WHAT IS THERAPEUTIC CLONING?#SciChallenge2017giulia api
Cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical copy of an organism. There are several types of cloning including reproductive cloning to create an organism with identical genetics to a donor, therapeutic cloning to create stem cells for medical research and treatment, and productive cloning to create selected organs or tissues. Therapeutic cloning involves transferring the nucleus of a donor cell into an egg cell to produce stem cells that can be used to treat degenerative diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. Stem cells have the potential to differentiate into many cell types and are a promising area of research for regenerative medicine and disease treatment.

The document also outlines the importance of stem cell research for developing new medical treatments, testing drugs, and studying development, while acknowledging the ethical controversies around embryonic stem cell derivation and challenges with stem cell therapies.
Mature stem cells exist in adult tissues and can differentiate into a limited number of cell types to repair and replace damaged cells. Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst and are pluripotent, able to differentiate into any adult cell type. Stem cell research offers potential applications in drug testing, cell-based therapies, and organ regeneration but faces challenges in controlling differentiation, immune rejection, and ethical objections.
Therapeutic cloning involves creating cloned embryos solely to derive embryonic stem cells for research and medical treatment. These stem cells can potentially be used to treat diseases like heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson's, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The procedure for therapeutic cloning, also called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), is similar to reproductive cloning and involves removing the nucleus from an egg cell and replacing it with the nucleus of a donor adult cell. The cloned embryo is then allowed to develop in vitro until the blastocyst stage when stem cells are extracted. These stem cells can be grown indefinitely in culture and differentiated into various cell types to potentially replace damaged or diseased cells in the body. While therapeutic cloning may help treat genetic diseases and

In placental mammals, the umbilical cord (also called the navel string, birth cord or funiculus umbilicalis) is a conduit between the developing embryo or fetus and the placenta. During prenatal development, the umbilical cord is physiologically and genetically part of the fetus and, (in humans), normally contains two arteries (the umbilical arteries) and one vein (the umbilical vein), buried within Wharton's jelly. The umbilical vein supplies the fetus with oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from the placenta. Conversely, the fetal heart pumps deoxygenated, nutrient-depleted blood through the umbilical arteries back to the placenta.
The blood within the umbilical cord, known as cord blood, is a rich and readily available source of primitive, undifferentiated stem cells (of type CD34-positive and CD38-negative). These cord blood cells can be used for bone marrow transplant.
Some parents choose to have this blood diverted from the baby's umbilical blood transfer through early cord clamping and cutting, to freeze for long-term storage at a cord blood bank should the child ever require the cord blood stem cells (for example, to replace bone marrow destroyed when treating leukemia).
In the future, cord blood-derived embryonic-like stem cells (CBEs) may be banked and matched with other patients, much like blood and transplanted tissues. The use of CBEs could potentially eliminate the ethical difficulties associated with embryonic stem cells (ESCs).
Stem cells are the foundation cells that can differentiate into specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. There are several types of stem cells including embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Stem cell therapy uses stem cells or their derivatives to replace or repair damaged tissues. Current stem cell therapies include blood stem cell transplants, but challenges remain in isolating the right stem cells, avoiding rejection issues, and ensuring the stem cells integrate properly in the body.

5. Cryo-save India (part of Cryo-Save NV) The cord blood is rich in residual cells which were not used in developing the fetus. U Cord stem cells are called Naïve Stem cells. Cord blood is now being used increasingly on an experimental basis as a source of stem cells, as an alternative to bone marrow. Why stem cells from U cord Blood ?

7. 1 in every 300 of the jelly cells is a stem cell. 1 out of 200 million cord blood cells is a stem cell As it is a new source harvesting is slow and manual, requires in house R&D for proper harvesting techniques Harvesting is easy and well defined can differentiate into a variety of cell types can differentiate into blood and immune cells Rich in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Rich in Hematopoietic Stem Cells Cord lining Cord Blood
8. Time Vs transplant Matching probability Time Vs Availability Quantity Source Vintage New source of stem cells Since 1975 Old source of stem cells In use since 1950’s Once frozen, a Sample is always available for the Family Donor must be found and confirm to the HLA typing 100% match for the child an 25% match for family members per sample Requires a perfect match When a match is found, can take only a few days for confirmatory and special testing and shipment to the Transplant Center. After a formal search is begun, takes an average of 4 months to transplant, if a donor is available. Larger amount of stem cells are harvested from Cord Blood + Cord Lining 7.5 – 25 x 10 ⁹ /ml Approx 2 - 5 x 10 ⁹ / ml Or 2% of a persons bone marrow Harvested for Umbilical Cord (bio Medical waste) No harm to Mother or child Harvested from pelvic / hip joint Takes 4-6 hrs with side effects Umbilical Cord Bone marrow

14. Cryo-save India (part of Cryo-Save NV) 1. All diseases cured using stem cells are clinical trails and not therapies 2. Stem Cell therapy as a 3 rd alternative method of cure will take time. 3. Therapy procedures using stem cells are yet to be defined, published in medical journals and recognized by the governing bodies. 4. It is currently as a supportive therapy. Clarity on Stem Cell Therapy
15. In many diseases, cells are dead or damaged. Researchers are exploring ways of using stem cells to produce cells which could replace these. This is basically called as « REGENERATIVE THERAPY » Much research is currently focused on using new heart muscle cells to help heart failure patients, and on producing new brain neurons to treat people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's diseases . How is Therapy done using stem cells
17. The first successful cord blood transplant was performed in 1988 on a 5 year old boy with Fanconi’s Anemia (a rare, genetic and lethal type of anemia) He was given 0% chance for survival. The donor was his newborn sister. Today, he is alive and free from disease more than 20 years after the transplant. In February 2007 a child suffering from a severe T-cell (CD8+) immune deficiency syndrome has been treated successfully with umbilical cord blood stem cells in Portugal. The stem cells used for this transplantation were h arvested from the umbilical cord blood . The umbilical cord blood sample was processed and stored at the private stem cell bank facilities of Cryo-Save in Belgium. History of Stem cell Therapy
18. Cryo-save India (part of Cryo-Save NV) Treatment of heart problems using stem cells was first in March 2005 by AIIMS in New Delhi when trials were conducted on 35 patients. There was no mortality reported and all patients were brought in at a stage where surgery was ineffective. After six months, 56 % of the affected area injected with these cells showed improvement. After 18 months, this went up to 64% Source:http://stemcell.taragana.net/archive/success-rate-of-stem-cell-therapy-in-india-is-encouraging/ Success Stories in India

22. Six Year Old Sumaiya Aziza’s eye was damaged when a packet of wet lime or chuna had exploded into her eyes her parents had come to the L.V. Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) in Hyderabad in August 2001. A special form of cornea transplant was performed on her damaged eye. It was a historic first in India: Dr Virendra Sangwan simply took a small piece of limbus (border of cornea) from Aziza’s healthy right eye, cultured it on an amniotic membrane in the lab and after 11 days put it back into her wounded left eye. The techniques he used were “indigenous, innovative and low-tech”. By 2004, when President A.P. J. Abdul Kalam visited the eye institute, Aziza had near-normal vision with her glasses. Kalam was so impressed that he later invited a senior surgeon of the hospital, Dr Taraprasad Das, now working on retina reconstruction with stem cells, to join him on his East Asia tour to speak of India’s stem cell success story Source:http://stemcell.taragana.net/archive/success-rate-of-stem-cell-therapy-in-india-is-encouraging/ L.V.
