Stem cell center to open next month

Posted: Published on July 6th, 2013

BSALIM, Lebanon: In April, a German medical team reported that it successfully treated a 2-year-old boy with cerebral palsy using intravenous stem cells from his umbilical cord more than four years after he emerged from cardiac arrest paralyzed and in a coma. Also this spring, doctors in Illinois performed a windpipe transplant on a 2-year-old girl using lungs grown from her own stem cells; scientists used stem cells to regenerate teeth and damaged liver tissue in mice; and researchers in Ireland completed a preclinical trial using stem cells to heal diabetic foot ulcers, which leads to amputation in nearly half of middle-aged patients. Since the late 1990s, doctors at AUH, the Makassed Medical Center, and other major health care facilities across the country have routinely used stem cells from the bone marrow of patients and donors to treat blood diseases such as leukemia. They have also ventured into more experimental regenerative therapies for liver cirrhosis, cardiac infarctions, infertility, spinal cord injuries and even multiple sclerosis, with varying degrees of success. Cosmetic surgeons in Lebanon regularly use adult stem cells from fatty tissue to augment breasts, buttocks and lips, stimulate hair growth, and remove stretch marks, burns and under-eye circles.

Stem cell therapy can be done in PH — PMA President

Posted: Published on July 6th, 2013

Manila, Philippines -- Philippine Medical Association (PMA) President Dr. Leo Olarte said yesterday Filipinos need not go abroad or seek foreign consultation if they want to undergo stem cell therapy to cure an ailment. Olarte warned of the risks and complications involved in stem cell therapy when improperly administered, citing the case of a government official who complained of feeling weak after the procedure was performed on him by a group of foreign medical team inside a posh hotel in Mandaluyong City. The PMA chief said there are local experts who are capable of performing safe and reliable stem cell treatments in the country using the patient's own stem cells. The other day, a lawyer for Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) Chairman Antonio Villar faced the media and revealed that her client is filing charges against the foreign medical team who performed the procedure on him. Lawyer Claire Pagayanan said the lead doctor who performed the stem cell therapy was from Germany while the other two doctors and nurses who assisted him were from Thailand. Villar reportedly paid 15,000 euros or approximately P1.2 million for the procedure. "Doctors who perform this therapy should be licensed by the Philippine Food and Drugs … Continue reading →

First human liver made from stem cells

Posted: Published on July 6th, 2013

Kounteya Sinha, TNN Jul 5, 2013, 05.00AM IST LONDON: Japanese scientists have for the first time grown a functional human liver tissue from stem cells. The breakthrough opens up the possibility of growing human organs in the lab, thus paving way for ending critical shortage of donor organs. Though it could take a decade to actually grow organs on a large scale for transplants, the latest study by Japanese scientists using stem cells derived from skin and blood are being looked at as "proof of concept." Takanori Takebe and Hideki Taniguchi at Yokohama City University showed the generation of vascularized and functional human liver from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) by transplantation of in-vitro grown liver buds (rudimentary liver). This study also demonstrates a proof-of-concept that organ bud transplantation can be an alternative approach for treating organ failure by generating a 3D and vascularized organ. Critical shortage of donor organs for treating end-stage organ failure highlights the urgent need for generating organs from pluripotent stem cells. Despite many reports describing functional "cell" differentiation, no studies so far have succeeded in generating a three-dimensional vascularized "organ" such as liver so far, according to the researchers. This study, published in the journal … Continue reading →
