CLEVELAND, Ohio-- We've all heard of some of the amazing potential uses of stem cells: growing new tissues and organs for transplant, treating degenerative conditions such as multiple sclerosis and heart failure or safely testing new cancer drugs.
But much of the promise of future therapies depends on overcoming some significant technical hurdles and knowledge gaps.
One of those hurdles, understanding how stem cells heal injury, is now a lot smaller thanks to some cool basic-science research recently reported from a lab at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago.
Using adult human stem cells typically found in the bone marrow, called mesenchymal stem cells, or MSCs, the Chicago team discovered that the stem cells promote healing in diabetic ulcers by signaling existing cells in the area to turn on the natural repair process that can be inhibited in people with the disease.
The team, led by Daniel Peterson, director of the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at the Chicago Medical School, performed the experiment in mice. Their study was published in Stem Cells Translational Medicine.
Although MSCs have come to be regarded as a cure-all for tissue injury, researchers have only recently started to gain even the smallest clue as to how they work.
"This is a problem in the whole MSC field," Peterson said. In most studies, he said, the cells are injected into the bloodstream, and then disappear, making it difficult to understand how they work.
"What happens is that they kind of get filtered out into the lungs, and where they're getting into any tissue is a bit of a mystery," he said.
To avoid that problem, Peterson's team applied the MSCs topically to a diabetic wound on the backs of lab mice. Even then, though, they couldn't be sure that the MSCs weren't traveling through the mouse's body and having a systemic effect. So a second wound on the mouse's back, untreated with the MSCs, acted as a control. If there were any systemic healing effect, the untreated wound would get better. If the effect were local only, it wouldn't.
Even when applied topically, the MSCs disappeared quickly, Peterson said. But the mice healed only in the area where the MSCs were applied, not in the other wound. And levels of several types of molecules that are key to signaling and triggering the healing response -- called Wnt3a, VEGF and PDGFR-alpha -- rose in the treated area, suggesting that the MSCs "recruited" the mouse's own stem cells in the vicinity to do the repair work.

Stem Cell Therapy - Arthritis Therapy
Stem cell therapy for dogs, cats, and horses has been around for a few years. But as companies compete, the technology keeps improving. And today, a Hillsborough County vet clinic became only the second in the Bay Area to offer same-day procedures.

VAIL The Vail Athletic Club, part of the Vail Vitality Center wellness experience at Vail Mountain Lodge, introduces a lecture which offers an in-depth look at new developments in cellular therapy for the treatment of joint pain. Stem Cell Therapy is a groundbreaking procedure that uses a patient's own stem cells to repair or replace damaged joint tissue. Dr. Scott Brandt of ThriveMD in Edwards is one of few physicians in the country trained in this procedure. Brandt will present details about this innovative new therapy at the Vail Athletic Club on Friday at 6 p.m.
Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that begins with harvesting a patient's stem cells from his or her own fat reserves most often from the abdominal region. The tissue is isolated in a state-of-the-art cell-processing laboratory. The cells are then injected into the damaged joint using a minimally invasive technique with the assistance of fluoroscopic guidance. Once injected, the cells can sense proteins generated from cartilage damage and, in response, those cells have the ability to make chondrocytes cells found in healthy cartilage. This new procedure relieves the pain and limitations of arthritic joint disease without resorting to an invasive joint replacement surgery.
Brandt will discuss the process of isolating autologous adipose derived stem cells, the details of the procedure, and answer questions about this treatment for cartilage, ligament and tendon injuries.
For more information or to register call 970-476-7960. The lecture is offered as a fundraiser for the Eagle County Education Foundation and a $15 donation is suggested. Advance reservations are required and space is limited.
