Complete Growth Medium

The base medium for this cell line isMesenchymal Stem Cell Basal Medium (ATCC PCS-500-030). To make the complete growth medium, add Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth Kit (ATCC PCS-500-040) for Adipose and Umbilical-derived MSCs - Low Serum Componentsand G418to the base medium as the following:

482 mL of basal medium (PCS-500-030)

10 mL of MSC supplement (2% FBS, 5 ng/mL rh FGF basic, 5 ng/mL rh FGF acidic, 5 ng/mL rh EGF)

6 mL of L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine (2.4 mM, final concentration)

2 mL of 100 mg/mL G418 (0.2 mg/mL, final concentration)

Protocol:

1. Passage immortalized adipose-derived MSCs when the culture has reached approximately 80% confluence.

2. Warm both the Trypsin-EDTA for Primary Cells (ATCC PCS-999-003) and the Trypsin Neutralizing Solution (ATCC PCS-999-004) to room temperature prior to dissociation. Warm the complete growth medium to 37C prior to use with the cells.

3. For each flask, carefully aspirate the spent media without disturbing the monolayer.

4. Rinse the cell layer one time with 3 to 5 mL D-PBS (ATCC 30-2200) to remove residual medium.

5. Add prewarmed trypsin-EDTA solution (1 to 2 mL for every 25 cm2) to each flask.

6. Gently rock each flask to ensure complete coverage of the trypsin-EDTA solution over the cells, and then aspirate the excess fluid off of the monolayer.

7. Observe the cells under the microscope. When the cells pull away from each other and round up (typically within 3 to 5 minutes), remove the flask from the microscope and gently tap it from several sides to promote detachment of the cells from the flask surface.

8. When the majority of cells appear to have detached, quickly add an equal volume of the Trypsin Neutralizing Solution (ATCC PCS-999-004) to each flask. Gently pipette or swirl the culture to ensure all of the trypsin-EDTA solution has been neutralized.

9. Transfer the dissociated cells to a sterile centrifuge tube and set aside while processing any remaining cells in the culture flask.

10. Add 3 to 5 mL D-PBS (ATCC 30-2200) to the tissue culture flask to collect any additional cells that might have been left behind.

11. Transfer the cell/D-PBS suspension to the centrifuge tube containing the trypsin-EDTA- dissociated cells.

12. Repeat steps 10 and 11 as needed until all cells have been collected from the flask.

13. Centrifuge the cells at 270 x g for 5 minutes.

14. Aspirate neutralized dissociation solution from the cell pellet and resuspend the cells in 2 to 8 mL fresh, prewarmed, complete growth medium.

15. Count the cells and seed new culture flasks at a density of 5,000 viable cells per cm2.

16. Place newly seeded flasks in a 37C, 5% CO2 incubator for at least 24 to 48 hours before processing the cells further.

Cell seeding density:5,000 viable cells per cm2

Medium renewal: every 2 to 3 days

Freeze medium: 90% Complete growth media; DMSO, 10%

Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase

Temperature: 37.0C

Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%

Stem cell therapy is an exciting new way for potentially battle diseases such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimers, Parkinsons and so on. For humans, the technology is still mostly in experimental phases. For animals, though, the future is here already.

Source

Several veterinarians in Hawaii have approached stem cell therapy and have managed to ease the aches and pains of aging dogs and cats over the past year. The stem cell treatment they use is a relatively simple process. It involves extracting adult stem cells from the animals own fat, then reinjecting them into injured joints to relieve pain from problems such as osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, and degenerative bone disease.

Veterinarian Cristina Miliaresis wanted to test the treatment before offering it at Surf Paws Animal Hospital. To see if it works, she tested it out on her own dog, a 9-year-old American bulldog/pitbull with ruptured ligaments in both its knees.

The results were great, said the doctor. They were so great that she recently gave her dog a second treatment that has left the pet happy and hyper. Its an amazing concept in general, and its not something weve had the ability to do until now, said Miliaresis.

Carole Spangler Vaughn, owner of MediVet Hawaii a company that specializes in regenerative medicine for animals also said that the treatment is simple and safe. Its low risk. Weve never seen a negative reaction from the actual stem cell therapy, says the doctor. Conservatively speaking, 95% of the time they get better and theres improvement less pain and more mobility, added Vaughn.

Embryonic stem cell research for humans has been and still is very controversial. However, the stem cell treatment for animals uses adult stem cells collected from a few tablespoons of the animals own fat, which significantly reduces the risk of rejection. Unlike embryonic cells, adult stem cells have not been found to cause cancer, said doctor Vaughn. You get lots of stem cells in fat. Its kind of cool, added Vaughn. Nobody cares if you take some fat out of somebody, said Miliaresis.

The procedure costs up to $3,000 and takes just a few hours. The results have all been positive, at times quite dramatic, said the doctor. Theres no way of knowing whether the treatment will prolong a pets life, but the doctor says she had at least five patients who were going to euthanize their pets because they thought they were too uncomfortable. Those owners saw the quality of life of their pets improve so much that they reversed their decisions.

Other pet owners have seen enough improvement to take their pets off long-term medications that just mask symptoms, says Miliaresis. Their whole aura improves. They just seen happier. Thats the best thing for me to see these patients feeling better. Its really rewarding, Miliaresis says.

Stem Cell Therapy in Palm Beach County

Posted: October 1, 2015 at 6:49 pm

Palm Beach Foot and Ankle is one of the few Foot and Ankle specialists in south Floridathat provides Stem Cell Therapy and regenerative medicine as an option to help healmultiple lower extremity conditions.

