Stem Cell Of America | Breakthrough Stem Cell Treatment

Posted: Published on February 8th, 2014

Treatment The Stem Cell treatment performed at our clinics is a painless medical procedure where Stem Cells (cellular building blocks) are usually administered intravenously and subcutaneously (under the skin). The whole procedure takes approximately one hour and has no known negative side effects.* Following the treatment, the Fetal Stem Cells will travel throughout the body, detecting damaged cells and tissue and attempts to restore them. The Fetal Stem Cells can also stimulate existing normal cells and tissues to operate at a higher level of function, boosting the bodys own repair mechanisms to aid in the healing process. These highly adaptive cells then remain in the body, continually locating and repairing any damage they encounter. As with any medical treatment, safety should be of the highest priority. The Stem Cells used in our treatment undergo extensive screening for possible infection and impurities. Utilizing tests more sophisticated than those regularly used in the United States for Stem Cell research and transplant. Our testing process ensures we use only the healthiest cells to enable the safest and most effective Fetal Stem Cell treatment possible. And, unlike other types of Stem Cells, there is no danger of the bodys rejection of Fetal Stem Cells … Continue reading →

The debate over new stem cell technique begins – Boston.com

Posted: Published on February 8th, 2014

Already, scientists in laboratories across the world have begun dipping mature cells in acid, hoping to see whether this simple intervention really can trigger a transformation into stem cells, as reported by a team of Boston and Japanese researchers last week. At the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, a number of scientists have already embarked on the experiment, which theyre informally calling stem cell ceviche, comparing it to the Latin American method of cooking seafood in lime and lemon juice. At meetings with other experts and even in casual conversation, stem cell scientists say they are exchanging surprise, doubt, and wonder about the discovery, reported in two papers in the journal Nature. The range of responses varies widely. But most scientists seem to be surprised and skeptical about the technique, though also impressed by the rigorous testing that experts in the field did on the cells. It appears that no one knows quite what to think. Paul Knoepfler, an associate professor in the department of cell biology and human anatomy at the University of California, Davis, has been blogging extensively about the discovery and polled his readers about what they think. In an unscientific poll that has drawn about 400 responses, … Continue reading →

Caregivers: Supporting the supporters

Posted: Published on February 7th, 2014

Cancer has been a painful part of Radka Lakosilovas life. From four cycles of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, to losing weight, hair and friends, shes felt every moment. But the pain she feels is secondhand. Its her 18-year-old daughter, Daniela Lakosilova, who has battled acute lymphoblastic leukemia for seven years. Radka and her husband, Petr Lakosil, who donated his stem cells for Danielas 2009 transplant, have been there for every doctors appointment, surgery and treatment. They were there when she relapsed and her boyfriend broke up with her because it was too much for him to handle. They were there to make sure her dress fit perfectly for the homecoming dance, despite her fluctuating weight. Being a cancer caregiver to someone you love so much is the hardest thing, Radka said. Not being able to make the pain go away the nausea, the emotions, the stress. Radka said she does her best to wear a brave face for Daniela and Petr, the softy of the family, but in at least two places, shes only human. I cry in the shower or when Im driving alone, she said. One parent has to be the tough one. Though, she added, … Continue reading →

Drug Companies Have Complex, Sometimes Fatal Relationship With Cancer Patients

Posted: Published on February 7th, 2014

The drug, BMN 673, is what's known as a PARP inhibitor, which targets cancerous cells while minimizing damage to normal tissue. It isdesigned specifically to treat women like Sloan who have a particular type of geneticovarian and breast cancer that presents a genetic mutation in the BRCA1 gene.Sloans doctors said it was her best and perhaps only chance to survive. The drug has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but agency officials said they would provide a waiver to her for "compassionate use" of the treatment if the drug maker gave her permission to use it. But BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., the company that manufactures the potentially life-saving treatment, refused to let her take it. On New Years Day, Sloan, a former corporate lawyer who quit her high-paying job several years ago to run an organization that provides free legal services for low-income victims of domestic violence, died of complications from pneumonia. She was 45. Andrea very much wanted to live, but she also wanted to make a difference for other patients out there who may not have the resources she had to put up such a public fight, said Michelle Wittenburg, Sloans closest friend, who's an … Continue reading →

Toxin from brain cells triggers neuron loss in human ALS model

Posted: Published on February 7th, 2014

In most cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, a toxin released by cells that normally nurture neurons in the brain and spinal cord can trigger loss of the nerve cells affected in the disease, Columbia researchers reported today in the online edition of the journal Neuron. The toxin is produced by star-shaped cells called astrocytes and kills nearby motor neurons. In ALS, the death of motor neurons causes a loss of control over muscles required for movement, breathing, and swallowing. Paralysis and death usually occur within 3 years of the appearance of first symptoms. The report follows the researchers' previous study, which found similar results in mice with a rare, genetic form of the disease, as well as in a separate study from another group that used astrocytes derived from patient neural progenitor cells. The current study shows that the toxins are also present in astrocytes taken directly from ALS patients. "I think this is probably the best evidence we can get that what we see in mouse models of the disease is also happening in human patients," said the study's senior author, Serge Przedborski, MD, PhD, the Page and William Black Professor of Neurology (in … Continue reading →
