Cholesterol Measurements May Be Made Easier

Posted: November 20, 2011 at 5:03 pm

(HealthDay News) -- Methods to gauge blood cholesterol to determine vascular disease risk can be simplified, researchers in England say.

Their method measures levels of either total or high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good" cholesterol) in the blood or apolipoproteins (proteins that help transport cholesterol), without the need to have patients fast and without regard to another form of blood fat called triglycerides.

"Expert opinion is divided" on which combination of measurements is ideal in gauging cardiovascular risk, explained John Danesh, of the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration Coordinating Centre at the University of Cambridge, and colleagues.

In order to examine the association between major blood fats and apolipoproteins and coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke, the researchers analyzed data on more than 300,000 people without initial vascular disease who took part in 68 long-term studies.

During the follow-up periods of the studies, there were almost 8,900 nonfatal heart attacks, more than 3,900 coronary heart disease deaths, over 2,500 ischemic strokes, 513 hemorrhagic strokes and more than 2,500 unclassified strokes, the study authors noted.

The analysis of the data yielded a number of findings. Read more...

He’s No Gregory House–Which Is a Good Thing (preview)

Posted: November 20, 2011 at 5:03 pm

The patient had endured 20 years of pain: her calves had turned into two bricks,  and she now had trouble walking. A slew of doctors had failed to treat, let alone diagnose, her unusual condition. So when her x-rays finally landed on William A. Gahl’s desk at the National Institutes of Health, he knew immediately that he had to take her case.

Gahl is the scientist and physician who leads the Undiagnosed Diseases Program, which tries to unravel the underlying causes of, and find therapies for, mysterious maladies and known but rare conditions. Louise Benge’s x-rays had revealed that blood vessels in her legs and feet bore a thick coat of calcium that restricted blood flow. Benge’s sister, Paula Allen, along with several other members of the family, also shared the disorder. Over the course of several months Gahl identified the genetic root of the disorder--a mutation in a gene that regulates calcium--and he went on to propose a treatment with drugs already on the market. He continues to assess the treatment’s value.

About International Stem Cell Corporation
International Stem Cell Corporation is focused on the therapeutic applications of human parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSCs) and the development and commercialization of cell-based research and cosmetic products. ISCO's core technology, parthenogenesis, results in the creation of pluripotent human stem cells from unfertilized oocytes (eggs). hpSCs avoid ethical issues associated with the use or destruction of viable human embryos. ISCO scientists have created the first parthenogenic, homozygous stem cell line that can be a source of therapeutic cells for hundreds of millions of individuals of differing genders, ages and racial background with minimal immune rejection after transplantation. hpSCs offer the potential to create the first true stem cell bank, UniStemCell™. ISCO also produces and markets specialized cells and growth media for therapeutic research worldwide through its subsidiary Lifeline Cell Technology, and cell-based skin care products through its subsidiary Lifeline Skin Care.

Letter to the International Stem Cell Corporation Shareholders and Followers

Posted: November 20, 2011 at 5:03 pm

To the shareholders and followers of International Stem Cell Corporation:
You’ve likely seen stem cells in the news recently, and we’d like to take an opportunity to give you our views on two of the recent announcements. 
First, International Stem Cell Corporation announced yesterday earnings for the third quarter 2011.  We’ll be hosting a conference call on Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 10:00 AM PST to discuss key developments in the quarter, provide our outlook and answer your questions.   Individuals interested in listening to the conference call may do so by dialing 877-407-8033 for domestic callers or 201-689-8033 for international callers, or from the webcast on the investor relations section of the Company’s Web site at http://www.internationalstemcell.com
Second, Geron’s decision, announced yesterday, to terminate its stem cell R&D program in no way affects ISCO’s current strategy or developmental activities, nor does it alter our optimism for the potential of stem cells to eventually treat a broad-range of diseases and conditions.  While Geron may be reprioritizing programs, we are committed to the course we are on. 
Additionally, ISCO will continue its discussions with CIRM regarding possible funding for our truly unique parthenogenesis technology, particularly in light of the $25 million previously earmarked for Geron coming available for other investments.
Thank you for your interest in ISCO.  We hope you will join us for the conference call.
Sincerely,
Ken Aldrich
