What the heck are mesenchymal stem cells.mp4
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Mesenchymal stem cells are cells that have pluripotential abilities. That means they can become almost any mesenchymal tissue. They are found in adult organs such as bone marrow, synovium (the lining of joints), muscle, and fat. These cells have cell surface markers that differentiates them from other cell types. http

What are the factors that make mesenchymal stem cells into cartilage
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com During the process of growth, numerous proteins provide signals that prompt mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into chondrocytes (cartilage cells.) Among these proteins are bone morphogenic protein, cartilage-derived morphogenic proteins, and fibroblast growth factors. This signaling leads to a process of transcription which is vital to the formation of cartilage. Also, the use of various scaffolds- frameworks- have shown promise. http

where are stem cells found
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Mesenchymal stem cells, cells that have potent reparative potential are located in a number of areas including deciduous teeth (baby teeth), the periosteum (the surface) of bone, fat, bone marrow, and the synovium- the lining of joints. Stem cells found in the synovial membrane have been found in one study to proliferate extensively in culture and may maintain their differentiation potential. The authors concluded these synovial membrane stem cells may play a regenerative role in arthritis. http

Mesothelioma Symptoms Cell News
Mesothelioma is a rare but deadly lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Though the symptoms of many cancers are easily identifiable, mesothelioma symptoms are subtle and can be latent for 20-50 years after initial exposure to asbestos. Mesothelioma life expectancy http is relatively short, usually only a few months after diagnosis. For unknown reasons, mesothelioma patients display high chemotherapeutic resistance. Because of this, it is hypothesized that cancer stem cells are likely to persist in malignant pleural mesothelioma tumors, leading to that resistance and post-chemotherapy relapses.

ELSC-ICNC Seminar: Tamir Ben-Hur
A lecture given by: Tamir Ben-Hur Department of Neurology, Hadassah -- Hebrew University Medical Center On the topic of: "Cell therapy for multiple sclerosis" January 3, 2013 Abstract: Neural stem cell therapy was originally thought as a means of cell replacement therapy for achieving brain repair in neurological disorders. While this still holds partly true, the discovery of their strong immunomodulatory and neurotrophic properties, has shifted the rationale for their therapeutic transplantation into using these functional properties. We will discuss the basic biology of the bi-directional interactions between stem cells and the nervous system, and clinical application of cell therapy in particular for multiple sclerosis. In addition we will present and discuss our recent findings on the functional limitations of neural stem cells which need to be considered in clinical translation.

Loring on Patient Advocates and Their Role at the California Stem Cell Agency
Posted: January 28, 2013 at 1:55 pm
The following statement by stem cell researcher Jeanne
Loring was read at the January 23, 2013, meeting of the governing board of the California stem cell agency. Loring is director
of the Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Scripps Research
Institute in La Jolla, CA.
“I am sorry that I
cannot attend this important meeting of the ICOC. I'm in Toronto
reviewing stem cell grants for Japan and Canada. I've asked (patient advocate) Don Reed

the lab. We have also been funded by CIRM to investigate stem cell
therapies for Alzheimer disease and multiple sclerosis. I have

Jeff Sheehy taught me about HIV/AIDS and patient activism, I learned

Shestack, and David Serrano-Sewell, Diane Winoker have educated me
about MS and ALS.

Patient Advocate Reed Defends Patient Advocates on Stem Cell Board
Posted: January 28, 2013 at 1:46 pm
Patient advocate Don Reed, declaring that the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) 17-month study of the $3 billion California stem cell agency is "grossly misguided," this weekend nonetheless said the agency took "the high road" in its response to the study's recommendation.
Reed, of Fremont, Ca., was particularly incensed about the IOM's recommendations concerning patient advocates on the board. The IOM said that none of the board members, including patient advocates, should vote on grant applications secretly in grant review groups. The IOM said their votes should be recorded in public at full board meetings. Other patient advocates would still have seats on the grant review group, under the IOM recommendations. But they would not also be members of the governing board.
The IOM also said that CIRM should also revise its conflict of interest standards to regulate personal conflicts of interest, such as those involving particular diseases and patient advocates. Some members of the CIRM governing board bristled at the recommendation, and the board did not act on it last week.
Last Wednesday, the CIRM board acted to permit board members who are patient advocates to continue to participate in the closed door grant review sessions, but not vote on the grants at that stage. Previously patient advocates had two cuts at applications, one in the grant review group and one at the public board meeting.
Writing on the Daily Kos blog, Reed also said that no real conflicts of interest currently exist on the board, although 90 percent of the $1.7 billion that has awarded has gone to institutions tied to board members.

Stem cells aid recovery from stroke

Stem cells from bone marrow or fat improve recovery after stroke in rats, finds a study published in BioMed Central's open access journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy. Treatment with stem cells improved the amount of brain and nerve repair and the ability of the animals to complete behavioural tasks.
Stem cell therapy holds promise for patients but there are many questions which need to be answered, regarding treatment protocols and which cell types to use. This research attempts to address some of these questions.
Rats were treated intravenously with stem cells or saline 30 minutes after a stroke. At 24 hours after stroke the stem cell treated rats showed a better functional recovery. By two weeks these animals had near normal scores in the tests. This improvement was seen even though the stem cells did not appear to migrate to the damaged area of brain. The treated rats also had higher levels of biomarkers implicated in brain repair including, the growth factor VEGF.
A positive result was seen for both fat (adipose) and bone-marrow derived stem cells. Dr Exuperio Dez-Tejedor from La Paz University Hospital, explained, "Improved recovery was seen regardless of origin of the stem cells, which may increase the usefulness of this treatment in human trials. Adipose-derived cells in particular are abundant and easy to collect without invasive surgery."
