Mesenchymal Stem Cells Do Not Activate Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
Stockholm, Sweden - Mesenchymal stem cells are far advanced in clinical development with trials being conducted for conditions ranging from multiple sclerosis to Crohn's Disease. One attractive aspects of these cells is their relatively low immunogenicity, thus offering the possibility of performing transfer across allogeneic...
Bone Marrow Stem Cell Background
[Watch the Video] This is a general introductory video about stem cells derived from the bone marrow and therapeutic uses.
Cord blood transplants without immune suppression
[Watch the Video] Dogma in the world of hematologists/oncologists says you can't transplant cord blood across allogeneic barriers without the use of immune suppression. This video explains why that dogma may be wrong.
Use of stem cells for heatstroke
Tainan, Taiwan - The use of stem cells for induction of antiinflammatory response in chronic conditions is feasible at face value. However, the possibility of harnessing antiinflammatory activities of stem cells in acute situations is very intriguing. In a recent study (Chen et al. Human umbilical cord blood-derived CD34+ cells cause attenuation of multiorgan...
Tracking Neural Stem Cells
Stanford, CA - Scientific investigation of cellular therapy whether for regenerative purposes or for immune modulation (ie adoptive transfer of activated NK, LAK, or T cells) has always benefited from the ability to actually see where the implanted cells are going in an in vivo setting. In a recent paper (Guzman et al. Long-term monitoring of transplanted human...

Autoimmunity by non-Th1 cells
Minneapolis, MN - Old school immunology divided responses into Th1 (inflammatory, intracellular responses) and Th2 (antibody mediated, extracellular responses). Classical autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis were considered primarily Th1 type diseases. More recently, the "dogma" of Th1/Th2 immunity has been subjected to numerous...
