Sarasota's Dr. Guy DaSilva Introduces Cutting-Edge Stem Cell Therapy For Degenerative Diseases

Posted: June 4, 2013 at 3:41 am

Sarasota, Florida (PRWEB) June 03, 2013

Guy DaSilva, MD, ABAARM, will begin conducting clinical trials for many degenerative diseases using adipose-derived stem cell therapy at the DaSilva Institute in Sarasota, Florida. The independent review board of the International Stem Cell Society will oversee the trials.

Following the IRB-approved protocols, Dr. DaSilva will treat patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Type 2 Diabetes, osteoarthritis, critical limb ischemia and erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, Alzheimers disease, dementia and Parkinsons disease are pending approval, and approximately five new protocols are added each month.

While stem cell therapy is most often associated with the controversial use of embryonic stem cells, Dr. DaSilva will be exclusively using adult autologous stem cells, harvested from the patients own adipose (fat) tissue or bone marrow if fat is not available. Because patients are receiving their own cells, there is no risk of rejection, and success rates are far greater compared to the more contentious therapies.

Autologous stem cell therapy works by mimicking the bodys natural healing process, but at a more potent, concentrated level. Stem cells, which are unspecialized cells with the potential to develop into any cell, are stored throughout the body. When disease or injury strikes, the body sends these cells to the area in need, and they begin repairing and replacing damaged tissue. Stem cell function decreases with age, along with ones ability to heal. But with autologous stem cell therapy, the body is once again empowered to heal and reverse disease, and with much greater magnitude.

Dr. DaSilva trained under scientist Kristin Comella, Chief Science Officer of Bioheart, CEO of Stemlogix, Chief Scientific Officer of the Ageless Regenerative Institute, and was recently named one of the 50 most influential people on stem cells. Dr. DaSilva will implement Comellas patented extraction process to precisely isolate and remove stem cells from fat tissue, allowing for an exceptionally high yield and viability.

During the in-office procedure, a mini liposuction is performed on the patient to remove 60 milliliters of fat, which produces approximately 8 million stem cells. The stem cells are isolated and injected back into the patients body at the site of injury or disease. Only local anesthesia is needed, and the patient will go home pain-free.

Over the next month, the patients body will repair and regenerate itself naturally. Dr. DaSilva will continue to treat the patient, with therapies that range from high dose IV nutrition and heavy metal chelation to bio-identical hormones. This helps the body maintain a healthy environment to further promote cellular and mitochondrial healing.

According to Dr. DaSilva, autologous stem cell therapy is very promising. He says, This extraordinary therapy is going to change the face of medicine. For example, it has the capability to completely reverse Type 2 Diabetes with a single dose, allowing patients to avoid amputations, premature death, and a life of food monitoring and injections. The results are truly remarkable, and this is only the beginning.

Cellular Dynamics: California Stem Cell Agency Recipient Plans $57 Million IPO

Posted: June 3, 2013 at 10:49 pm

A Wisconsin firm that is the
beneficiary of more than $16 million from the California stem cell
agency today announced that it intends to go public to raise $57.3
million for its iPS cell ventures.

The firm is Cellular Dynamics
International, Inc.
, and was co-founded by internationally known stem
cell scientist Jamie Thomson of the University of Wisconsin, who is
currently the company's chief scientific officer. Thomson is also a professor
at UC Santa Barbara, where he is co-director of the Center for Stem
Cell Biology and Engineering.
In March, the California stem cell
agency awarded a $16 million grant to Cellular Dynamics to derive
three iPS cell lines from 3,000 individuals as part of the agency's
stem cell banking initiative. (Here is a link to the grant review summary.)
The company said in its SEC
filings that it also will be the prime subcontractor on a $10 million
grant that the Coriell Institute for Medical Research of Camden,
N.J., received in the agency's stem cell banking round. Cellular Dynamics said
some of the funds from the IPO will be used to complete its
California laboratory in leased space at the Buck Institute in
Novato, north of San Francisco.
Cellular Dynamics was founded in 2004
and sold its first commercial product in 2010. It reported revenues
of $6.6 million in 2012 and losses of $22.3 million. It has 115
full-time and part-time employees worldwide.
The company said,

“During 2011 and 2012, we had three
large biopharmaceutical customers that individually accounted for
greater than 10% of our total revenue in one or both years. Eli Lilly
and Company (Lilly)
accounted for 10% of total revenue in 2011 and
18% of total revenue in 2012. Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (Roche)
accounted for 13% of total revenue in 2011 and GlaxoSmithKline plc
(GSK)
accounted for 11% of our total revenue in 2012.”

