Thermo Fisher Scientific Significantly Broadens Stem Cell OfferingThermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, has expanded its Thermo Scientific Stem Cell ExcellenceTM program, providing new tools and technologies to advance the stem cell research process.Neurons Created From Skin Cells Of Elderly ALS PatientsLess than 27 months after announcing that he had institutional permission to attempt the creation of patient and disease-specific stem cell lines, Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) Principal Faculty member Kevin Eggan proclaimed the effort a success - though politically imposed restrictions and scientific advances prompted him to use a different technique than originally planned.Michael J. Fox Foundation Funds $1.1 Million For Cutting-Edge Approaches To Parkinson's Disease Under Rapid Response Innovation Awards 2008Gene silencing techniques and induced pluripotent stem cell technology are among the cutting-edge approaches to Parkinson's drug development funded through The Michael J. Fox Foundation's Rapid Response Innovation Awards 2008. As part of its mission to drive transformative treatments and a cure for PD, the Foundation has awarded $1.1 million for 15 high-risk, high-reward Parkinson's disease research projects under the initiative in the first half of the year.New And Potentially Better Source Of Platelets For TransfusionClot-forming blood cells, or platelets, can drop to dangerously low levels in diseases such as anemia and in patients undergoing chemotherapy. To replace these critical cells, doctors filter platelets from donated blood, but this approach can increase the risk of transmitting blood infections and cause other side effects in patients who need frequent transfusions. To get around these problems, scientists have been trying to generate platelets from embryonic stem cell lines.Global Stem Cell Forum In China Showcases Cutting Edge Research, Focuses On New Findings For IPS CellsOver 300 of China's top stem cell biologists and researchers from around the globe shared their latest results and held China's first ever symposium on advanced induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell research during the just concluded first annual 2008 China Stem Cell Technology Forum at the China Medical City complex in Taizhou, China. At the Forum, which was chaired by Dr. Sean Hu, Chairman of Beike Biotechnology Co., Ltd.Adult Stem Cells Activated In Mammalian BrainAdult stem cells originate in a different part of the brain than is commonly believed, and with proper stimulation they can produce new brain cells to replace those lost to disease or injury, a study by UC Irvine scientists has shown. Evidence strongly shows that the true stem cells in the mammalian brain are the ependymal cells that line the ventricles in the brain and spinal cord, rather than cells in the subventricular zone as biologists previously believed.Want A Reason To Love Your Lower Belly Fat? It's Rich In Stem CellsFat removed from the lower abdomen and inner thigh through liposuction was found to be an excellent source of stem cells, with higher stem cell concentrations than other areas of the body, reports a Brazilian-based study in August's Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery(R), the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).Stem Cell Transplantation Research At The Cancer Center At Hackensack University Medical Center Aims To Develop 'Designer' TransplantsOver the past two decades, stem cell transplantation has evolved from being an experimental treatment to one that is a viable option for patients with hematologic (blood) malignancies and other life-threatening blood disorders. Researchers and clinicians at the Adult Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation Program at The Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center are responsible for many of the innovations and techniques used in today's successful transplants.UK Sugar Study Is Sweetener For Stem Cell ScienceScientists at The University of Manchester are striving to discover how the body's natural sugars can be used to create stem cell treatments for heart disease and nerve damage - thanks to a 370,000 pound funding boost. All cells that make up the tissues of the body - such as skin, liver, brain and blood - are surrounded by a layer of sugars that coat the cells.Insulin-Producing Cells Can Give Rise To Stem-Like Cells In-VitroThe question of whether insulin-producing cells of the pancreas can regenerate is key to our understanding of diabetes, and to the further development of regenerative therapies against the disease. Dr Rosenberg from the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and McGill University together with Dr Bernard Massie from the Centre hospitalier de l'Universite de Montreal (CHUM) have just concluded that they can.Identifcation Of Cells For Spinal-Cord Repair Could Lead To Nonsurgical Treatment For InjuriesA researcher at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory has pinpointed stem cells within the spinal cord that, if persuaded to differentiate into more healing cells and fewer scarring cells following an injury, may lead to a new, non-surgical treatment for debilitating spinal-cord injuries.
