But now researchers think that adding stem cells at the same time could eventually make heart transplants obsolete. Allan Isaacs, 71, had congestive heart failure, which made it difficult to perform basic tasks such as walking, breathing and eating. But after getting a left ventricular assist device put in his chest, he got moving again. The LVAD helps pump oxygen-rich blood throughout the body, but Isaccs' recovery may also have to do with the fact that his treatment included injections of his own bone marrow stem cells. Isaacs is taking part in a cutting-edge study at the University of Minnesota. "We isolate the stem cells and when they go in for surgery we inject those cells on the heart wall," said Dr.Ganesh Raveendran, director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. One-third of the patients receive a placebo, and the rest get 10 injections of stem cells into their hearts. Muscle tissue … Continue reading →

Researchers have unravelled a previously unknown mechanism for regulating the activity of genes. Researchers from the Gene and Stem Cell Therapy Program at Sydney's Centenary Institute have confirmed that, far from being "junk", the 97 per cent of human DNA that does not encode instructions for making proteins can play a significant role in controlling cell development. And in doing so, the researchers have unravelled a previously unknown mechanism for regulating the activity of genes, increasing our understanding of the way cells develop and opening the way to new possibilities for therapy. Using the latest gene sequencing techniques and sophisticated computer analysis, a research group led by Professor John Rasko AO and including Centenary's Head of Bioinformatics, Dr William Ritchie, has shown how particular white blood cells use non-coding DNA to regulate the activity of a group of genes that determines their shape and function. The work is published today in the scientific journal Cell. "This discovery, involving what was previously referred to as "junk", opens up a new level of gene expression control that could also play a role in the development of many other tissue types," Rasko says. "Our observations were quite surprising and they open entirely new … Continue reading →

A world-class research and treatment centre that will specialise in using the bodys own blood cells to heal sports injuries and arthritis is planned for Queenstown within the year according to one of the worlds leading experts on Stem Cell Therapy. Speaking at the New Zealand College of Appearance Medicine Conference in Queenstown yesterday (Thursday August 1), Professor Boyd said Queenstown was at the forefront of Platelet Rich Plasma therapy in the country and was an "obvious choice" to expand into Stem Cell Therapy. Used in the USA for ten years and Australia for five years, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is already available in New Zealand thanks to Queenstown Regenerative Medicine (QRM) an internationally-linked Queenstown clinic. Endorsed worldwide by global sports superstars such as Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant, PRP is a process by which a small amount of blood is taken from the patient and then spun in a centrifuge which automatically produces PRP (blood plasma with a concentrated amount of platelets). Platelets are the bloods "ambulance, containing over 20 factors important for tissue repair and keeping the body healthy. The process takes about 15 to 20 minutes and increases the concentration of platelets by up to 500%. The … Continue reading →
