Kan. kangaroo gets stem cell treatment

Posted: Published on February 2nd, 2013

SALINA, Kan. (AP) - A kangaroo at a central Kansas wildlife refuge has undergone a stem cell treatment to repair an injured leg. The Salina Journal reports (http://bit.ly/WDe3ar ) that vets at Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure performed the procedure Wednesday on the 6-year-old female red kangaroo. The operation was performed by Dr. Danelle Okeson, the zoo's veterinarian, and Dr. Larry Snyder, veterinarian from the University Bird and Small Animal Clinic in Topeka. The procedure was intended to regenerate a damaged joint that was causing the kangaroo to hobble around on one leg and her tail. Snyder says stem cell therapy has been a viable treatment for humans for decades but has only recently been used on animals, mostly house pets and horses. A refuge official says it may take days for zoo officials to notice any improvement. Information from: The Salina (Kan.) Journal, http://www.salina.com Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

CellTex Says It's Moving Its Stem Cell Business to Mexico

Posted: Published on February 2nd, 2013

CellTex Therapeutics, the Houston company that opened one of the first commercial stem-cell labs in the country in 2011, then closed it after a warning from regulators last fall, issued surprising news this week. The company sent its patients a cheery e-mail saying that it is going to be working with doctors in Mexicoinstead of the U.S.to provide its unapproved treatment. We are happy to report we are bringing this technology to Mexico, CellTex wrote in its note. We anticipate that we will be able to offer our stem cell therapy services to physicians in Mexico starting very soon! These winter-time trips to beautiful, sunny locations in Mexico to build these relationships have been an added benefit! The company declined to comment further. CellTex, whose adventures I chronicled early in January, also said it is opening a new research lab in Houston (its original lab had been cited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for having major manufacturing problems) and hoped to begin clinical trials under FDA supervision. Looks like the showdown with the feds is over for now. CellTex had been charging patients up to $30,000 for its treatments. First, a doctor would remove two teaspoons of fat … Continue reading →

Lady Receives Stemlogix Stem Cell Therapy Lady received Stemlogix stem cell therapy to help with her severe arthritis in her hips! Watch Dr. Whalen, of LePar Animal Hospital in Evergreen Park, perform surgery and Stem Cell Therapy on Lady Bender, a 5 year old Mastiff with severe arthritis in the hips. Dr. Whalen has been treating her for severe arthritis since June of 2011. Lady's condition was acute as she was not able to get up on her own. Lady was also overweight and gradually lost 20 lbs under Dr. Whalen's care. The video also shows the process for Stem Cell Therapy, the collection and re-injection phase. Stem cells are harvested using the dog's own fat tissue, then processed in-hospital and then re-injected into the joints that need it most. Concurrently to the Stem Cell treatment, Lady also undergoes cruciate ligament repair. Dr. Whalen is the first veterinarian in Illinois to perform stem cell therapy in-house.

A bit of history about stem cells – Video

Posted: Published on February 2nd, 2013

A bit of history about stem cells http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Early work by Friedenstein and associates provided intriguing information on the potential for bone marrow to differentiate into stem cells. They cultured bone marrow cells and removed cells that didn't appear to adhere to each other. After further culture, they found that the most adherent cells were spindle shaped and resembled deposits of cartilage and bone. Other groups confirmed the findings and they found that these cells were multipotent and could differentiate into bone cells, cartilage cells, fat cells, and muscle cells. The name they gave to these multipotent cells was "mesenchymal stem cells." http By: Nathan Wei … Continue reading →

One of the best kept secrets- Why is stem cell plasticity so important for arthritis treatment?.mp4 – Video

Posted: Published on February 2nd, 2013

One of the best kept secrets- Why is stem cell plasticity so important for arthritis treatment?.mp4 http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com The blood contains cells with many forms and functions. The ultimate source of these cells is called the hematopoetic stem cell or HSC for short. One feature of an HSC is self- renewal, the ability to divide and still remain a stem cell. HSCs can also differentiate into more mature cells and this transformation is driven by cytokines (protein messengers) and growth factors. The best known source for HSCs is bone marrow. Along with HSCs in the marrow are other stem cells, the mesenchymal stem cells or MSCs. Multiple experiments have shown that HSCs are very plastic, meaning they can be coaxed into helping with the regeneration and repair of non-blood tissue. This has led to the idea that "adult" HSCs and MSCs, if placed in the proper environment can serve as a "repair shop" for connective tissues such as cartilage, muscle, and tendon, ligament, and bone. This property of plasticity makes stem cell repair and treatment of arthritis in the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle, hand, and other regions possible. http By: Nathan Wei … Continue reading →
