(PRWEB) November 22, 2012

Dr. Joseph Purita, world renowned stem cell therapist and medical director of the Institute of Regenerative and Molecular Orthopaedics (IRMO), is giving lectures around the world on stem cell treatments and more. As a pioneer in laser orthopedic surgery and regenerative stem cell therapy, Dr. Purita is regularly invited to lecture for students, organizations, and colleagues around the globe. His lectures are highly sought after for their many insights into the exciting and growing field of stem cell and platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy.

So far this year, Dr. Puritas lecture circuit has taken him to Mexico, Peru, South Korea, Los Angeles, and more. He has given lectures on the use of autogenous stem cells on orthopedic conditions, medicine lectures on stem cells and PRP injections, and more. Dr. Purita is currently in Moscow, Russia by the invitation of the Moscow Ministry of Health and the Peoples Friendship University School Medicine. Soon after, Dr. Purita is slated to lecture and perform cases in Brisbane, Australia at the Australian Sports Medicine Meeting.

Dr. Purita heads the renowned Institute of Regenerative and Molecular Orthopaedics. They are one of the few orthopedic practices on earth that utilize stem cell therapy and platelet rich plasma therapy with orthopedic surgery or in some cases, in lieu of surgery. Their regenerative medicine techniques include relief of pain and other symptoms in the joints, spine, and more. As Dr. Purita works to keep the Institute of Regenerative and Molecular Orthopaedics on the forefront of orthopedic practices, he also continues to lecture around the world and share his special knowledge of stem cell treatments and more.

About Stem Cell Orthopedic The Institute of Regenerative and Molecular Orthopaedics (IRMO) is a world-class orthopedic practice and stem cell facility staffed with seasoned board certified orthopedic surgeons. They differ from most orthopedic practices because they offer stem cells and platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy in conjunction with surgery or as alternative to surgical procedures. They utilize state-of-the-art technology and the latest in stem cell research to best treat their patients. IRMO uses hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), which are found circulating in blood, fat, and bone marrow, to help repair the body. They are headed by Medical Director Dr. Joseph Purita, a world renowned pioneer in laser orthopedic surgery and graduate of the esteemed Georgetown University Medical School.

World Renowned Stem Cell Therapist Lectures Around the World

NeoStem, Inc. (NYSE:NBS ("NeoStem" or the "Company"), an emerging leader in the fast growing cell therapy industry, today announced that it has been awarded a two year grant totaling $1,221,854 for "Repair of Bone Defects with Human Autologous Pluripotent Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells (VSEL)", grant number 2R44DE022493-02A1, from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This peer reviewed grant is to support a Phase 2 investigation and first approved NIH clinical study of VSELsTM in humans. The study will be headed by Denis O. Rodgerson, Ph.D., Director of Grants and Academic Liaison for NeoStem, in collaboration with co-investigators Drs. Russell Taichman and Laurie McCauley of the University of Michigan. Enrollment for this study is expected to begin in 2013.

This award will fund the evaluation of VSELTM stem cells as a potential treatment for periodontitis. The product candidate, an autologous therapy derived from a patient's own stem cells, is to be developed for use in the regeneration of bone tissue damaged by this disease. The award includes $706,682 for the first year and $515,172 for the second year of the project, and will cover the cost of the Investigational New Drug (IND) submission to the FDA for the product candidate.

Dr. Denis O. Rodgerson, Director of Grants and Academic Liaison for NeoStem, said, "We are pleased and honored that NIH has agreed to support further studies on bone regeneration by using VSELTM stem cells. This is an extension of our successful NIH funded collaboration with Dr. Taichman showing the production of human bone from human VSELsTM in a mouse model."

Periodontal disease is prevalent in the U.S. and affects up to 90% of the world population. The most severe cases of periodontal disease affect between 5% and 15% of the U.S. population, or between 15 and 47 million Americans. The incidence of periodontal disease is estimated to be between 1 and 3 million Americans annually, and growing at a 7% rate each year. Studies have shown that periodontal inflammation could have a role in the initiation or progression of coronary heart disease and stroke. Market research experts have estimated that severe periodontal disease represents a market between $1.25 and $1.5 billion annually.

Dr. Russell Taichman, Major Ash Collegiate Professor and Co-Director of the Scholars Program in Dental Leadership, Department of Periodontics & Oral Medicine, University of Michigan stated, "I am thrilled for the possibilities that this award opens. The chance to continue to partner with NeoStem to further develop regenerative therapies is significant. The validation that this award brings and the opportunity to establish a proof of concept, which may impact human health, is truly rewarding." Dr. Laurie McCauley, The William K. and Mary Anne Najjar Professor, Division of Periodontics Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine, University of Michigan added, "This novel cell based therapeutic approach looks to validate scientifically sound pre-clinical studies and provide a vital translation to improved human patient care."

NeoStem has a worldwide exclusive license to VSEL technology which uses very small embryonic-like stem cells, a heterogeneous population of stem cells found in adult bone marrow that have properties similar to those of embryonic stem cells. NeoStem has shown that very small embryonic-like stem cells can be mobilized into the peripheral blood, enabling a minimally invasive means for collecting what it believes to be an important population of stem cells that may have the potential to achieve the positive benefits associated with embryonic stem cells without the ethical or moral dilemmas or the potential negative biological effects associated with embryonic stem cells.

Dr. Robin L. Smith, Chairman and CEO of NeoStem, added, "We are very excited about this important step of funding for what will be the first human clinical study for our VSELTM technology. Not only will this study expand our knowledge of how autologous cell therapy can treat periodontitis and other bone defects, but it represents a milestone for NeoStem as we move our development of VSELTM technology beyond animal models and into the clinic, paving the way for other potential VSELTM trials."

NeoStem Receives Notification Of $1.2 million NIH Grant Award For First Clinical Study Of VSELTM Technology In Humans

Stem cells achieve sustained heart function improvement in heart attack patients
From Louisville - Stem cell therapy has been shown to sustain heart function improvement in heart attack patients in a phase 1 clinical presented at the AHA #39;s Scientific Sessions. The trial, known as SCIPIO for Stem Cell Infusion in Patients with Ischemic CardiOmyopathy, randomized 33 patients diagnosed with heart failure after suffering a heart attack to either cardiac stem cells or no stem cells. Researchers found that patients who received the stem cells had great improvement in their heart function, and that this improvement was sustained 2 years following infusion. Patients who did not receive stem cells had no improvement. There were no adverse effects of the treatment. One patient #39;s heart experienced such dramatic improvement that there was no sign of heart failure at all. Said Dr. Roberto Bolli, lead author of the study, "Anyone who looks at his heart now would not imagine that this patient was (ever) in heart failure or that he had a heart attack."From:insidermedicineViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:59More inScience Technology
