Scientists Say 3D Printing Can Create Stem Cells – Video

Posted: February 8, 2013 at 12:45 am


Scientists Say 3D Printing Can Create Stem Cells
Scientists say that 3D printing can create stem cells. Stem cells can now be produced using a form of 3D printing technology. (1,1,1) Developed by scientists from Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland(1,8,1) the 3D printing technology is capable of making embryonic stem cells that can differentiate into any other kind of cell in the human body. (2,9,1) 3D printing has been used in various different industries, (2,1,1) but this is the first time that a human embryonic stem cell has been created this way. According to BBC News, Jason King, business development manager of stem cell biotech company Roslin Cellab, which took part in the research, (1,15,1) said: "This is a scientific development which we...believe will have immensely valuable long-term implications for reliable, animal-free, drug testing, and, in the longer term, to provide organs for transplant on demand, without the need for donation and without the problems of immune suppression and potential organ rejection." The 3D printers make dots containing up to five stem cells from cultures that are floating in a bio ink. The printing process did not appear to damage the cells as researchers found that 99 percent of the cells remained usable. What do you think? Is this kind of stem cell technology development a step in the right direction?

Sanctuary Season 4 Trailer – Video

Posted: February 8, 2013 at 12:45 am


Sanctuary Season 4 Trailer
Stem cells, gene therapy, transplants, cloning... the very meaning of the word #39;humanity #39; changes daily in the modern world. But there is a darker side to the evolution of mankind, a truth only a few brave souls are willing to face: There are monsters loose in the world. And they are the key to the future of our race. Each one-hour episode of Sanctuary follows the adventures of the beautiful and enigmatic Dr. Helen Magnus and her team at the Sanctuary as they track down, study and try to help the strange and often terrifying creatures that secretly populate our world. Aided by forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman (ROBIN DUNNE), techno-whiz Henry Foss (RYAN ROBBINS), her fearless daughter Ashley (EMILIE ULLERUP) along with her butler, and dear friend Bigfoot (CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL), Magnus and her team use their unique combination of instinct, medicine and cutting-edge science and technology to find the creatures that the world refuses to believe exist. Season two also introduces Kate Freelander (AGAM DARSHI) into the fold, a quick-talking con-artist who has more than a few tricks up her sleeve. Kate #39;s uneasy relationship to the Cabal could prove useful for Magnus in her search for Ashley, but her less-than-trustworthy track record may cause far more damage than her intel is worth. Sanctuary is helmed by Executive Producer/Creator/Writer Damian Kindler, Executive Producer/Lead Actor Amanda Tapping and Executive Producer/Director Martin Wood. In addition, for season two ...

Stem Cell Agency Board Member Defends Independence of Many on Board

Posted: February 7, 2013 at 4:40 pm

A member of the governing board of the
California stem cell agency is taking exception to a statement on the
California Stem Cell Report that no independent members sit on that
body.

Francisco Prieto, a Sacramento
physician and a patient advocate member of the board, referred to the
“ethical minefield” item Feb. 5, 2013. Here is the text of what
Prieto wrote,

“I have to object to this line: 'None
of the current members are independent. The ballot measure that
created the agency required board members to be appointed from
various constituencies.' 

“I think I am absolutely independent,
and I think the same applies at the very least to most if not all of
my fellow patient advocates, and probably to the biotech
representatives as well – remember that they all must come from
companies that are not involved in stem cell research.  Although
I supported the proposition, I was not involved directly in the
campaign in any way, and I did not meet Bob Klein (the first chairman of the stem cell board) or any of my fellow
board members until the day I was sworn in at our first meeting.

“The Prop. 71 language I believe
specifies that advocates must have a record of advocating for people
with the disease or diseases they represent, and not that they belong
to or work for any specific organization.  Checking my binder,
it refers to 'groups' but does not specify those – for example, it
refers to 'representative of a California regional, state or national
HIV/AIDS disease advocacy group.' I’m not sure how you would
define 'independent' but I certainly don’t think it means
'disinterested.'”

