Brownback signs into law bill establishing adult stem cell research and treatment at KU Medical Center

By SCOTT ROTHSCHILD, The Lawrence Journal-World

In a mix of science and anti-abortion politics, Gov. Sam Brownback on Monday signed into law a bill that establishes the nation's first adult stem cell research and treatment center at the Kansas University Medical Center.

"I am honored to sign this bill of hope and promise and current treatments," Brownback said.

Brownback described adult stem cell and umbilical cord blood research as an "exploding" area of new discoveries to treat people with a wide range of diseases. "KU will be the leader, Kansas will be the leader, which is fabulous in this burgeoning field," he said.

But the bill carried political overtones.

It was sponsored by vehement abortion opponents and pushed by the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian lobbying group.

In addition, KU never asked for the legislation establishing what will be known as the Midwest Stem Cell Center, and the Legislature has yet to produce the estimated $1.1 million needed for the center's startup.

The center is prohibited from using embryonic stem cells or cells taken from aborted fetal tissue. Abortion opponents oppose human embryonic stem cell research because it involves the destruction of the embryo.

Dr. Buddhadeb Dawn, director of the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases at KU Medical Center, was the only KU representative on hand at the bill-signing ceremony. He said the number of clinical trials of bone marrow stem cells for treatment of heart disease had been increasing tremendously over the past several years.

"It would be great to bring such therapies to Kansas, and the formation of such a center which would engage in adult stem cell therapy in patients would give Kansans the chance to be enrolled in such therapy and perhaps give treatment that would change their life," he said.

Kris wants stem cell therapy for son Josh

Joshua Aquino plays piano for mom Kris. File photo

MANILA, Philippines Host-actress Kris Aquino explained that one of the reasons she is going on temporary leave from showbiz is because she wanted her eldest son, Josh, to undergo stem cell therapy.

During her morning talk show on ABS-CBN, Kris TV, on Tuesday, Aquino said she is considering three options for the treatment of Josh, who is a special child.

The first option is for Josh to undergo treatment in Europe, where live animal stem cells are used.

Kasi meron akong mga friends na yung mga anak nila underwent stem cell therapy and yung condition nila is just like Josh. They had special children, Aquino explained to comedienne Melai Cantiveros, her guest co-host on Kris TV.

Kasi sobrang laki yung naging improvement. So tomorrow, Melai, meron kaming appointment kay Dr. Rex Gloria, who is involved with one of those hospitals sa Europe na gumagawa nito, she added.

Aquino said her second option is to avail of a new treatment in Singapore, which involves the use of fat-derived human stem cells.

Meron daw sa Singapore na kinukuha daw sa nanay yung stem cell. Parang manggagaling sa fat ng nanay, kasi yung fat ng nanay ang pinaka-highly concentrated yung stem cell, doon, she said. So kukunin either sa hita daw o sa tiyan ng mom, tapos ita-transfer doon sa anak.

Meanwhile, Aquino said her third option is to go to The Medical City in Pasig.

May pangatlo pa being done in Medical City naman now. But that study will be done in July. Yun naman, galing sa bone marrow. Medyo masakit daw yun talaga kasi imagine, bone marrow extraction, she said.

Stem Cell Harvest Offered At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery, Inc.

BEVERLY HILLS,Calif., April 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Imagine a future where doctors can grow new blood vessels for you when you need them, or rebuild cartilage in your knee or shoulder instead of undergoing surgery. While it sounds like science fiction, it is soon to be science fact, according to numerous medical institutions such as Wake Forest University, Stanford University, Duke and University of Texas. Stem cells, taken from a patient's own body, are the key to regenerating many types of human tissue including heart, liver and bone.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130423/LA97775)

Stem cells are 'multipotent," which means they can reproduce to become other types of cells like soft muscle and cartilage. Using a patient's own stem cells, doctors have successfully regenerated knee cartilage in patients with arthritis, and heart muscle for patients who have suffered damage after a heart attack. In the field of tissue engineering, doctors have 'grown' new bladders, tracheas and blood vessels for patients that have had disease or injury.

And the richest source of stem cells in the human body our fat, medically known as 'adipose tissue."