Some of the conditions that may require surgicalintervention or may take a long time to heal, can be significantly improved with stem celltherapy. (Contact our office today for consultation with one of our RegenerativeMedicine physicians.)

WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?

Stem Cells are found in different Adult tissues. Most commonly they are found in BoneMarrow, Fat cells, and Blood. They are Undifferentiated / Unspecialized cells, meaningthat they are blank and can be developed into another type of cell to repair or replacedamaged tissue.

Basically, they act as our bodys repair system. As we age, research hasshown that there is a decrease in the numbers and activity of these stem cells found in ourbody.

TYPES OF STEM CELL THERAPY:

Stem Cells can be obtained from different sources:

1. Bone Marrow This requires a surgical procedure which involves drilling into thebone (typically the femur or iliac crest).

2. Adipose Tissue (Fat Cells) Requires extraction by a surgical procedure/ liposuction.

3. Amniotic Derived from the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus and it is the mostadaptable. It does not require the patient to undergo surgical procedure for harvesting.

These Stem Cells are very active and expand extensively. (Contact our office to schedule.)

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF STEM CELL THERAPY

Stem Cells can differentiate into and repair bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon, ligaments andskin.

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR STEM CELL THERAPY?

At Palm Beach Foot and Ankle, our expert physicians will carefully evaluate patients todetermine whether advanced stem cell therapy is a good option for relieving their pain

and restoring damaged tissue. A good candidate for stem cell therapy is a patient whohas mild to moderate osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, tendon inflammation, a partial tear of

the Achilles tendon, or muscle strain or sprain. (Contact our office to schedule anappointment)

PREPARING FOR STEM CELL THERAPY

Do not take over-the-counter medications that can thin your blood (aspirin, Motrin, AleveAdvil, Naproxen, etc.). Drink as much water as possible on the day of your injection.Arrange for someone to drive you home after treatment.

FOLLOWING STEM CELL THERAPY

You will be numb for an hour or two at the injection site, and may experience much moresoreness than usual for the first few days after treatment. After the numbness wears off,refrain from any activities that increase your discomfort, and refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medications for at least four weeks after treatment.

Control your pain withacetaminophen (Tylenol) or medications that your doctor prescribes. Use ice sparingly,for up to 20 minutes at a time every two to three hours. Resume any physical therapyregimen about a week after treatment.Your recovery time will depend on the specific condition that is being treated.In allcases, the stem cell injections at the site of your injury will need time to grow your newcells. As the regeneration of new cells proceeds, you should notice a gradualimprovement in your level of discomfort, and in your range of motion.

Alpine Rose Leaf Extract for Environmental Protection for …

Mibelle Biochemistrylauncheda new stem cell active basedon alpine rose.PhytoCellTec Alp Rose (INCI:Rhododendron Ferrugineum Leaf Cell Culture Extract (and) Isomalt (and) Lecithin (and) Sodium Benzoate (and) Lactic Acid (and) Water (aqua)) is said to protect skin against UV stress, increase skin stem cell vitality, boost epidermal regeneration and improve skin barrier function.

Alpine roses are Swiss flowersthat grow at altitudes of up to 3,200 m. In this environment, they must adapt to extreme conditions such as the cold, UV and dryness. The leaves of these roses, therefore, were sourced to create an active thatprotects skin stem cells against environmental stress factors and improves their function.

Skin's ability toprotect the human body from the environment relies heavily on the renewal and repair of the skin barrierby the epidermal stem cells. But environmental changes and aging impair the skin barrier leading to a drier, more fragile skin and accelerated aging.

To createthe active, the companyemployed itsPhytoCellTec technology to obtainthe stem cells from alpine rose leave, which wereincorporated in a water-soluble powder. Thesealpine rose stem cells contain epigenetic factors and metabolitesthat are able to preserve the human skin stem cells function. After creating the active, the company used its Progenitor Cell Targeting technology,to show thattheingredientincreases the vitality of epidermal stem cells by helping them to maintain their stem cell characteristics and protects these stem cells against environmental stress.

Thealpine rose active is recommended for:advanced stem cell cosmetic formulas, face and body care to protect stem cells against environmental stress and every weather formulations. Formulators can incorporate the active:at 0.41%, by dissolving it into the aqueous phase andby adding itpre-solved during the cooling phase (<60 C). The active is dissolvable at up to 20% in water and it is stable up to 60C for a short time.

Immunology Basics Tutorial – University of Arizona

Posted: October 1, 2015 at 6:48 pm

Anything that causes an immune response is called an antigen. An antigen may be harmless, such as grass pollen, or harmful, such as the flu virus. Disease-causing antigens are called pathogens. The immune system is designed to protect the body from pathogens.

In humans, the immune system begins to develop in the embryo. The immune system starts with hematopoietic (from Greek, "blood-making") stem cells. These stem cells differentiate into the major players in the immune system (granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes). These stems cells also differentiate into cells in the blood that are not involved in immune function, such as erythrocytes (red blood cells) and megakaryocytes (for blood clotting). Stem cells continue to be produced and differentiate throughout your lifetime.

Hematopoietic stem cells produce cells in blood and lymph Adapted from Biology of the Immune System, JAMA 278 (22)

By the time a baby is born, the immune system is a sophisticated collection of tissues that includes the blood, lymphatic system, thymus, spleen, skin, and mucosa.