Our take: The Institute of Medicine(IOM) called for a new majority of what it described as independent
members, obviously not finding sufficient, if any, independent
members on the agency board. The IOM, the most prestigious organization of
its kind in the country, said changes were needed because of damaging
conflict of interest issues at the stem cell agency.
Prop. 71, which created the stem cell
agency in 2004, was carefully crafted to avoid the use of the word
“independent” when describing the necessary qualifications for a
board member.
 Instead the measure required that, in some cases, they
must come from very specific education institutions. (You can find the CIRM summary of all qualifications within this document.) In other cases, the speaker of the
state Assembly appoints “one representative of a California
regional, state, or national mental health disease advocacy group.”
The leader of the state Senate appoints “one representative of a
California regional, state, or national HIV/AIDS disease advocacy
group. “ Four other statewide elected officials appoint an
executive from a “California life science commercial entity.”
Prieto is correct when he says he
believes he is “absolutely independent.” But he fills a category
that represents a special constituency. What is missing from the
board is anyone who does not come from one special constituency or
another. The board was constructed in that manner to make sure it
would win the broadest measure of support from all the various major
constituencies by guaranteeing them a seat at the table where the
money is handed out.  Ironically, the full formal name of the CIRM governing board is the "Independent Citizens Oversight Committee," a piece of political legerdemain to mask the actual nature of who would sit on the board.

FACTS ABOUT AGING

The science shows each minute, our body is dying, this is a fact. Each minute that passes by our body has lost 300,000,000 cells. That means the cells that die in our body equals the population of the United States, each and every single minute. As we age less and less of those cells are replace and we slowly decay. Doctors have see people over a 100 that if cut nothing happens as there are no cells to close the wound.

Thus Aging is a result of progressive depletion of stem cells, so the introduction of new stem cells and adjunctive treatments has the potential of slowing down or reversing this process. Stem cells possess a unique anti-aging effect by regenerating and repairing organs, improving immune function, repair damaged by stress, and various toxins we are exposed to in our daily life.

Stem Cells often thought of as futuristic, controversial and unknown, are now providing the latest anti-Aging, rejuvenation and beauty secret.

THE SIGNS OF AGING

The signs of aging generally start at 40, earlier for those who have burned the candle at both ends , smokers, have been under stress or in contact with toxic sustenances and generally later for those who have had less stress, non smokers, exercised and eat properly but in the end we all will age. Some of the signs of aging are:

Monell scientists identify taste stem cells on the tongue

Posted: February 7, 2013 at 12:57 pm

Thediscovery of until now elusive taste stem cells on the tongue will help researchers and industry better understand the complexities of human taste, say researchers.

The breakthrough, byresearchers at the Monell Chemical Sciences Center, USA, will help to develop new techniques to grow and manipulate fully functional taste cells for use in research and clinical treatments, say thescientists behind the finding.

Writing in the journal Stem Cells,the Monell team explains that for decades taste scientists have attempted to identify the stem - or progenitor - cells that spawn the different taste receptor cells. This elusive challenge also sought to establish whether one, or several, progenitors were involved, and where they were located, they said.

Led by senior author Dr Peihua Jiang, the research team said that the identification of the location and certain genetic characteristics of taste stem cells on the tongue will kick-start research that better understands the make-up of human taste, and could someday help treat clinical taste dysfunctions.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg," said Jiang. "Identification of these cells opens up a whole new area for studying taste cell renewal, and contributes to stem cell biology in general."

"Cancer patients who have taste loss following radiation to the head and neck and elderly individuals with diminished taste function are just two populations who could benefit from the ability to activate adult taste stem cells," explained Dr Robert Margolskee, who also worked on the study.

