Juan Carlos Murillo is a commercial airline pilot who suffered spinal cord injuries in 4 separate areas of his spinal cord. Doctors told him that his injury was "complete" and that he would never walk again. After completing four rounds of stem cell treatments at the Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama, Juan Carlos is walking again, driving a car and has recently passed his commercial airline pilot physical examination

The meat industry has been misusing data to make it appear that E. coli contamination of meat is decreasing, said Barbara Kowalcyk of the Center for Foodborne Illness, Research and Prevention.
Executives from the American Meat Institute (AMI) have claimed success in the beef industry's efforts to reduce contamination with the dangerous E. coli strain O157:H7. According to the AMI, inspection data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Food Safety and Inspection Service show a 45 percent drop in E. coli prevalence between 2000 and 2008.
Yet Kowalcyk calls this is a misuse of data never intended for "year-to-year comparisons."
"USDA's E. coli ... testing program is strictly regulatory and was not statistically designed to estimate the prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in raw ground beef," she said.
Although a 45 percent drop is in fact found in the data, Kowalcyk notes that different facilities were tested and different testing methods used each year. She called the AMI's conclusion as valid as comparing a person who weighed 300 pounds in 2000 to a different person weighing 150 pounds in 2008, then concluding that the average weight of the U.S. population had dropped 50 percent.

One day 12-year-old Elizabeth McIngvale became obsessed with the number 42, which happened to be her mother’s age at the time, 11 years ago. When she washed her hands, she had to turn the sink on and off 42 times, get 42 pumps of soap and rinse her hands 42 times. Sometimes she decided that she actually needed to do 42 sets of 42. When she dressed, she put her right leg in and out of her pant leg 42 times, then the left. Even getting up from a chair took 42 attempts. She was afraid that if she did not follow her self-prescribed ritual, something terrible would happen to her family--they might die in a car accident, for instance. “Everything I did was completely exhausting and grueling,” she recalls. “I was probably doing 12 to 13 hours a day of rituals.”
McIngvale was diagnosed with obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD), a psychiatric illness that afflicts 2 to 3 percent of Americans, not all of them as severely as McIngvale. Individuals with OCD experience debilitating recurrent and persistent thoughts, or obsessions, which they try to suppress or eliminate with rituals, known as compulsions. Compared with people who have other anxiety or mood disorders, adults with OCD are more likely to be single and unemployed. In fact, OCD is among the 10 most disabling medical and psychiatric conditions.

The underpinnings of autism are turning out to be even more varied than the disease's diverse manifestations. In four new studies and an analysis published June 8 researchers have added some major landmarks in the complex landscape of the disease, uncovering clues as to why the disease is so much more prevalent in male children and how such varied genetic mutations can lead to similar symptoms.

International Stem Cell Corporation (OTCBB:ISCOE) announced today that Donna Queen has joined ISCO's executive team. Ms. Queen will be primarily responsible for ISCO's wholly owned subsidiary Lifeline Skin Care's (Lifeline) brand identity and international marketing as well as broadening the range of Lifeline products currently available.
Prior to joining ISCO, Ms. Queen was President and CEO of ZO SKIN HEALTH® by Zein Obagi, MD. Dr. Obagi is the dermatologist who created the original Obagi Nu-Derm skincare system, which has since become the leading physician-dispensed brand of anti-aging skincare. Earlier Ms. Queen founded and led one of Virginia's largest advertising and marketing agencies, specializing in aesthetic and dermatological marketing and brand development.
Dr. Andrey Semechkin, President and CEO of ISCO, commented: "I'm very pleased that Ms. Queen has joined our team. Ms. Queen's industry experience and expertise particularly in marketing prescription-based products will be invaluable as we expand our skin care business and further enhance our line of products."
Ms. Queen adds, "I'm very excited to be joining such a dynamic, science-driven company. There have been no recent meaningful technological breakthroughs in skin care, but with ISCO's scientific leadership in stem cells and their knowledge of skin tissue physiology we have an opportunity to continue to deliver new and innovative treatments."
ISCO previously announced sales of approximately $1.1 million from the pilot direct-to-consumer launch of Lifeline's first two products, an anti-aging Day Serum and a Night Serum. These products were developed by ISCO's scientific research team in collaboration with internationally recognized cosmetics experts. The serums contain an extract from ISCO?s proprietary human parthenogenetic stem cells combined with antioxidants and botanically derived ingredients. Using these serums on a regular basis provides significant benefits to the skin including improvement in skin tone and elasticity and the improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, results that have been independently established by clinical studies performed at industry-leading testing laboratories. The serums can be purchased by visiting Lifeline?s website at http://www.lifelineskincare.com and are also available at selected luxury spas and physicians' offices in the United States.
About International Stem Cell Corporation
International Stem Cell Corporation is focused on the therapeutic applications of human parthenogenetic stem cells 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 with minimal immune rejection after transplantation into hundreds of millions of individuals of differing genders, ages and racial background. This offers 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.
