La Jolla's annual meeting about stem cells was once about stem cell science in San Diego, largely presented and attended by stem cell scientists in San Diego. But the Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa has grown to take on a national, or even international, flavor. Along with the growing emphasis on commercializing regenerative medicine research, companies in the field are hunting for corporate partners. And to reach the right people, they're willing to travel far. Of 35 companies and institutes presenting their technology Monday and Tuesday at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, just five are headquartered in San Diego County; 10 are headquartered elsewhere in California and 18 are from other states, along with one from the United Kingdom and one from the Netherlands. Other companies have sent representatives to scout partnering opportunities. The Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa provides a focus on regenerative medicine hard to get in other conferences, said Alexander Vos, chief executive of PharmaCell, based in Maastricht, Netherlands. The company provides contract human cell and tissue culturing services. "It makes (discussions) much more effective," Vos said. "There are clearly other conferences as well, for instance the larger BIO (Biotechnology Industry Organization) meeting, but … Continue reading →

Gov. Rick Perry pushed Friday for Texas to become the center of adult stem-cell therapy, disregarding the federal government's increasing crackdown on clinics marketing the experimental medicine. Perry told a crowd of stem-cell researchers, industry leaders and patients gathered in Houston that the young science "holds the promise of miracles" desperately needed by people across the world and suggested Texas' "wildcat spirit" and "conducive climate" can make it happen here. "I'm not shy about asking people to relocate or start up their companies in Texas," said Perry, likening stem-cell treatment to previous innovations in space and heart care. "All of you outside the state of Texas - come on in. The water's fine. We've got an amazing environment here." Perry, who famously got the unlicensed treatment for an ailing back in 2011, said the state has made sure that innovators won't be "hindered by exorbitant taxes, wrapped up by bureaucratic red tape or at the mercy of predatory attorneys, seeking to make steady money off extensive, drawn-out court cases." Perry's remarks, made at the first of a planned annual Houston conference, came as the state appears headed toward a collision with the Food and Drug Administration, which has begun stepping … Continue reading →

ScienceDaily (Nov. 1, 2012) Tendon injuries affect athletic horses at all levels. Researchers from the University of Connecticut are studying the use of stem cells in treating equine tendon injuries. Their findings were published Oct. 16 in the Journal of Animal Science Papers in Press. Tendon injuries in horses tend to worsen over time as damage to the tendon creates lesions. Currently, horse owners treat tendon injuries by resting the horse and then carefully exercising the horse to control the growth of scar tissue in the tendon. Unfortunately, this treatment does not always work. "These injuries result in lameness, which requires substantial recovery time and carry a high risk of re-injury," write authors S.A. Reed and E.R. Leahy. Stem cells injections are already common veterinary medicine, and scientists are curious how to make stem cell treatments more effective. In this paper, the authors looked at the use of three types of stem cells: bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, adipose-derived stem cells and umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells. These types of cells have the potential to strengthen a tendon after injury. Implants of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) can increase collagen production and organized collagen fibers in the tendon. Adipose-derived … Continue reading →

Public release date: 1-Nov-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Rachel Mosey rmosey@mcw.edu Medical College of Wisconsin The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) successfully competed for, and was awarded, renewal of the Stem Cell Therapeutics Outcomes Database contract with the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The CIBMTR administers the database as a key component of the national hematopoietic cell transplantation program. Hematopoietic stem cells are the cells responsible for continual regeneration of circulating blood cells throughout life; they are not embryonic stem cells. The HRSA first awarded the contract to CIBMTR in 2006 to develop and maintain the national Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database (SCTOD), which is a standardized outcomes registry of allogeneic (related and unrelated donor cells) marrow and cord blood transplants performed in the United States. Funding for the first year of this new contract is $3.8 million, with an additional four years of negotiable funding. The outcomes registry of the CIBMTR currently contains the status of 330,000 transplant recipients, as well as critical information to continually evaluate the operations of the national transplant program. All U.S. transplant centers that perform allogeneic marrow and cord blood … Continue reading →

MANILA, Philippines Its supposed to cure various illnesses such as cancer, spinal cord injury and Parkinsons disease. Is stem cell therapy the cure-all that it is touted to be? Health Undersecretary Teodoro Herbosa said it is important to note that stem cell treatments are still at the experimental stage. "The advisory is very clear. This is still an investigative form of therapy. Anecdotal reports are not enough evidence to say there is treatment, he said in an interview on ANC's Talkback with Tina Palma. He said there are only two standard stem cell therapies considered effective and acceptable to the medical community. "To date, I can only name two cases that are considered standard therapy. That is bone marrow transplantation--one for severe cancer, blood cancer and the other one is bone marrow transplantation after chemotherapy for any type of cancer, he said. Herbosa said the Department of Health cannot confirm yet if stem cell treatment is indeed effective against certain diseases. Dr. Tranquilino Elicao Jr., an oncologist who availed of the treatment in April in Frankfurt, Germany, said stem cell therapy cured his high blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol and uric acid. He had 12 injections of cells, which came from … Continue reading →

By all preliminary accounts, the first stem-cell therapy treatment done on a canine in Nicholasville is a complete success. The 8-year-old golden Labrador and service dog, Booster, had been showing signs of hip dysplasia and became the first to undergo the revolutionary new stem-cell therapy in the recently completed animal clinic of MediVet America located off U.S. 27 and Moore Drive. Booster travels all over the world with owner Davis Hawn to teach others about the healing power of dogs, Hawn said. As Booster got older, Hawn noticed the dogs hips were hurting more as Booster showed pain just trying to sit down and began to have difficulty jumping into the truck. This prompted Hawn to look into methods of protecting and helping his best friend. He did not want Booster to suffer through the long and painful process of a hip replacement, and this is when he heard about the regenerative benefits of stem-cell therapy and the work MediVet was conducting. It just so happened to work out that the pair would be in Cincinnati last week, coinciding with the opening of the new Nicholasville clinic at MediVet by Joseph G. Yocum, D.V.M., who specializes in large-animal vet research. … Continue reading →