Tasty findings

The team explained that taste cells are located in clusters called taste buds, which in turn are found in papillae, the raised bumps visible on the tongue's surface. In these structures, there are two types of taste cells that contain the chemical receptors that initiate perception of sweet, bitter, umami, salty, and sour taste qualities while a third type appears to serve as a supporting cell.

A remarkable characteristic of these sensory cells is that they regularly regenerate, said the researchers. All three taste cell types undergo frequent turnover, with an average lifespan of 10-16 days. As such, new taste cells must constantly be regenerated to replace cells that have died.

Stem Cells Show Promise in Extending Transplanted Kidneys’ Survival Time

Posted: February 7, 2013 at 12:57 pm

Can stem cells provide an answer to the perplexing question of how to ensure long-term survival of transplanted kidneys? The results of a new Phase 1 clinical trial say maybe so. Details of the trial, conducted by researchers at Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands, are published in the current issue of STEM CELLS Translational Medicine.

Durham, NC (PRWEB) February 07, 2013

The LUMC team, led by Marlies E.J. Reinders, M.D, Ph.D., and Ton J. Rabelink, M.D., Ph.D., decided to test whether stem cells might keep fibrosis in check. They focused on mesenchymal stromal cells, a type of stem cell found throughout the body, including in bone marrow.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are an interesting candidate due to their immunosuppressive and regenerative properties, Dr. Reinders explained. Of importance, no clinical studies have investigated their effects on rejection and fibrosis in organ transplantation.

The team performed a safety and feasibility study in kidney transplant patients who, at four weeks or six months after transplant, were showing signs of rejection and/or an increase in fibrosis and wasting away of the kidneys tubes (a condition called interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy. . In all, six patients received two intravenous MSC infusions of 1 million cells, collected from the patients own bone marrow and given one week apart. None of the patients had any sign of adverse, treatment-related side effects from the MSCs, although three developed infections associated with immune suppression.

Five of the patients had a specific decrease in immunity against the transplanted organ. In agreement, prior to the infusions, two of the patients had tubulitis lesions that are a warning sign of organ rejection which disappeared after the MSC treatment.

These first clinical observations support the potential of stem cells as a novel cell therapy to prevent allograft rejection and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy, Dr. Rabelink noted, adding that long-term follow-up to better understand MSC-based treatment and to monitor unwanted side effects is needed, especially since transplant recipients are already at an increased risk for infection and malignancies.

While the study wasnt designed to test efficacy, these clinical observations are promising and suggestive of systemic immunosuppression, said Anthony Atala, M.D., Editor of STEM CELLS Translational Medicine and director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine.

Researcher’s $375,000 regenerative medicine boost

Posted: February 6, 2013 at 8:49 pm

Body tissue engineer Jess Frith will determine the role of specific molecules in cell development in world-first research, with plans to use the knowledge to repair bones and cartilage.

Dr Frith, from The University of Queensland (UQ), will combine cells with biomaterials to reconstruct body tissues in the lab with the aim to one day potentially treating osteoporosis, osteoarthritis or intervertebral disc degeneration.

Her project, being undertaken at UQ's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, has received a boost from a $375,000 Australian Research Council (ARC) award.

The ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award will fund Dr Frith's research costs at AIBN's Tissue Engineering and Microfluidics Laboratory for the next three years.

I think regenerative medicine has the potential to transform medicine in the future but a major hurdle in achieving this is our ability to make cells behave as we want, Dr Frith said.

We are working with specific stem cells derived from people's bone marrow. They can be used to generate bone, cartilage, muscle and fat cells.

The cells need to turn into the correct tissue type. Controlling this is difficult. We know that stem cells are very sensitive to the environment around them.

Dr Frith plans to investigate whether molecules called microRNAs play an important role in how the response of cells to their environment determines cell development.

I will be using biomaterials to see if I can influence microRNAs and see if I can push stem cells to form specific tissues, she said.

Dr Frith said regenerative medicine was an exciting field because of the fast pace of advances that have been made during the past few years".
