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…
Read MoreUMBILICAL CORD BLOOD
THE POWER OF THE ADAPTABLE CELLS Cord blood transplants hold promise for treating a wide range of diseases from cancer and diabetes to rare genetic disorders. Within the cord blood are blood-forming stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells. Transplantation of these stem cells into patients with chronic or life-threatening diseases allows regrowth or regeneration of healthy cells. Thus, cord blood stem cell transplants are a form of regenerative medicine, a branch of medicine that replaces, regrows, or repairs tissues damaged by…
Read MoreImproved Method for Quick Identification of Mosquito Blood Meals
A new test offers an improved PCR-based method for the identification of human-, nonhuman mammal-, and bird-derived mosquito blood meals. West Nile virus (WNV), malaria, yellow fever, and Zika are some mosquito-borne diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people each year. The identification of host feeding sources and preferences are essential for studies into the dynamics of transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. An underlying issue is that a mosquito can feed upon multiple hosts, making the identification of host feeding source problematic.…

Read MoreCGT Global NEW Frozen Leukopak
StemExpress’ NEW Frozen Leukopak provides convenience and flexibility in the timing of your research. Basic biomedical research into many human diseases and disorders often starts with living, functional cells and allows extraordinary scientific and technological advances in medical science. Yet, potential delays in accessing these cells can hinder forward progress of research and postpone necessary treatments to patients. by Tera Muir, PhD. Within the last few decades, basic biomedical research using living, functional human primary cells have translated into clinical applications. Clinical…
