HLG-G made by mesenchymal stem cells
Besancon, France - The ability of mesenchymal stem cells to inhibit inflammatory immune responses has been established in in vitro models, as well as in clinical trials of inflammatory conditions, such as the trials of Osiris for treatment of GVHD and Crohn's disease. In a recent paper (Selmani Z et al. HLA-G5 secretion by Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Is Required to Suppress T-lymphocyte and...Monday October 15th, 2007 @ 19:46:23 EST
Stem cells for diabetes: 2 types better than one
Budapest, Hungary - Numerous studies have demonstrated that bone marrow stem cells, as well as other types of stem cells have the ability to reconstitute insulin production in animals whose insulin producing cells are damaged by chemical or immune agents. The problem with clinical translation of these types of approaches is the difficulty not just to obtain insulin production, but to obtain...Sunday October 14th, 2007 @ 15:37:34 EST

StemCellPatents Violate Human Dignity
Research Triangle Park, NC - We at stemcellpatents.com usually stick to scientific and sometimes patent law issues when we write this news section. However, a recent publication (Resnik. Embryonic Stem Cell Patents and Human Dignity. Health Care Anal. 2007 Sep;15(3):211-222. Epub 2007 Mar 29) on stem cell ethics made us discuss a topic that we usually don't touch upon: Ethics of...Tuesday October 9th, 2007 @ 20:30:03 EST
Adipose Stem Cells With Telomerase and Myocardin A
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...Sunday October 7th, 2007 @ 13:46:25 EST

Cancer stem cell chemoresistance
Hong Kong, China - It is known that similar to normal tissue, cancer tissue has differentiated cells, and stem cells. The stem cells contribute to, and maintain, the tumor mass. Since numerous properties of stem cells are becoming elucidated, such as markers (CD133) and specific characteristics (rhodamine 123 efflux), these properties are being used to purify cancer stem cells and to study...Tuesday September 25th, 2007 @ 10:27:03 EST
All Stroma Immune Suppressive
London, UK - The immune suppressive properties of mesenchymal stem cells has led to numerous scientific publications, as well as exploration in clinical cases of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Circulating Insulin Producing Stem Cells
Chicago, IL – The generation of stem cells from peripheral blood would be very appealing due to the possibility of autologous use, as well as lack of invasiveness during extraction. In a recent paper (Zhao et al. A unique human blood-derived cell population displays high potential for producing insulin. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2007 Aug 17;360(1):205-11) a type of stem cell called...Tuesday September 18th, 2007 @ 02:24:38 EST
