Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy Following Knee Surgery May …

Posted: Published on February 7th, 2014

The Orthobiologic Institute (TOBI) alumni , Thomas Vangsness Jr M.D., recently published a ground-breaking article examining the intra-articular application of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) following partial medial meniscectomy, a common knee surgery where part of the damaged meniscus is removed on the inner portion of the knee joint. This study examined the effects of MSCs on post-operative regeneration of meniscus tissue and changes in Osteoarthritis symptoms. The study consisted of 55 patients who underwent a partial medial meniscectomy, and received one of three different intra-articular kneeinjections 7-10 days post-operatively. Patients received either a high concentration of MSCs, low concentration, or a control. The patients were followed for 2 years and assessed for overall clinical outcomes, meniscal regeneration, and safety.The study revealed significantly increased meniscal volume (>15% increase), quantified via MRI, in both the high concentration and low concentration groups. However, more meniscus growth was seen the low concentration group. No patients in the control group reached the clinically significant 15% increase in meniscal volume. Furthermore, patients with existing osteoarthritis, experienced a reduction in pain compared the control group. This article represents a ground-breaking study in the use of biological cell therapy, also known as Orthobiologics, for post-operative healing and tissue … Continue reading

Experimental procedure uses stem cells made from body fat

Posted: Published on February 7th, 2014

CLEVELAND, OH Whod have ever thought something as unappealing as body fat could be useful much less lifesaving, right? I think this will revolutionize medicine if it works, says Dr. Mark Foglietti of the Stem Cell Center of Ohio. It turns out, fat is highly regenerative and rich in stem cells, Warren Buffett rich, having 2,500 times more stem cells than bone marrow. And these are Mesenchymal stem cells. Mesenchymal meaning theyre able to change into whatever type of tissue theyre attracted to. So doctors in Cleveland are trying an experimental procedure on Multiple Sclerosis patient Kym Sellers, She was saying Dad, if I could only just get the use of my hands. If I can just use my hands, I can comb my hair. I can feed myself. Doctors liposuction fat from Sellers, take the stem cells and mix in a biological potpourri called Stromal Vascular Fraction or SVF. The cells are supposed to act like a rescue squad responding to an emergency (they find damage to the body and repair it). Dr. Foglietti happily tells his patient, We have 7ccs. We have 39 million stem cells! The SVF is then reintroduced into Kyms body intravenously. You just want … Continue reading

Scientists move closer to stem cell cure for Type 1 …

Posted: Published on February 7th, 2014

By Sarah Boseley, The Guardian Thursday, February 6, 2014 19:09 EST Researchers say they have reversed equivalent of type 1 diabetes in mice using stem cell transplants Scientists believe they may have moved a step closer to a cure for the type of diabetes that develops in childhood and usually leads to a lifetime of insulin injections. Researchers in California report that they have reversed the equivalent of type 1 diabetes in mice through transplants of stem cells. Their experiments have replaced cells in the pancreas damaged by the disease that are unable to make insulin. Without insulin, the body has difficulty absorbing sugars such as glucose from the blood. The disease usually first shows in childhood or early adulthood and used to be a killer, but glucose levels can now be monitored and regulated with insulin injections. Scientists have long wanted to try to replace the damaged -cells that normally produce insulin. This has been one of the prime targets of stem cell experiments. But until now, it has proved difficult, partly because mature -cells do not readily regenerate. Writing in the journal Cell Stem Cell, scientists at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco describe how they took a … Continue reading

Stem cells cultivated without using human or animal cells

Posted: Published on February 7th, 2014

Current ratings for: Stem cells cultivated without using human or animal cells Public / Patient: 3.7 (6 votes) Health Professionals: 4.5 (2 votes) Previously, stem cells have been cultivated using animal proteins or by growing them from other human cells. Both methods come with associated problems. But, according to a study published in the journal Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers have now identified a new method for cultivating stem cells. Stem cells are a kind of cell that are able to divide or self-renew indefinitely. This allows the stem cell to generate into a range of different cell types for the organ that they originate from, or they may even be able to regenerate the whole organ. Because of this, scientists are interested in using stem cells in a range of medical treatments, to replenish damaged tissue in the brain or skin, or as a treatment for diseases of the blood. In adults, these stem cells have been found in tissues such as the brain, bone marrow, blood, blood vessels, skeletal muscles, skin and liver. Adult stem cells only become "activated" and start dividing and generating new cells when their host tissue becomes damaged by disease or injury. A more … Continue reading

Director of Women's Guild Lung Institute Awarded Stem Cell Grant to Study Treatment for Lung Disease

Posted: Published on February 7th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise LOS ANGELES (Feb. 6, 2014) A Cedars-Sinai research team led by Paul W. Noble, MD, chair of the Department of Medicine and director of the Women's Guild Lung Institute, has been awarded $628,816 by Californias stem cell agency to develop a treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a deadly disease that destroys the lungs and damages other vital organs. The illness, which has no cure and few effective treatments, thickens and hardens lung tissue, leaving the organs badly scarred. Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis have great difficulty breathing and the chronic reduction in oxygen damages vital organs. The cause of the disease is not clearly understood and many people live only three to five years after diagnosis. Lung fibrosis occurs when the lung is unable to repair itself properly after injury or infection, said Noble. Some people are more susceptible to developing fibrosis, and we currently dont understand why the normal repair and renewal of lung cells stops occurring in these patients. The two-year study will build upon preliminary research completed at Cedars-Sinai by Noble and physician researcher Dianhua Jiang, MD, PhD. They uncovered important clues to the precise way normal lung stem … Continue reading

Stem Cell Therapy for Feline Kidney Disease, a Video Testimonial by a Pleased Pet Owner Gives Hope for Cats Suffering …

Posted: Published on February 7th, 2014

Poway, CA (PRWEB) February 06, 2014 Stem Cell Therapy for Feline Kidney Disease is a special interest piece produced by Nicky Sims, the owner of Kitters, who recently had Vet-Stem Regenerative Cell Therapy for his Feline Kidney Disease. Nicky highlights Kitters journey through diagnosis of the disease and his recent stem cell therapy, as well as educating about stem cells and their benefits. Nickys film explains that Kitters began showing signs of kidney failure at the age of 15, exhibiting classic symptoms; lack of appetite, excessive thirst, nausea and lethargy. In 2012, Kitters was officially diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure, or kidney disease. He was prescribed a low protein diet and subcutaneous fluids for rehydration. This has been the standard treatment for decades although it has only been shown to slow the progression of the disease; not reverse it. Dr. Richter at Montclair Veterinary Hospital thinks that there is something else that can help. In recent years, his hospital has begun using stem cells to treat animals for various orthopedic conditions such as pain from arthritis and dysplasia. In October 2013, Kitters would be the first cat he had treated with stem cell therapy for Feline Kidney Disease. Dr. Richter … Continue reading
