Photopherisis step that separates red blood cells from white blood cells
Photopheresis first separates my blood, red cells from white cells. This is a centrifuge that accomplishes this separation. The top white layer in the movie are my white cells that are siphoned into a bag where a light sensitive drug is injected and mixed. The mixture is then exposed to UV light. This exposure kills off the t-cells that are responsible for my GVHD but also when put back into me will teach the bone marrow produced from the donor stem cells not to make the t-cells that are responsible for my GVHD also. Eventually my GVHD will be cured and the need for steroid drugs will be eliminated.From:Kevin SmithViews:1 0ratingsTime:00:15More inComedy

Cramer Chronicles: Can This Marriage Be Saved?, Part 3
At the carriage house, Rex and Gigi brainstormed together about how to get their hands on Stacy #39;s cache of stem cells. Rex posited that Shane #39;s leukemia might return. Gigi was alarmed until Rex reassured her that Shane would not actually become ill, but that they would let Stacy believe that Shane had relapsed. He suggested that once Stacy believed that Shane was sick again, she would retrieve the blood, and Rex would find it and bust her for good. They resolved to tell Shane the truth in order to bring him into their plan, but Gigi asked Rex what they would tell him about their having gotten back together. Schuyler arrived at the rehab center with flowers for his co-worker, Rachel. He revealed that Shaun had left the flowers. The two talked about the Evans brothers and Morasco sisters. Schuyler admitted that whatever his feelings for Gigi, a part of him would always love the Stacy he remembered from Las Vegas. As the two left the rehab center together, Rachel offered to take Schuyler to lunch. At the Palace Hotel, the Evans siblings met for lunch. Destiny was delighted as Greg gave her a new cell phone, but Shaun was unimpressed, and accused Greg of trying to buy their sister #39;s love after skipping out on their dinner date. Before long, Greg got a call from Dr. Wright and told Destiny that Matthew #39;s test results were in. Destiny was dying to know Matthew #39;s prognosis, but Greg told her he had to speak to the family first, and bid his brother and sister farewell.

Two other major California newspapers
today said the $3 billion California stem cell agency needs to “clean
up its act” if it wants to be successful in continuing its efforts
at turning stem cells into cures.
“The $700,000 spent on the
study...will be wasted if the institute's oversight board fails to
heed the (IOM) committee's
criticisms, which echo the findings of the Little Hoover
Commission and other groups over the years.”
“The 29-member board is made up
almost entirely of representatives of advocacy groups and research
institutions that have a direct interest in how the money is spent.”
“The board also overrode the advice
of its scientific advisors — twice on a single application when it
considered a grant for a well-connected company, StemCells Inc. based
in Newark, Calif. The board granted the company $20 million after Robert Klein, the driving force behind the passage of Proposition 71,
which created and funded the agency in 2004, and its former head,
lobbied so intensively for the company that one board member
described it as 'arm-twisting.'"
“The agency has used more than half
of its funding and one day will almost certainly want to ask
taxpayers for more. It should remember that voters will look for
evidence of public accountability as well as respected research.”
“(I)f it wants to survive...it
should heed the Institute of Medicine's advice to eliminate conflicts
of interest on its board -- and do it before awarding the remaining
$1.2 billion of the $3 billion voters approved for stem cell
research.”
“Long-term funding was never the
intent when Proposition 71 passed in 2004. It was supposed to
kick-start research at a time when federal funding was blocked and to
establish California as a major player in the rapidly advancing
medical field.
“The agency could continue to bring
value to the state as an advocate and funder of research, but only if
it can attract private donors, partners and investors. For that to
happen, it will need a board that passes the ethics test, with more
independent experts and industry executives free of conflicts.
“At the outset, stem cell advocates
took immense pride in structuring the agency to keep it relatively
free of legislative interference despite the use of public money.
Politicians kept their hands off, which was good. But the agency
created its own inappropriate influences in the way it constituted
its board. Now it needs to clean up its act.“