Dr. Gabriel Chiu is a highly-regarded plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in the art of aesthetic plastic surgery. As the medical director of Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery, Inc. and the SPA @ BHPS, Inc., Dr. Chiu oversees the beauty transformation and maintenance of over 15,000 clients worldwide including celebrities, politicians, royalty, athletes and social luminaries. Widely recognized for his advanced surgical techniques and technologies used, Dr. Chiu's patients commend him for his natural-looking surgical results, impeccable beauty aesthetic, and incomparable professional integrity. Dr. Gabriel Chiu is the recipient of the Patients' Choice Award 2008-2012.

Dr. Chiu states: "We are excited to add fat derived stem cell banking as a part of our full-service, concierge-oriented plastic surgery practice. Just like fetal cord banking, it may one day be the solution to severe diseases and cancer. This is one cosmetic 'luxury' that patients cannot afford to be without."

"It just makes sense," continues Dr. Chiu. "We have millions of vital stem cells in our fat and historically we have just thrown this away. Now my patients can easily store these cells so they have their youngest stem cells for all of the regenerative applications that are on the horizon. The advances with stem cells are pretty astounding," Dr. Chiu adds.

Patients who are having liposuction, tummy tuck, arm or thigh lift, breast reduction, or fat transfer have a convenient time to collect and send their tissue to AdiCyte for storage of their stem cells. Even if you are not having any surgery, your stem cells can be collected in a 20 minute, in-office procedure.

Over the past year, many known public figures have used their adipose-derived stem cells for regenerative medicine including TV actress Suzanne Somers, football quarterback Peyton Manning, baseball pitcher, Bartolo Colon, and Governor Rick Perry, who underwent treatment in 2012 for spinal repair using his own stem cells.

Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery, Inc. is a full-service plastic surgery practice and medical spa located in the heart of Beverly Hills, Ca.

Kris Aquino wants son Josh to undergo stem-cell therapy

Nais ni Kris Aquino na ipagamot ang panganay na anak na si Josh.

Ito ang isa sa mga dahilan na ibinahagi ng TV host-actress sa entertainment editor ng Balita na si Dindo Balares.

Ayon sa kolumn na Prangkahan na lumabas noong Biyernes, April 19, sinabi ni Kris, Ipapagamot ko kasi through stem-cell therapy sa Singapore this June si Josh.

Kuwento ni Kris, nahikayat siyang ipagamot ang kanyang 16-year-old na anak dahil sa positibong resulta sa pagpapagamot ng anak ng kanyang isang kaibigan.

Tulad ni Josh, may Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD-HD) din ang anak ng kaibigan ni Kris.

Lahad ni Kris, Hindi nakakapagsalita ang anak ng friend ko.

In fact, wala rin kahit eye contact.

Pero after ng treatment, ang laki-laki ng improvement, at nakakabuo na ng full sentence.

Dagdag pa niya, Gusto kong i-try. Kasi, ayokong maisip pagdating ng araw na may means naman ako to avail the treatment pero hindi ko ginawa.

Kung sakaling matuloy, kakailanganin daw ng buong atensyon ni Kris habang nagpapagamot si Josh.

Stem cell transplant restores memory, learning in mice

Apr. 21, 2013 For the first time, human embryonic stem cells have been transformed into nerve cells that helped mice regain the ability to learn and remember.

A study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is the first to show that human stem cells can successfully implant themselves in the brain and then heal neurological deficits, says senior author Su-Chun Zhang, a professor of neuroscience and neurology.

Once inside the mouse brain, the implanted stem cells formed two common, vital types of neurons, which communicate with the chemicals GABA or acetylcholine. "These two neuron types are involved in many kinds of human behavior, emotions, learning, memory, addiction and many other psychiatric issues," says Zhang.

The human embryonic stem cells were cultured in the lab, using chemicals that are known to promote development into nerve cells -- a field that Zhang has helped pioneer for 15 years. The mice were a special strain that do not reject transplants from other species.

After the transplant, the mice scored significantly better on common tests of learning and memory in mice. For example, they were more adept in the water maze test, which challenged them to remember the location of a hidden platform in a pool.

The study began with deliberate damage to a part of the brain that is involved in learning and memory.

