The Latest Research Behind Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells first became a point of medical research in 1998 when a medical paper suggested they could be sourced from human umbilical cords. As research continued, it became clear these umbilical cells can evolve into more advanced cells. Now, medical professionals and researchers are gaining a clearer understanding of the many ways stem cells can be used to heal the human body.

While there is still some ethical debate around stem cell research, continued advancements in technology have demonstrated the powerful influence of these stem cells in healthcare practice. If youre hesitant about undergoing the revolutionary stem cell therapy, its understandable. Stem cell research doesnt have much public attention, and it can be hard to differentiate myth from fact.

Much of the confusion about stem cell therapy is around whether or not this research is ethical. Umbilical cord stem cells are harvested with parental permission from umbilical cords after birth. The stem cells found in the umbilical cord are similar to those found in bone marrow, and they are used to regenerate many types of specialized cells. Harvesting these cells does not harm the baby or the mother in any way and would have otherwise been a biological waste. There are other types of stem cells like multipotent cells which are found in adult tissue like fat and embryonic stem cells which are from human embryos. As of right now, umbilical cord stem cells are the only legal option for stem cell treatment.

Many leading research centers and health organizations have conducted research on stem cell therapy. The key to deciding if this treatment is right for you understanding how stem cell technology works. Review our Frequently Asked Questions about stem cells to have all your questions answered! Below are useful resources on stem cells to enlighten your understanding of stem cell therapy.

The intellectual exchange between human genetics and biomedical science has produced some of the most important and fruitful scientific discoveries of the past 50 years. The advances in human genetics and genomics made possible by the Human Genome Project and its aftermath have revolutionized the way scientific investigation is carried out in the areas of human disease and its animal models. In addition, the elucidation of the genetic contribution to literally thousands of human diseases has provided innumerable fundamental insights into normal biological function.

Many laboratories at UCSF use genetic approaches to untangle problems as diverse as infertility, cancer, adverse drug reactions, asthma, autism, birth defects, neurological diseases, obesity, diabetes and many others. Our faculty are leaders in the development of cutting-edge genome technologies including microarrays, comparative genome hybridization (CGH), whole-genome sequencing, population genetics, genetic epidemiology and computational genomics. They also use model organisms to discover and explore fundamental pathways that can lead to human disease.

All entering BMS Students take a core Genetics course (BMS 255) and can opt to take a seminar course BMS270 entitled Disease Discovery through the Lens of Genetics offered every other spring. Through the UCSF Institute for Human Genetics, students can interact with numerous genetic-oriented faculty and attend monthly genetic and genomic technology seminars.

Overview

The Division of Molecular Genetics and the Leibel Laboratory focus on the genetics of obesity and non-insulin dependent diabetes (diabetes mellitus type 2). The laboratory has mapped, cloned, and identified mutations in the obese, diabetes, and fatty genes in humans, rats, and mice, and focuses on defining the physiological basis by which signaling networks regulate body size and composition. The laboratory is also the Molecular Biology Core laboratory of the New York Obesity Research Center and the Columbia Diabetes Research Center.

Members of the lab are experts in the use of naturally occurring and transgenic rodent models to identify candidate molecules, and in vetting these candidates in large numbers of human subjects using high throughput methods (SNP detection, copy number analysis, and high throughput sequencing).

The division also co-administers research activities for the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center, making this a division that operates across many scientific and administrative areas of the university.

Programs and centers include:

The Division of Molecular Genetics provides opportunities for graduate students to receive training and mentorships leading to a doctorate degree. Interested students who have been accepted into the Columbia University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences can rotate through our laboratories before deciding whether to consider their research projects in our labs under the mentorship of our faculty.

Frontiers in Diabetes Research provides fellowship awards to post docs and awards to research scholars based on a competitive application process. Award recipients receive awards for one year, with the opportunity to continued research support for a second year. This program includes an annual topic-specific research symposium.

Russell Berrie Obesity Research Initiative (Leibel and Zuker) provides awards to senior investigators for research projects in the area of neuroscience of ingestive behavior and body weight regulation. Additional awards are made for and feasibility studies. There is a competitive application process each year. Awards may be made for one year, with the opportunity for a second year of funding.

The Molecular Genetics Fellowship is a non-ACGME accredited program that provides opportunities for postdoctoral training in the genetic basis for monogenic or complex medical and physiological phenotypes using both human and animal models. Areas of special interest are obesity, types 1 and 2 diabetes, MODY, breast cancer, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies, inherited arrhythmias, congenital diaphragmatic hernias, oral clefts, and spinal muscular atrophy.
