Leggos for stem cells... you #39;ve got to be kidding!
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Peptides are amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins. They can be assembled into scaffolds and have the advantages of being both reproducible as well as functional. Sort of like Leggos. http

What is the buzz about stem cells and synthetic scaffolds?
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Synthetics have the advantage of known rates of degradation, ability to keep shape, and reproducibility. The down side is that the adhesiveness of stem cells may not be as good as natural materials. Examples of these synthetic materials include various polymers such as poly lactic-co-glycolic acid and poly ethylene glycol. Initial studies using these materials as scaffolds has looked very promising. http

Drink for a Cause: Feb. 08, 2013 AADP Asian American Donor Program
@ Club Atmosphere 3, San Francisco Drink for a Cause hosted another event promoting AADP! Drink for a Cause-www.facebook.com/dfacsf?ref=ts fref=ts About Drink for Cause: -Mission- To help raise financial and volunteer support and awareness for social justice non-profit organizations. -Description- Young professionals in the Bay Area who come together once a month by partnering with local San Francisco venues to raise funds and awareness for a charitable organization or cause ranging from human trafficking to breast cancer research to domestic violence and more. We negotiate with venues to donate a portion of the proceeds from our happy hours so the more you drink the more we can give. Everyone loves to have a good time, why not do it for a good cause while you #39;re at it? AADP Asian American Donor Program-www.facebook.com/AADP.org?ref=ts fref=ts About AADP: -Mission- Asian American Donor Program (AADP) is dedicated to increasing the availability of potential stem cells donors for patients with life threatening diseases curable by a stem cell transplant. -General Information- (AADP) is a community non-profit (501c3) organization geared towards saving lives. We are an official recruitment group of the Be the Match Registry, formerly the National Marrow Donor Program, specialized in conducting outreach and donor registration drives in the Asian, Pacific Islander, and Multi-racial communities. AADP now outreaches to the entire ethnic minority community. Next Event: LAUGH FOR ...

Adapts to any job: sugar for stem cell arthritis treatment.mp4
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Polysaccharides are sugars that play an important role in the structure of matrix material- the stuff that holds cells together. These materials are being investigated as possible stem cell scaffolds. These polysaccharides can be turned into gels rapidly and therefore can be injected into a damaged joint easily. Among these are agarose and alginate which are derived from algae. Hyaluronic acid is already being used as a palliative osteoarthritis treatment but is also considered a possible scaffold. The last polysaccharide is chitosan which has shown excellent results when used in a sheep model of osteoarthritis. http

An ingenious dual purpose: muscle stem cells.mp4
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Investigators at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center designed a unique study. What they did was take stem cells from muscle and using a therapeutic protein were able to reprogram the cells to repair articular cartilage abnormalities in rats. They showed that skeletal muscle was an available source of stem cells to help repair cartilage. The findings were published in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism. http

04- Stem Cell - Interview with Dr. William Hahn
For additional information visit http://www.cancerquest.org Dr. William Hahn is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Hahn #39;s research focuses on how cancer forms. He is interested in the mechanisms that allow cancer cells to reproduce indefinitely, including an enzyme called telomerase. He also works to develop new model systems to study cancer. In this interview, Dr. Hahn discusses his research and the impact of the human genome project on cancer researchers. In this interview segment, Dr. Hahn defines stem cells.