Three measures were critical to success, says Zhang: location, timing and purity. "Developing brain cells get their signals from the tissue that they reside in, and the location in the brain we chose directed these cells to form both GABA and cholinergic neurons."

The initial destruction was in an area called the medial septum, which connects to the hippocampus by GABA and cholinergic neurons. "This circuitry is fundamental to our ability to learn and remember," says Zhang.

The transplanted cells, however, were placed in the hippocampus -- a vital memory center -- at the other end of those memory circuits. After the transferred cells were implanted, in response to chemical directions from the brain, they started to specialize and connect to the appropriate cells in the hippocampus.

The process is akin to removing a section of telephone cable, Zhang says. If you can find the correct route, you could wire the replacement from either end.

TiGenix : positive Phase IIa study results in refractory rheumatoid arthritis with allogeneic stem cell product Cx611

Regulated information April 22, 2013

TiGenix reports positive Phase IIa study results in refractory rheumatoid arthritis with allogeneic stem cell product Cx611

Management will conduct a conference call to discuss the results today at 4pm CET, 10am EST Dial-in numbers are provided at the end of this press release

Leuven (BELGIUM) - April 22, 2013 - TiGenix (NYSE Euronext: TIG), the European leader in cell therapy, today announced positive 6-month safety data of its Phase IIa study of Cx611 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as a first indication of therapeutic activity on standard outcome measures and biologic markers of inflammation for at least three months after dosing.

The multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIa trial enrolled 53 patients with active refractory rheumatoid arthritis (mean time since diagnosis 15 years), who failed to respond to at least two biologics (mean previous treatment with 3 or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and 3 or more biologics). The study design was based on a three-cohort dose-escalating protocol. For both the low and medium dose regimens 20 patients received active treatment versus 3 patients on placebo; for the high dose regimen 6 patients received active treatment versus 1 on placebo. Patients were dosed at day 1, 8, and 15 and were followed up monthly over a six-month period. Follow-up consisted of a detailed monthly workup of all patients measuring all pre-defined parameters. The aim was to evaluate the safety, tolerability and optimal dosing over the full 6 months of the trial, as well as exploring therapeutic activity.

Only one patient suffered serious adverse events that led to discontinuation of the treatment. All other side effects were mild and transient. Importantly, the first results show no signs of hematological side effects or thrombosis.

Measured clinical activity scores were ACR20(1), ACR50(1), ACR70(1), EULAR(2) response rates, and the disease activity score DAS28(3). To gain a first insight into the therapeutic activity, these parameters were evaluated every month for six months. The below tables reflect cumulated results in percentages of all three active treatment arms at months 1 (M1), 2 (M2), 3 (M3), and "final visit" (FV). A more detailed analysis is currently ongoing.

For all graphs, N=46 for Cx611 and N=7 for placebo.

Please click on the link at the bottom of the message to see the table ("Table1").

"This Phase IIa cell therapy trial is a landmark study that gives us a first indication of the potential of cell therapy in rheumatoid arthritis. The positive safety results combined with a new mechanism of action are promising, and warrant further clinical investigation," said Dr. Jos Mara lvaro-Gracia, MD, PhD, Head of the Biological Therapies Unit at the Hospital Universitario de La Princesa, Madrid, Spain, and Principal Investigator of the study.

Fate Therapeutics Presents Preclinical Efficacy Data for WNT7A-Analog Program at Muscular Dystrophy Association 2013 …

SAN DIEGO, April 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fate Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of adult stem cell modulators, announced today the presentation of preclinical data from its WNT7a protein analog program for the treatment of muscular dystrophy at the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) 2013 Scientific Conference, April 21-24, in Washington DC. The presentations describe the engineering of pharmaceutically optimized WNT7a protein analogs, as well as their mechanism of action and efficacy profile in preclinical pharmacology studies.

"The data presented today provide strong preclinical support for the therapeutic potential of WNT7a analogs in muscular dystrophy, a complex group of disorders with a large unmet need for novel, differentiated and potentially complementary treatment approaches," commented Christian Weyer, M.D., M.A.S., President and Chief Executive Officer of Fate Therapeutics. "We are working towards the nomination of an investigational new drug (IND) candidate later this year, and are excited about the potential to advance this new mechanism toward clinical studies."

