Meet Dustin, a Passionate CGT Global Donor
Dustin is passionate about research. Here’s why.
Why is Research Important to You?
Since I’ve been diabetic for nearly 27 years, I am a big supporter of stem cell research. I’ve seen a lot of advances in science in regards to diabetes ever since I got it when I was 14.
I know what it is like firsthand to live with something that I didn’t ask for. There are some days when I have to force myself to go out and do things, I mean I got a 6-year-old son I have to take care of. I got to go to work. I got to do normal life things every day, and it can be hard a lot of times with diabetes.

Read MoreCD34+ Stem Cells Show Protective Effects on Damaged Retina
Intravitreal injections of human bone marrow CD34+ stem cells prevent further retinal damage associated with diabetic retinopathy. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have shown that stem cell injections elicit a protective effect on retinas damaged by diabetes. Using a diabetic retinopathy mouse model system, the scientists demonstrated that intravitreal injections of human bone marrow CD34+ stem cells resulted in homing and integration of the cells into the damaged retina and preservation of the retinal vasculature. The study provides a potential…
Read MoreImpaired MSC Maturation May Lead To Fragile Bone Formation
Mitochondrial dysfunction may impair MSC maturation and inhibit cell proliferation, contributing to fragile bone formation in SRS patients. Patients with Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS), an X-linked recessive condition, exhibit deficient Spermidine Synthase (SMS) gene expression as well as neurodevelopmental defects and osteoporosis, often leading to extremely fragile bones. Although several studies have explored the possible mechanisms by which the disease causes impaired bone formation, the actual cause is yet unknown. One study proposes a correlation between impaired bone formation and dysfunctional multipotent stromal…
