TGF-beta stimulating bone marrow to cardiac in vitro
Yamaguchi, Japan - The ability of various mesenchymal stem cell populations and CD34 stem cell populations to help in stimulation of cardiac regeneration is a current belief by many investigators. Although some positive in vivo data have been...
Autologous G-CSF mobilized CD34 for angina
Chicago, IL - The use of stem cells for myocardial repair was originally proposed after mouse studies demonstrated what appeared to be human bone marrow derived stem cells differentiating into myocardium. Subsequently, these experiments were translated into clinical studies, which utilized autologous bone marrow cells as sources of...
Tooth stem cells for heart attack
Valencia, Spain - Mesenchymal stem cells have been detected in bone marrow, peripheral blood, muscle and even in menstrual blood. Another...

Hepatocyte Growth Factor Helps After Heart Attack
Los Angeles, CA -
It is known that mesenchymal stem cells are useful for treating patients after a heart attack. What is however unknown is exactly how these cells mediate their effects. On the one hand mesenchymal stem cells are known to inhibit various inflammatory... Cincinnati, OH -
Commercialization of stem cell therapy is difficult since sometimes one doesn't really know what the product is. Additionally, there could be many products that are developed that are used in the implimentation of a single therapy.
A current publication (Pasha et al. Preconditioning Enhances Cell Survival and Differentiation of Stem Cells during Transplantation in... The University of Latvia hosted an international conference entitled “Stem Cells and Cell Therapy” on November 2nd, 2007. StemCellPatents.com sent a representative to observe the meeting.
Meeting organizer Dr Janis Ancans provided an overview of the state of the art in stem cell research, followed by data describing characterization of dermal, adipose, and bone marrow derived stem cell... New Orleans, LA -
The use of adult stem cells for heart failure has previously been reported. What is interesting is the possibility of using autologous adult adipose derived stem cells for this condition. The beauty of adipose derived stem cells is, of course, that they are available in autologous settings in large numbers... Houston, Texas -
One of the main concerns regarding adult stem cells that is often mentioned is their limited expression of telomerase in contrast to embryonic stem cells. In a recent study (Madonna et al. Myocardin A Enhances Telomerase Activities in Adipose Tissue Mesenchymal Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells Undergoing Cardiovascular Myogenic Differentiation. em Cells. 2007 Oct 4) it was...

This is a video of a heart failure patient describing a remarkable recovery after treatment with adult stem cells. [Watch the Video]
This video discusses how heart attacks generate VEGF which mobilizes stem cells to leave the bone marrow and enter systemic circulation, presumably on the way to the heart. Interestingly, the paper reviewed in the video was published in 2001. Since then numerous other studies have demonstrated VEGF and other...