In the MDX mouse model of muscular dystrophy, intramuscular injection of a novel WNT7a analog resulted in significant dose dependent muscle hypertrophy and several-fold expansion of the satellite stem cell population. Moreover, three weeks after a single intramuscular injection, functional assessment revealed a significant increase in strength of the targeted tibialis anterior muscle (+18%, p

The findings obtained with Fate's optimized WNT7a analogs expand upon those previously reported with non-modified WNT7a protein. In November 2012, muscle biology expert and Fate Therapeutics scientific founder Dr. Michael Rudnicki published data demonstrating the potential of WNT7a to ameliorate muscle degeneration in the MDX mouse model of muscular dystrophy (Von Maltzahn et. al., PNAS 2012). In previous studies, Dr. Rudnicki elucidated the unique biology of WNT7a and its dual mechanism of action of driving the expansion of the muscle satellite stem cell population and muscle hypertrophy.

About Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular dystrophies encompass a group of disorders with diverse pathophysiological manifestations resulting from genetic aberrations which include mutations or deletions to over 30 distinct genes. The most prevalent and well characterized is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an X-linked form of muscular dystrophy which is seen in 1/3500 live male births. DMD typically manifests in early childhood and progresses to an advanced stage of severe muscular degeneration resulting in impairment of ambulation and premature mortality. A core pathophysiologic phenomenon seen in muscular dystrophy is a cycle of muscle degeneration leading to continuous compensatory satellite cell activation and differentiation to affect a regenerative response, but resulting in the eventual exhaustion of the regenerative capacity and significant loss of muscle function. Enhancing the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms to restore the regenerative capacity of muscle satellite stem cells thus represents a promising and unique approach for therapeutically intervention in various forms of muscular dystrophy as well as other neuromuscular diseases.

About Fate Therapeutics, Inc.

Uniquely positioned at the intersection of stem cell science and orphan disease, Fate Therapeutics is pioneering the discovery and development of innovative adult stem cell modulator therapeutics with the potential to cure or transform the lives of patients with rare life-threatening disorders.

Voices Against Brain Cancer Comments on New Study Claiming Fat Tissue Stem Cells can Fight Brain Cancer

Medical Daily reports on a new study where stem cells from fat tissue were used to help track difficult regions in the brain prone to remission. Voices Against Brain Cancer releases a statement encouraging more stem cell research.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 18, 2013

According to the Medical Daily article by Ansa Varughese, the study showed that stem cells from fat tissue can be used to track difficult regions in the brain prone to remission. Scientists cannot yet determine why or how these stem cells target the prone areas, but the cells seem naturally drawn to the damaged areas. Researchers are using the stem cells as transporters to help deliver drugs for treatment in the cancer spreading regions of the brain.

Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa, the lead researcher and professor of neurosurgery, oncology, and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins, was quoted in the article as saying, The biggest challenge in brain cancer is the migration of cancer cells. Even when we remove the tumor, some of the cells have already slipped away and are causing damage somewhere else. Building off our findings, we may be able to find a way to arm a patient's own healthy cells with the treatment needed to chase down those cancer cells and destroy them. It's truly personalized medicine.

The Medical Daily article goes on to mention that harvesting the mesenchymal stem cells from the fat tissue is safer than getting the cells from bone marrow. While it will still take years before a clinical trial happens in the U.S., the new stem cell treatment could play a major part in battling brain cancer.

Michael Klipper, Chairman of VABC, offers his comments on the new study. This is a great step toward battling brain cancer. While its still a new study, it seems to be having positive results, and can hopefully become something used in brain cancer treatment in the future. Dealing with brain tumors and the treatment after can be a major, painful ordeal. Hopefully this new study will lead to a new way patients can be treated after theyve had a tumor removed.

VABC has a wide variety of initiatives in place for brain cancer research, awareness and support. The organizations research grants fund cutting-edge research programs that will have a monumental impact on the diagnosis and treatment of brain cancer. VABC currently funds research at several esteemed institutions such as Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Harvard, John Hopkins, Memorial Sloan-Kettering and Yale, to name a few.