Cellular Dynamics also said in its
filings,

“Our total revenue grew from $2.6
million in 2011 to $6.6 million in 2012, an increase of 154%. This
growth was driven by a 247% increase in sales of our iCell products
which grew from $1.5 million in 2011 to $5.2 million in 2012. At
December 31, 2011, our backlog of revenue expected to be recognized
in 2012 was $1.1 million. At December 31, 2012, our backlog of
revenue expected to be recognized in 2013 had grown to $4.1 million.

“For the three months ended March 31,
2013 our total revenue was $2.4 million, an increase of 109% over the
corresponding period in 2012. This growth was driven primarily by an
increase in iCell product sales, which grew from $0.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2012 to $1.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of 173%.”

Paul Knoepfler of UC Davis, writing on his blog, touched on some of the aspects of the IP issues involving
Cellular Dynamics and  Japanese researcher Shinya Yamanaka, who won the Nobel Prize last year for discovering how to reprogram adult stem cells into pluripotent cells (the iPS process).
 Knoepfler wrote,

"A
recent question is the issue of who has the intellectual property
(IP) rights to iPS cell technology.
People have told me in the
past that they wondered if Cellular Dynamics has unambiguous rights
to develop all of these iPS cell-based products."

Knoepfler also wrote,

 “This (the IPO) looks to
be very interesting and could transform the field as it develops.”

News coverage today of the IPO filing
was light, but is more expected to surface tomorrow. Here is a link to the only story that had surfaced as of this writing. 

No price or date has yet been set for
the offering.

Pomeroy on Doing the Right Thing and Foster Care

Posted: June 3, 2013 at 11:38 am

Claire Pomeroy

On Claire Pomeroy's last day as a
member of the governing board of the $3 billion California stem cell
agency, she also published an essay on the Huffington Post in which
she discussed fleeing from an abusive home at age 14.
Pomeroy, former vice chancellor and
dean of the medical school at UC Davis and now president of the Lasker Foundation in New York,  wrote last month,

“For some children, the uncertainty
of life on the street is better than certainty of violence at home.
It was for me. At age 14, I escaped from an abusive home with no
money, nowhere to go and only the clothes I was wearing. I remember
staring into the night, standing somewhere between fear and freedom.
I became one of the millions of homeless teens, yet I was lucky
because foster care ultimately saved me.”

“However, after an emergency
placement and three foster homes, the challenges were not over. At 17
I aged out of the foster care system early when my foster parents
moved out of state. On my own again, I had to find a job, a place to
live and finish high school. Then I climbed the next mountain to
graduate from college and medical school.”

Pomeroy said she only recently began
publicly talking about her foster care experience. She said she is
doing so because “many  people lack an understanding of
the harsh statistics and their impact on the country's future. The
nation faces a crisis that demands a call to action to start truly
caring about foster youth before it is too late.”
She said that she was “lucky” in the
foster care system but said that many children, particularly minorities among others such as the disabled, were not as fortunate and “were failed by the system and society.” Pomeroy called them
“throwaway children” who were “robbed of their ideals, gave up
hope and struggled to find a reason to live.”
Less than half of the foster children
who “age out” of the system graduate from high school, she wrote. Only 3
percent to 11 percent earn a bachelor's degree. More than
400,000 children were in foster care in 2011 and have a one in 11 chance
of being homeless.
Pomeroy called for expansion and
improvement of foster care across the country. “It is time to stop
forcing children to be the heroes of their own survival,” she
wrote. “Now is the time to do the right the right thing.”
------
On a personal note, we have four
grandchildren, one of whom was adopted out of foster care as a
toddler. The other was adopted at birth. Some of the siblings of
those two African-American children remain in foster care today.
