Stem-cell therapy in medicine–how far we came and what we can expect?Apollo Hospitals
The name ‘stem-cell’ is making the news in recent times both for good and not. The current articles tries to give a snap shot of the scientific and clinical picture of stem-cells in medicine as of today and discuss what it have to offer in the to the mankind. The article discusses the characters and types of stem-cells, their current indication in therapeutics (both established and upcoming), as well as their use in research. It also gives a brief overview of the current laws guiding its use in clinical practice and the various cultural beliefs associated with the use of same.
Cell Therapy - Definitions and Classificationsnanog
This document discusses definitions, classifications, and trends related to cell therapy. It defines cell therapy as the administration of cells to the body for therapeutic purposes and regenerative medicine as replacing or regenerating tissues to restore function. Classifications of cell therapies include immunocellular vs regenerative approaches and autologous vs allogeneic cell sources. The trends show growing interest in immunocellular therapies and use of mesenchymal stem cells and adipose tissue-derived cells. Regulatory classifications of cell therapies vary between countries and agencies and certain cell therapies can be difficult to clearly define, creating potential confusion.
The document discusses two scientific studies. The first study found that a specific stage in the cell cycle (G1 phase) being altered can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer development when telomeres are shortened. The second study discovered that after a heart attack in zebrafish, muscle cells from the undamaged atrium migrated into the damaged ventricle and transformed into ventricular cells, helping regenerate the heart tissue and restore cardiac function.
The document announces a clinical and translational research conference held every Thursday afternoon from 4-5 PM at Temple University Hospital in the Erny Auditorium. The conference is supported by an NIH grant and features multidisciplinary research presentations on topics such as chronic lung disease, stem cell research, angiogenesis, and tissue factor. Contact information is provided for more details.

ISSCR Guidelines for Stem Cell Science and Clinical Translationms emporda
This document provides guidelines for stem cell science and clinical translation from the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR). It was prepared by a task force of 25 experts from 9 countries, chaired by bioethicist Jonathan Kimmelman. The guidelines are dedicated to the memory of Paolo Bianco, a pioneering stem cell researcher and task force member who passed away during the revision process. The guidelines cover fundamental ethical principles, laboratory research involving human embryos and related activities, clinical translation of stem cells including preclinical and clinical research, medical innovation, and regulatory approval.
Stem cell research offers potential benefits for treating diseases like cancer, neurological disorders, and skin damage. It may provide cures through cell replacement and regeneration of tissues. However, some argue that using embryonic stem cells is unethical as it involves destroying embryos. While opponents see no moral issue as embryos are just clusters of cells at early stages. Overall stem cell research promises progress but also debates around its application that require ethical guidelines.

There are different types of stem cells that can be classified based on their origin and abilities. Embryonic stem cells are the earliest type found in embryos that can become any cell type but carry risks. Adult stem cells are tissue-specific and found in organs to repair and replace cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells are adult cells reprogrammed to be like embryonic stem cells. Rigorous testing through clinical trials is required to translate stem cell research into safe and effective medical treatments.
Christian Drapeau is America's leading advocate for adult stem cell science and founded the field of stem cell nutrition. He hypothesized that adult stem cells created in bone marrow can flow to tissues and organs needing regeneration, transforming into the healthy cells of that location. Initially ridiculed, his theory has gained momentum as studies show adult stem cells have promise in many areas of human healing. Drapeau believes adult stem cells are the body's natural healing system and their study could help treat conditions like heart disease and diabetes. He frequently speaks worldwide on adult stem cell science and holds degrees in neurophysiology and neurology from McGill University and Montreal Neurological Institute.

This document discusses several issues relating to the use of genetic testing and human enhancement technologies in sports. It notes that as gene transfer techniques develop, their integration into health enhancement will increase. Several organizations have discussed the ethical issues around gene doping and performance enhancement in sports over the past decade. While some forms of enhancement may be acceptable, current experimental technologies cannot be used for enhancement due to risks and lack of efficacy evidence. The document examines questions around the selection of athletes, privacy, discrimination, conflicts of interest, and what constitutes an ethical and responsible use of genetic information in sports.
This document describes a case study of a 37-year-old woman with spinal cord injury who received a transplant of multipotent stem cells derived from human umbilical cord blood. Within 41 days of the transplant, the patient showed improved sensory perception and mobility in her hips and thighs. CT and MRI scans also showed regeneration of the spinal cord at the injury site and some regeneration of the cauda equina below. The results suggest that umbilical cord blood multipotent stem cell transplantation may be an effective treatment for spinal cord injury patients.

