ELSC-ICNC Seminar: Daniela Kaufer
A lecture given by: Daniela Kaufer Department of Integrative Biology Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, UC Berkeley On the topic of: "The role of adult hippocampal stem cells in stress, fear and emotional memory" Thursday, December 20, 2012 Abstract: While the developing brain often receives the most credit for ability to change in response to the environment, the adult CNS is also characterized by a great deal of plasticity. The ability to create new cells - known as neurogenesis and gliogenesis -- is one of the most unique and intriguing aspects of adult CNS plasticity both because it reveals a unique cell population that continues to proliferate beyond development and because it is highly sensitive to environmental input. In this seminar I will present recent research efforts in my lab studying the regulation of adult stem cell in the hippocampus -- their proliferation, differentiation, functional maturation and integration into existing circuitry, and their involvement in stress, fear, and potential to influence mental health.

Getting My Stem Cells Part 2
They told us it would be anti-climactic and it was. Everyone else seemed to be excited...or at least interested. I kind of dozed through the excitement because of all the benadryl they gave me.

The Cancer Revolution
Join Prof Lawrence Young from the University of Birmingham as he delivers the West Midlands Branch of the British Science Association, Annual Prestige Lecture for 2012. The talk covers #39;The Cancer Revolution #39; and includes Prof Young #39;s views on stem cells and personalised medicine as well as many other aspects of his years in the field. This talk took place at Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum.

Presentation- iValue: The Biological Pacemaker
Columbia University is developing a biological pacemaker for human use, offering a cure, rather than the palliation provided by electronic pacemakers, for heart arrhythmia. It uses encapsulated stem cells transfected with the pacemaking gene, which is a path-breaking approach to the treatment of disease. The presenting organization has assembled an intellectual property portfolio of a dozen essential patents and know-how on related nanotechnology; a consortium of top US and EU scientists/clinicians including access to clinical trial facilities; government grants from an EU country; and executives with US Food and Drug Administration and European regulatory experience. Its approach is highly capital efficient and applies the concept of open innovation.

deaf gerbils
Human Embryonic Stem Cells Improve Hearing In Deaf Gerbils. Malcolm Ritter writing for the Associate Press reported on a study that concluded, "For the first time, scientists have improved hearing in deaf animals by using human embryonic stem cells, an encouraging step for someday treating people with certain hearing disorders." The research "involved an uncommon form of deafness, one that affects fewer than one percent to perhaps 15 percent of hearing-impaired people." I #39;m not kidding about this although I wonder how they found these deaf gerbils to use in the experiments.

How Europe can build on its leading position in regenerative medicine and stem cells
http://www.sciencebusiness.net Following a positive ruling on patents and a decision to maintain funding for embryonic stem cell research in Horizon 2020, things are looking up for regenerative medicine. Now further support is needed to deliver on the therapeutic potential, experts said in a Science|Business Webinar that took place on 9 January 2013.
