Even MORE ACTIVE FAULTS under NUCLEAR PLANTS Fukushima upda – Video

Posted: Published on December 4th, 2012

Even MORE ACTIVE FAULTS under NUCLEAR PLANTS Fukushima upda As Stated in the previous video dated yesterday, http://www.youtube.com with the Ohi Nuclear power plant in Japan CURRENTLY the Only OnLine Nuclear power plant (2 currently on line-running) (while geologists study whether the fault line running directly between 2 of 4 Online Reactors is ACTIVE (yet Again "or not"), Geologists visit the Tsuruga Nuclear power plant on the West coast of Japan. INDEED, THEY CONCLUDE THE FAULT LINE IS PROBABLY - MOST LIKELY ACTIVE. Yes, you heard that correctly, ACTIVE FAULT RUNNING DIRECTLY UNDER A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. How long will it take before they can/choose to decommission it? Well, power and greed will dictate that. Remember, it's taking a year and 3/4 so far to Coax these Scientists into Releasing the Data they have been collecting from the Pacific Ocean. There is a Big Problem "scaring" the public.

Stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons rescue motor defects in Parkinsonian monkeys

Posted: Published on December 4th, 2012

ScienceDaily (Dec. 3, 2012) Researchers have derived dopaminergic neurons from bone marrow stem cells in monkeys. Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that is characterized by tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty walking. It is caused by loss of the neurons that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine (known as dopaminergic neurons). One of the primary goals in Parkinson's disease research is to develop a replacement for dopaminergic neurons. In a new study, researchers led by Takuya Hayashi at the RIKEN Center for Molecular Imaging Science in Kobe, Japan, derived dopaminergic neurons from bone marrow stem cells in monkeys. The cells were retrieved during a standard bone marrow aspiration and then treated with growth factors that directed the stem cells to become dopaminergic neurons. The monkeys that donated the stem cells were treated with a chemical to induce Parkinson's disease and then received a transplant of the new dopaminergic neurons that had been derived from their own bone marrow stem cells. Monkeys that received the transplant showed significant improvement in motor defects. This study demonstrates that dopaminergic neurons derived from adult bone marrow stem cells can be safely used to improve motor function in Parkinson's disease … Continue reading

World Stem Cell Summit puts Palm Beach County on display

Posted: Published on December 4th, 2012

For the first time, the World Stem Cell Summit will be held in Palm Beach County, from today through Wednesday at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach. Top scientists will present results from clinical trials, participate in panel discussions and explain to fellow scientists how to obtain funding despite legal obstacles. Philanthropists can learn how and when to invest in stem cell research. It certainly makes a statement that Palm Beach County is an industry player in biosciences, said Kelly Smallridge, president of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County. The BDB held an opening reception for the summit Sunday evening. Among the participating organizers are the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope, Swedens renowned Karolinska Institute and the Institute for Integrated Cell Material Sciences at Japans Kyoto University, according to the nonprofit Genetics Policy Institute, the event host. The establishment of biotech research facilities in Palm Beach County by the La Jolla, Calif.-based Scripps Research Institute and Germanys Max Planck Society most likely played a role in luring the event here, Smallridge said. More than 1,000 scientists are registered … Continue reading

UA professor furthers stem cell research

Posted: Published on December 4th, 2012

By SARAH-JAYNE SIMON Published December 2, 2012 at 9:46pm Updated December 2, 2012 at 9:46pm A UA professor has been recognized for his work as a pioneer in stem cell banking. David Harris, professor of immunobiology, was awarded the Arizona BioIndustry Association 2012 award for 20 Years of Discovery and Innovation. Harris recognition is the culmination of decades of work in the field of stem cell research. Harris came to the UA 23 years ago from the University of North Carolina and said he was interested in improving the bone marrow transplant process. As a result, he began to use a process called cord blood banking. In 1991, Harris became the first person to bank stem cells for future use, which includes saving them for future treatments. Its nice to end up being recognized for something that you have worked on for a long time, Harris said. Taking something and making it important for everyday life for people to improve their life is amazing. From starting with animal models and moving to human beings is huge; its nice to see it go from one point to another. Harris said he banked stem cells for future use by preserving his first … Continue reading

Scientists in town for stem cell summit

Posted: Published on December 4th, 2012

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Sabrina Cohen may wheel from booth to booth with a smile on her face but she hates being confined to a chair. Her injuries are the result of a car accident when she was a teenager. "The other car lost control hit the car that I was in and we slammed into a car then hit a tree and I became an instant quadriplegic," Cohen said. She was paralyzed from the neck down. "I went from a completely healthy independent teenager to someone who was completely dependent on full time help," Cohen said. Over the years, she's made strides. She hopes scientists at the World Stem Cell Summit help her make even more. "By bringing everybody together and uniting everybody I think we're accelerating the pace to coming to the conclusions that we're looking for," Cohen said. In her case, she hopes it allows her to walk again. Some of the biggest names in stem cell research are here. Read the original: Scientists in town for stem cell summit … Continue reading

Health Canada Approves KALYDECO™ (ivacaftor), the First Medicine to Treat the Underlying Cause of Cystic Fibrosis in …

Posted: Published on December 4th, 2012

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESSWIRE)-- Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq:VRTX - News) announced today that Health Canada has approved KALYDECOTM (ivacaftor), the first medicine to treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), for people ages 6 and older who have at least one copy of the G551D mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Cystic fibrosis is a rare genetic disease for which there is no cure. It is caused by a defective or missing CFTR protein resulting from mutations in the CFTR gene. In people with the G551D mutation, KALYDECO (kuh-LYE-deh-koh) helps the defective or missing CFTR protein function more normally. Approximately 100 people in Canada with CF are believed to have this mutation. KALYDECO is an important step toward our ultimate goal of developing new medicines that target the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis for more people with this life-shortening disease, said Peter Mueller, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice President of Global Research and Development at Vertex. We are working closely with federal, provincial and territorial governments and private health insurers to bring KALYDECO to all eligible Canadians with cystic fibrosis who have the G551D mutation. KALYDECO is a fundamental shift in the way cystic fibrosis … Continue reading
