Scientists unexpectedly discover stress-resistant stem cells in fat tissue removed during liposuction

Posted: Published on June 5th, 2013

June 5, 2013 Researchers from the UCLA Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology have isolated a new population of primitive, stress-resistant human pluripotent stem cells easily derived from fat tissue that are able to differentiate into virtually every cell type in the human body without genetic modification. The cells, called Multi-lineage Stress-Enduring (Muse-AT) stem cells from fat, or adipose, tissue, were discovered by "scientific accident" when a piece of equipment failed in the lab, killing all the stem cells in the experiment except for the Muse-AT cells. The research team further discovered that not only are Muse-AT cells able to survive severe stress, they may even be activated by it, said study senior author Gregorio Chazenbalk, an associate researcher with UCLA Obstetrics and Gynecology. These pluripotent cells, isolated from fat tissue removed during liposuction, expressed many embryonic stem cell markers and were able to differentiate into muscle, bone, fat, cardiac, neuronal and liver cells. An examination of their genetic characteristics confirmed their specialized functions, as well as their capacity to regenerate tissue when transplanted back into the body following their "awakening." "This population of cells lies dormant in the fat tissue until it is subjected to very harsh conditions. These cells … Continue reading

Singer targets stem cell donors

Posted: Published on June 5th, 2013

4 June 2013 Last updated at 14:32 ET By David Cornock BBC Wales Parliamentary correspondent Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Mike Peters played at parliament as some MPs signed the donor register Mike Peters is a survivor. Lead singer of The Alarm since 1981, he's had 15 UK Top 40 hits and sold more than five million records. He's also a cancer survivor, twice, and in that role he came to parliament today as part of a drive to increase the number of stem cell donors. A day after receiving chemotherapy treatment near his home in north Wales, he headed to Westminster for the launch of "Get On The List", a campaign to recruit potential donors. MPs were targeted at a donor registration event in the hope that they would encourage others to register to help blood cancer patients. The campaign sees Peters' Love Hope Strength Foundation join forces with Delete Blood Cancer UK charity, which says that half the people in Britain who need a life-saving stem cell donor don't actually find a suitable match. People are realising that one day it could be someone that they know who needs a stem cell donor, The … Continue reading

West Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) June 04, 2013 Thirty days at an inpatient treatment center is rarely enough time to truly treat the physical, emotional and mental trauma that addiction can create.

Cholesterol Drugs Linked to Muscle, Joint Problems: Study

Posted: Published on June 5th, 2013

By Steven Reinberg HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, June 3 (HealthDay News) -- People taking statin drugs to lower their cholesterol may slightly increase their risk for muscle and joint diseases as well as strains and sprains, a new study suggests. Statins, such as Zocor and Lipitor, are widely used to reduce cholesterol levels and help prevent heart disease. But they're also thought to contribute to muscle weakness, muscle cramps and tendon problems. This new study, based on nearly 14,000 U.S. active-duty soldiers and veterans, confirmed an association between the drugs' use and musculoskeletal injuries and diseases. But the findings need to be replicated in other types of studies and should not deter people at risk of heart disease from taking the medications, said lead researcher Dr. Ishak Mansi, from the VA North Texas Health Care System in Dallas. "Do not stop taking statins; these medications have been life-savers for some patients," Mansi said. "But talk to your doctor about the benefit-risk ratio for you." Whether statins should be prescribed universally in people without risk factors for heart disease, as some in the health care field suggest, is another matter, Mansi said. "The side effects of statins are not totally known yet," … Continue reading
