International Stem Cell Corporation Advances Parkinson's Disease Program Towards IND Stage

Posted: Published on September 10th, 2013

CARLSBAD, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 9, 2013) - International Stem Cell Corporation (OTCQB: ISCO) (www.internationalstemcell.com), a California-based biotechnology company developing novel stem cell-based therapies, announced today further progress in its Parkinson's disease program with a recently held key opinion leader meeting facilitated by the study's principal investigator, Dr. Mark Stacy of Duke Medicine. The meeting was a significant step towards clinical studies to evaluate the use of stem cell-derived neuronal cells to treat Parkinson's disease (PD). By bringing together leading experts from throughout North America in the field of cell therapy and movement disorders, ISCO gains critical feedback and guidance that can be included in the final pre-clinical primate studies and the design of the first-in-man study, which is expected to begin in 2014. "This is an interesting new approach for the treatment of PD," said Stacy, Vice Dean for Clinical Research, Neurology at Duke University School of Medicine. "This meeting increases the chances of a successful clinical outcome by allowing us to not only build on previous studies, but also gain in-depth insight from some of the principal clinicians and neurosurgeons working in this field." The participants, consisting of a number of pre-eminent clinicians, some of whom have conducted cell … Continue reading →

Will you consider stem cell therapy for your child with autism?

Posted: Published on September 9th, 2013

There is no doubt that parents of persons with autism will exhaust all possible means to look for ways to improve the lives of their children. Some will even look for the ''cure'' at all costs literally, especially if they can afford it. The buzz word for possible autism cure these last few years is stem cell therapy, a medical intervention that involves extracting the body's repair cells and injecting them back to the body to replace old cells. The controversies about this therapy as autism ''cure'' include its high cost. Angels Talk recently asked parent members of Autism Society Philippines the following question: If money was not an issue, will you consider stem cell therapy for your child with autism? Some were willing to take the chance while others were either cautious of trying ''cures'' that still need to be validated, or consider their children's autism as a gift. Here are some of their sentiments. ''Yes, I would. Whatever will help my nine-year old Sean, I will take the chance. I accept Sean and his condition but not everyone is accepting of autism. If stem cell therapy will give Sean a chance to enjoy life like an average kid, … Continue reading →

Man Copes with Retinitis Pigmentosa

Posted: Published on September 8th, 2013

The National Institutes of Health defines retinitis pigmentosa (RP) as an eye disease involving damage of the retina. The disease often runs in families. Symptoms can include decreased night and peripheral vision, and in advanced cases, central vision loss. Todd Williams reads this column in the Middlesboro (Ky.) Daily News. Besides having RP the last 28 years, he was born with spina bifida and has a meniscus tear in one knee further affecting his ability to get around. "I first noticed something wasn't right when I was student teaching at age 22," said 50-year-old Williams of having RP. "While I was teaching, literally rows of desks just started disappearing right before my eyes. I thought I was losing my mind. It didn't make sense that I could see those desks (peripherally) one minute and then the next they were gone." An eye doctor first thought hydrocephalus related to his having spina bifida was causing his eye problems. By age 25 due to RP, and after being diagnosed, he had almost lost his entire visual field. He could see only five degrees in each eye and was unable to drive an automobile, even with the purchase then of a special pair … Continue reading →

Multiple Sclerosis Therapeutics Market to 2019 – Treatment Diversification and Pipeline Innovation to Drive Growth …

Posted: Published on September 8th, 2013

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) September 08, 2013 The global multiple sclerosis therapeutics market has the potential to grow to a value of $17.9 billion by 2019. The market is currently led by Copaxone, which achieved global sales of $4 billion in 2012. Over the forecast period 20122019, a variety of new drugs are due to enter the market that will offer a vast improvement in efficacy but also convenience, as many of these drugs are orally administered. Additionally, a high number of monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) are due to enter the market and diversify it in terms of its portfolio for late stage or aggressive MS. All of these drugs have been shown to offer substantial improvements over current therapies. The price of these new therapies is expected to be high, particularly for the mAbs, but this is unlikely to hinder their uptake. Scope of the report Multiple Sclerosis Therapeutics to 2019 Treatment Diversification, Increasing Efficacy, and Pipeline Innovation Combine to Drive Growth (http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/multiple-sclerosis-therapeutics-to-2019-treatment-diversification-increasing-efficacy-and-pipeline-innovation-combine-to-drive-growth-market-report.html) covers: A brief introduction to MS, including the diseases history, pathogenesis, risk factors and diagnosis. In-depth analysis of the eight major disease-modifying drugs for MS, including analyses of their safety, efficacy, treatment patterns and strengths/weaknesses. Includes a heat … Continue reading →
