Pfeiffer. Steve Skinner, director of the Greenwood Genetic Center, said such collaborations are crucial to turning research advances into clinically available therapies for patients, not only in Greenwood and across … Continue reading →

Current ratings for: 'Largest ever' trial of adult stem cells in heart attack patients begins Public / Patient: 5 1 rating Health Professionals: 0 0 ratings The largest ever trial of adult stem cell therapy in heart attack patients has begun at The London Chest Hospital in the UK. Heart disease is the world's leading cause of death. Globally, more than 17 million people died from heart disease last year. In the US, over 1 million people suffer a heart attack each year, and about half of them die. Heart attacks are usually caused by a clot in the coronary artery, which stops the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. If the blockage is not treated within a few hours, then it causes the heart muscle to die. The stem cell trial - titled "The effect of intracoronary reinfusion of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) on allcause mortality in acute myocardial infarction," or "BAMI" for short - has been made possible due to a 5.9 million ($8.1 million) award from the European Commission. The full study involves 19 partners across France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, Poland, the Czech Republic and the UK. View original post here: … Continue reading →

21.02.2014 - (idw) Ruprecht-Karls-Universitt Heidelberg Heidelberg researchers have been delving into the basic regulatory mechanisms of stem cell differentiation. Using the Drosophila melanogaster fruit fly as a model organism, the team led by Prof. Dr. Ingrid Lohmann at Heidelberg University's Centre for Organismal Studies was able to show how a special developmental gene from the Hox family influences germline stem cells. These cells are responsible for sperm formation. The scientists found that impairment of Hox gene function resulted in prematurely aged sperms.
