Two kinds of stem cells.mp4
In the beginning... there were two kinds of stem cells, embryonic and non-embryonic. A third, induced pluripotential stem cells, were developed in the 19080 #39;s. Each type of stem cell has its pluses and its minuses when it comes to use in regenerative medicine. The field is exploding with promise, particularly for diseases associated with aging such as osteoarthritis.

Scientists use urine to make stem cells
Chinese scientists from the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health have converted cells found in urine into pluripotent stem cells that can be used to create neurons and brain cells. The researchers say the find holds huge potential for the rapid testing and development of new treatments for neuro-degenerative disorders. Ben Gruber reports.

Illinois Nano-Bio Node - BioE Seminar Series Oct. 11, 2012 - The role of cell geometry in stem cells
"The role of cell geometry and adhesion ligand presentation in guiding stem cell differentiation" Kris Kilian, PhD Materials Science and Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign October 11, 2012 "Substrates that are designed to mimic the extracellular matrix are useful tools for studying cellular processes. Recently, we showed how micropatterning single mesenchymal stem cells can be used to reveal geometric cues that guide lineage specification. Shapes that promote a contractile cytoskeleton promote osteogenesis while shapes that promote a less organized cytoskeleton promote adipogenesis. In a separate study we found that the density and affinity of an immobilized cell adhesion ligand influences lineage specification. Surfaces presenting the high affinity cyclic-RGD peptide guide MSCs to express elevated levels of osteogenic markers. In contrast, surfaces presenting the lower affinity linear-RGD peptide promote expression of markers associated with myogenesis at high density and neurogenesis at low density of ligand. In both of these studies, the control of integrin-mediated adhesion and actomyosin contractility were found to guide specific differentiation programs. In this talk, I will present our efforts in the design of model systems that vary physical and biochemical cues independently and together. These studies reveal a picture of the microenvironment where cell geometry, matrix mechanics, adhesion ligand presentation and paracrine signaling play a ...

Leo D. Wang, MD, PhD, a Damon Runyon Scientist
Leo Wang studies leukemia, which is caused by rapidly and inappropriately dividing blood cells. These quickly proliferating cells derive from leukemia stem cells (LSCs) that are present only in very low numbers and are highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy. The persistence of LSCs is a large part of why high-risk leukemias such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are difficult to treat and often fatal. His research focuses on finding the activated protein circuits that are specific to and responsible for the development of LSCs. His goal is to understand what makes LSCs different from normal blood stem cells, and to use that knowledge to develop new and innovative therapies for childhood blood cancers.

Neuvitale!
StemCellVitamin.net - Neuvitale-Natural Stem Cell Therapy. Stem Cells are responsible for 50% to 70% of your bodies healing and repairing! The more stem cells or "building blocks" we have available, the faster and better our organs can be repaired. Our overall health is strongly influenced by the continued availability of extra stem cells in our bodies. But as we age our natural stem cell count declines. Natural adult stem cells can migrate to damaged tissues and actually become a new heart cell, liver cell, pancreas cell or any type of tissue cell.From:vitastimViews:0 0ratingsTime:06:23More inScience Technology

The two important characteristics of stem cells
Stem cells are distinguished from other cell types by two important characteristics. First, they are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell division, even after long periods of inactivity. Second, under certain conditions, they can be induced to become tissue- or organ-specific cells with special functions. In some organs, stem cells regularly divide to repair and replace worn out or damaged tissues. An example would be skin and possibly joint. In other organs, such as the pancreas and the heart, stem cells only divide under special conditions.From:Nathan WeiViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:59More inScience Technology