About 50-60 patients from Maine receive stem cell transplants at Dana-Farber each year. The conference gave clinicians from both institutions a chance to discuss the patient transfer process and how to reduce obstacles. The goal was to better address the needs of patients who must travel long distances for specialized cancer treatment.
The Opposing Viewpoint of Stem CellStem cell research explores t.docxoreo10
The Opposing Viewpoint of Stem Cell
Stem cell research explores the nature and growth capabilities of cells essential for ensuring replacement of cells in living organisms (Paddock, 2017). Such cells have an advantage of being manipulated to any type of cells as it is deemed necessary by the scientists based on scarcity or slow rejuvenation process of the natural cells. The general public has largely adopted a reserved approach to stem cell research and therapy despite the positive research and development showcased by leading scientists including;
· Jun Takahashi: he explored the safety and applicability of stem cell therapy in primates in relations to the Parkinson’s disease, recording a major success between the interaction of human cells and animals (Sandoiu). Furthermore, no long-term negative effect was established from the treatment that saw full recovery of the primates.
· Hai Nguyen, Aileen Anderson and colleagues: carried a similar exercise on injured mice to record tremendous success of the donor cells in a period ranging immediately after the induction process to at most one month (Society for Neuroscience. 2017).
· Scientists from the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles CA: highlighted the need for stem therapy in replacing aging heart muscles using rats (Paddock, 2017). The induced cells were able to grow and multiply thus repair the heart muscles of the older rats to improve the general body functioning.
Despite the breathtaking discoveries as tested and presented by these scientists, ethical concerns have prevailed to the dismay of an excited global scientists’ fraternity. The general public is cautious in its approach to stem cell therapy from various reasons ranging from the potential to cause cancer to how the media overrates the treatment process that still has critical gaps to full implementation (Begley, 2017). There are two major concerns that arise from the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute research as reported by Paddock. The first concern as perceived by the layman defined as the general public is the fact the findings are based on animals other than human beings. This experiment was purely run on rodent tissue thus raising a legitimate query as to the consistency if replicated in humans. The second concern arises from Paddocks admission that the scientists proposed the need for further research to determine whether the findings are only valid when the donors are young (2017).
Since the same article admits the fact modern day medicine has seen prolonged life with a possibility of the elderly to exceed the children population, such a dependency on young donors may endanger the human species in the long run.
The excitement surrounding Stem Cell Research is magnified through mainstream media that often cares about moving volumes in sales rather than realistically highlight the caution or reservations pronounced by scientists. However, Sharon Begley is exemplary in her revelation of a high-risk gap in research that li ...

Disrupting drug discovery one disease at a timeSean Ekins
This document discusses efforts to accelerate research for rare disease MPSIIIC through open science and partnerships. An organization called Jonah's Just Begun is partnering with scientists, clinicians, other patient groups, and a company called Phoenix Nest to pursue multiple treatment approaches including gene therapy, substrate reduction, and mutation correction. Early diagnosis of the main patient Jonah allowed early intervention and the formation of a global network to share knowledge and accelerate research that may find treatments in his lifetime. Open data sharing, patient engagement, and disrupting traditional models are seen as ways to further progress. Support is needed for increased awareness, diagnostics, and funding to move the efforts beyond the current scope.

Scientists have identified a new class of drugs called "senolytics" that dramatically slow the aging process in animal models by reducing frailty and improving heart function. The drugs target senescent cells that accumulate with age and accelerate aging. Testing on two existing compounds, dasatinib and quercetin, showed they selectively induce death of senescent cells. This suggests targeting senescent cells may help extend healthspan and treat age-related diseases.

This document provides an overview of biomedical engineering and its goal of using engineering techniques to develop therapeutic technologies and replace diseased human organs. It summarizes notable achievements in bioengineering organs and tissues, including 3D printed ears, bioengineered bladders, blood vessels, and windpipes created using patients' own cells. Ongoing research aims to bioengineer more complex organs like livers, intestines, and kidneys to address the high demand for organ transplants.
Researchers have identified why cancer tumours thrive even with no blood or e...Lucy Keen
Researchers at the CNIO in Spain discovered a mechanism that allows cancer cells to survive without glucose by detecting glucose levels and activating different biochemical pathways. When glucose is present, cancer cells use one pathway to thrive, and when it is absent, they trigger an alternative pathway to survive while cut off from nutrients. This explains why tumors can resist drugs that aim to starve them and continue growing even without a blood supply. The findings provide insight into cancer's ability to adapt and survive stressful conditions.
This document summarizes a presentation on new sources of big data for precision medicine. It discusses how new data sources like genomics, the human microbiome, epigenomics, and the exposome are generating large amounts of data. It then covers the evolution of precision medicine from concepts like personalized medicine and how strategic initiatives in the UK and US are supporting precision medicine research through funding programs and projects like the Cancer Genome Atlas, eMERGE, and exposome studies. The presentation raises the question of whether we are ready for precision medicine given these new data sources and research efforts.
