Pioneering Asian Transplant Surgeon Now Focused on Fat Derived Stem Cells
INK Conference 2010 video published on TED Talks Singapore surgeon Dr. Susan Lim performed the first liver transplant in Asia. But a moral concern with transplants led her to look further, and to ask: Could we be transplanting cells, and not whole organs? She talks about her new research focus and discovering healing cells from fat.

A Catholic View: The Science of Stem Cells. Finding Cures and Protecting Life
Michigan Catholic Conference video published May 29, 2012 In an effort to communicate the relationship between stem cell research and the Catholic Church #39;s teaching on human life, this 12-minute DVD was distributed to every registered Catholic home in Michigan. The video explains the differences between adult and embryonic stem cell research. While adult stem cell treatments are acceptable, the Catholic Church finds embryonic stem cell research and therapies as morally unacceptable. Patient testimonials and interviews with adult stem cell researchers are featured.

What are the important issues when it comes to cartilage repair... Things you need to know!
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com The first is to know that whatever method is used is effective in building articular cartilage. There are two types of cartilage, hyaline cartilage which is the tough gristle that caps the ends of long bones and fibrocartilage which is the softer cartilage which is found in knee meniscus, and the labral tissue of the shoulder and hip. The second issue is what type of cell to use. Adult autologous mesenchymal stem cells are the ones that are easiest to harvest and to use. But are they the most effective? Allogeneic donor cells may prove to be a more viable source, providing graft versus host reactions will not be an issue. How do we ensure stem cell survival in the hostile environment of an arthritic joint? The use of growth factors and other "protective" factors need to be considered. What is the optimal condition that will ensure a good outcome? Much work has been done in the field of biomaterial scaffolding. Is it really necessary? While in vitro studies and small animal studies appear promising, no definitive human studies have been done. It will be important to make sure that whatever new cartilage is made with stem cells adheres to the underlying bone. What will be the longevity and durability of the new cartilage matrix? http

Natural scaffolds for stem cells... critical step or overhyped?.mp4
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com There are a number of natural biomaterials that have been used in experiments in tissue engineering. Protein-based compounds include collagen, fibrin, fibrinogen, and silk. Collagen seems to be the most popular of these. I can be transformed into a 3 dimensional matrix. Stem cells are attracted to the scaffold and form blood vessels inside it. Multiple studies have demonstrated that the use of these 3-D collagen scaffolds along with stem cell seeding may have utility in the construction of ligaments, cartilage, and bone. Fibrin, while not studied as much as collagen, also appears to have promise. Silk, used as a 3-D scaffold also has promise. Meinel and colleagues demonstrated that human mesenchymal stem cells combined with silk scaffolds produced more cartilage than comparable collagen 3D scaffolds. Silk has tensile strength that makes it attractive for engineering connective tissue. http

Corticogenesis from Pluripotent Stem Cells
In this video, Ira Espuny-Camacho and Pierre Vanderhaeghen describe how human pluripotent stem cells can be turned into cortical pyramidal neurons, mimicking key aspects of human corticogenesis. Most strikingly, they show that these human neurons can be transplanted successfully in the mouse neonatal brain, where they integrate specifically and functionally like endogenous cortical neurons. These data provide a unique framework to model human cortical development in health and disease, both in vitro and in vivo. For more information, see Espuny-Camacho et al., Neuron 77(3).
