Birmingham, Alabama
Birmingham is the largest city in the state of Alabama in the United States. It is the county seat of Jefferson County and includes part of Shelby County. Over the course of the 20th century, the city's economy diversified. Though the manufacturing industry maintains a strong presence in Birmingham, other industries such as banking, insurance, medicine, publishing, and biotechnology have risen in stature. Birmingham has been recognized as one of the top cities for income growth in the United States South with a significant increase in per capita income since 1990. Today, Birmingham ranks as one of the most important business centers in the Southeastern United States and is also one of the largest banking centers in the U.S. In addition, the Birmingham area serves as headquarters to one Fortune 500 company: Regions Financial. Five Fortune 1000 companies are headquartered in Birmingham. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham,_Alabama)

The South Dakota Embryonic Stem Cell Research Measure is an initiated state statute that did not appear on the November 2, 2010 ballot. The proposed measure proposed easing restrictions on stem cell research.[1]
In an effort to avoid a "costly ballot initiative," supporters sought a legislative repeal, however on February 3, 2010 the South Dakota State Senate rejected the measure 21 to 12. Supporters had until April 6, 2010 to submit a minimum of 16,776 valid signature to place an initiated state statute on the ballot.[2]
According to the South Dakota Secretary of State, if the measure had been approved for the ballot, there was a 36% success rate in passing initiated measures.[3]
The measure was supported by former state Treasurer David Volk, a cancer survivor. Volk said that he wanted the state's regulations on funding stem cell research to be thrown out. According to reports, adult stem cells were currently being used to help cancer, Diabetes and Alzheimer patients. A group was created in support of the measure called South Dakotans for Lifesaving Cures. The group planned to file ballot language paperwork with the South Dakota Secretary of State.[4]
Abortion opponent, Rep. Roger Hunt said that the measure was likely to see "considerable opposition" and predicted that the South Dakota Legislature may even address the issue during it's session.[1]
The Coalition for Cures Not Cloning was opposed to the proposed measure. The group was led by Dr. Mick Vanden Bosch, Rep. Manny Steele and former legislator Mary Glenski. Both the Coalition for Cures Not Cloning and the Family Policy Council. They argued that the "the proposed measure would drive a Texas-sized loop hole in South Dakotas current cloning ban that was passed in 2004. Make no mistake, this measure uses sleight of hand to rewrite the definition of cloning."[3]
Dr. Bosch, an opthalmologist said, "As a board certified physician, I can tell you that regardless of what others say, this initiated measure allows what is medically defined as cloning...If this measure passes, research dollars currently in effective research could be redirected to areas that have not yielded any positive results in countries where they have been tried."[3]
If petition language had been approved for circulation a minimum of 16,776 valid signatures were required by April 6, 2010.[4]

By expanding the use of adipose tissue and its stem cell components, scientist and surgeons have made significant strides in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The opportunities for regenerative medicine interventions based on adult stem cells are tremendous IvonaPercec, MD, PhD
As researchers work on reconfiguring cells to take on new regenerative properties, a new review from Penn Medicine plastic surgeons sheds additional light on the potential power of adipose-derived stem cells or adult stem cells harvested from fatty tissue in reconstructive and regenerative medicine.
Fat-derived stem cells hold potential for regenerative medicine November 9, 2012 in Surgery (Medical Xpress)As researchers work on reconfiguring cells to take on new regenerative properties, a new review from Penn Medicine plastic surgeons sheds additional light on the potential power of adipose-derived stem cells or adult stem cells harvested from fatty tissue in reconstructive and regenerative medicine.
Reconstructive plastic surgeons have clinically integrated fat grafting into different surgeries for years, for breast, facial, and other reconstructive and restorative surgeries, with good success. Now, researchers are beginning to understand the power that fatty tissue holds. This new paper, published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, enforces that adipose-derived stem cells can be routinely isolated from patients, and once molecular methods are worked out, may be useful for a multitude of regenerative medicine applications. The opportunities for regenerative medicine interventions based on adult stem cells are tremendous. It is critically important for us to better understand the biology of these cells so that we can develop novel, safe and effective treatments for our patients using their own cells. said the papers senior author, IvonaPercec, MD, PhD, assistant professor in the division of Plastic Surgery in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
Many groups are looking into different modes of isolating and modifying these cells for their regenerative properties, including experts at Penns Institute for Regenerative Medicine and around Penn Medicine. For example, Dr. Percecs team is conducting translational research into the mechanisms controlling adipose-derived stem cells, and how they contribute to the normal human aging process. Stem cells can undergo multiple divisions without differentiation, making them useful tools for cell-replacement therapy. Embryonic stem cells can convert to any cell type, whereas adult stem cells, like the stem cells derived from fat, can differentiate into many, but not all, cell types. A persons own fat tissue could then potentially be converted into cells specially designed to repair damage to the heart, cartilage, blood vessels, brain, muscle, or bone. As regenerative medicine techniques are refined, experts will continue to explore the utility and benefits of stem cells derived from adipose tissue.

Charlotte, North Carolina
Nicknamed the Queen City, Charlotte and the county containing it are named in honor of the German Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg, who had become queen consort of British King George III the year before the city's founding. A second nickname derives from later in the 18th century. During the American Revolutionary War, British commander General Cornwallis occupied the city but was driven out afterwards by hostile residents, prompting him to write that Charlotte was "a hornet's nest of rebellion," leading to another city nickname: The Hornet's Nest.

Bone marrow and stem cell transplants are treatments for relatively rare cancers of the blood that generally require aggressive treatment. These transplants give you new marrow in a process similar to a blood transfusion.
Bone marrow is a liquid tissue, found inside bones, that produces blood cells. Stem cells are immature blood-producing cells found mostly in marrow. The blood cells they produce include oxygen-carrying red blood cells, infection-fighting white blood cells, and platelets, which enable blood to clot.
Bone marrow transplantation has been used as therapy for several potentially fatal blood disorders since 1968. Physicians at Indiana University Health Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center use bone marrow transplant to treat patients with:
Autologous transplant uses your own stem cells. We use this method for:
Allogeneic transplant uses stem cells from a donor. We use this method for:
The bone marrow and stem cell transplant team provides care for both adults and children. Over the past ten years, we have treated more than 1400 cases of multiple myeloma (a cancer of the marrow that also attacks the surrounding bone). We are experts in diagnosis of bone marrow-related cancers and in the use of bone marrow and stem cell transplants.
Back to top
In preparation for bone marrow transplant, we use chemotherapy alone, or a combination of chemotherapy with high doses of radiation, to destroy cancerous cells. Unfortunately, these methods also destroy healthy cells, including those in the bone marrow, which may cause side effects. Side effects often get better or go away after chemotherapy is over.
Once it is determined that this preparatory treatment is complete, new stem cells are transplanted in the bones. These stem cells mature into healthy marrow, which again produces healthy blood cells.
Stem cells used in the bone marrow transplant procedure typically come from one of two sources: your own marrow (autologous) and a donors marrow (allogeneic).
