Nuvasive (NUVA): Growth in adult stem cells
2009-04-02 14:00:00 "In all the excitement over the new future for embryonic stem cell, it seems investors have forgotten about adult stem cell products," notes growth stock specialist Dave Dyer.In his Dave Dyer's Newsletter, he explains, "In fact, there are adult stem cell products either already on the market or in late clinical trials. We view this as an excellent opportunity." Here, he looks at NuVasive (NASDAQ: NUVA)."Stem cells can grow into any type of organ or tissue and the promise is that damaged organs may be repaired or even replaced with spare parts grown from stem cells. This amazing potential could revolutionize the life sciences."NuVasive is a rapidly growing company with unique technology for minimally-invasive back surgery; named Osteocel, it is a stem cell-based product used to help with bone grafts done as a part of spinal surgery."This is one of the first regular commercial application of a product based on human stem cells.

Little Ricky?s Obama-Rama Stem Cell Slam
2009-03-12 19:18:00 (And by the way, I also posted here.)Before I say another word, here is a Rasmussen link showing that 52 percent of those polled approved of President Barack Obama?s loosening of federal funding restrictions on embryonic stem cell research here (Rasmussen trends conservative, so that number is likely to be higher), with embryonic stem cell research enjoying the majority of public support in 2007 here, with even most Republicans supporting it in 2005, as noted here.So basically, there really shouldn?t be much more to say about this (at least, you would think so, though I certainly respect someone?s right to dissent on this matter). However, you can leave it to PA?s former Senator Man-On-Dog to wax indignant over it, as follows?Thanks to both high-resolution fetal ultrasounds and the recent debate over partial-birth abortions, opinion polls now reflect a pro-life shift, most especially among our youth.I don?t know how exactly that ties into the statistics I linked to above, but the fa...

Bill Martin: If Obama wins ... speculate on stem cells
2008-10-10 06:00:00 "If Barack Obama wins the presidency, one under-the-radar play would be embryonic stem cell research," says investing and trading expert Bill Martin (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2444). In his Bull Market.com (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2444), he explains, "Geron (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=gern) (NASDAQ: GERN (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=gern)) is the current leader in embryonic stem cell research among publicly traded companies." Here's his review of the stock and the controversial research sector."Embryonic stem cell research in the U.S. is not restricted in any way, as is often popularly believed in this hotly contested debate."The real issue at hand is federal funding, and whether federal taxpayer dollars should be used to help fund the research."Currently, federal funding is only available to firms that won't create embryos for use in scientific research or clone them for any reason, a...
A Stem Cell Flip-Flop From John W. McBush?
2008-09-24 17:47:00 McClatchy Online, in a critique of a campaign ad by Barack Obama, tell us that they believe the Democratic presidential nominee went too far in stating that John W. McBush opposes stem cell research?"Stem-cell research could unlock cures for diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's, too," says an Obama radio ad that's airing in selected states. "But John McCain has stood in the way. He's opposed stem-cell research. Picked a running mate who's against it. And he's running on a platform even more extreme than George Bush's on this vital research. John McCain doesn't understand that medical research benefiting millions shouldn't be held hostage by the political views of a few."This Media Matters post points out that McBush has indeed voted for the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007, and he voted in favor of it on another occasion also. However, this runs counter to his relatively recent ?pro-life? epiphany, something our media apparently doesn?t think is important enough to cov...

MRI tracks stem cells in the heart.
2008-08-26 02:42:00 Now for the first time, researchers have tracked the stem cells in mice using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from their bone marrow origin to the injured site. This opens up the possibility of finding some therapeutic treatment to direct these cells after a heart attack.Mesenchymal stem cells, or MSCs, are found in the bone marrow and can differentiate into certain cell types. They have been detected around heart injuries following a myocardial infarction (heart attack), but whether they come to regenerate heart tissue or to promote healing is still under debate.Using a series of MRI scans, Tom Hu and colleagues at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, GA, have tracked MS?s in a sample of mice. The researchers first transplanted into the bone marrow a few hundred thousand MSCs that had been labeled with both iron-oxide (a molecule that essentially shades out the MRI signal) and a special protein that fluoresces when exposed to blue light. The team then operated on all of the ...

Stem Cell Transplant for Crohn's Back on the Table for me
2008-06-04 16:39:00 Well, I guess me taking place in a stem cell transplant trial is back on the table. I went back to my doctor and am now getting reasy to schedule a sit-down meeting to see if I qualify. Last time I had to get the Humira out of my system which is done. Another update, I have been on 20mg Lexapro for the past month. I don't notice a difference but my wife says I am less of an asshole. Anyone else here on Lexapro?Previous Post:So I saw the Dr. Shafran and Patty today. I gotta say these guys (Winter Park, Fl) are the best gasto doctors I have come across in the 13 years I have had Crohn's Disease. Anyways we discussed a wide variety of topics. I need to be Humira free for 3 months before I can start the clinical trial that is Stem Cell Transplant for Crohn's. The trial is actually a 4 stage blood transfusion that I am going to read up on more (and report my findings tonight).

Watch a Dog Improve with Stem Cell Transplant
2008-05-14 19:33:00 Stem cell research is improving the health of dogs, cats and horses with the new technique of transplanting fat cells alone. The procedure is not invansive, takes little time to heal and shows marked improvement in arthritic, hip dysplasia and other bone degenerative diseases. The story of Dosha is fantastic and I will be interviewing a pet owner today who will give even more details on this remarkable stem cell transplant for dogs. Unlike human stem cell research for humans which has been stopped by the current Bush adminstration - animals are reaping the benefits of completely healing their conditions. The best part it costs 1/5th of a bone transplant or hip replacements currently performed by veterinarians which costs thousands of dollars. Your dog could benefit also from stem cell research and live a pain free life with more activity and bounce in their step. For a vet in your area contact:  http://www.vet-stem.com Stay tuned for further details, but watch this video...

Anti-aging Skin Products Launched From Stem Cell Research
2008-05-03 01:36:00 National Stem Cell has revealed that it is set to launch a new range of anti-aging products that have been developed using stem cell research.Tropelastin produced by human embryonic stem cells has been utilised by the company's subsidiary Decouverte Cosmetique in skin firming products, CosmeticsDesign.com reports.Chief executive of National Stem Cell Michael Cohen told the website that it is this chemical that can provide women with a 'glow' after they conceive.He added that the company had used pre-2001 stem cells and neither destroyed nor created any cells during product development.Some scientists have criticised the use of stem cell research in the development of cosmetic products because they say the technology is not yet advanced enough to deliver drastic results."The notion that you could do that with a cream is a little bit ahead of itself," dermatologist Dr Kenneth Beer told the LA Times. "It's a great piece of marketing because there is so much interest in stem cells."
Vet Stem Cells Save Dogs From Arthritis
2008-05-02 06:40:00 The new arrival of Vet Regenerative Medicine is here and the use of stem cells in animals such as Dogs, Horses and Cats is becoming a safe and successful procedure for arthritis in pets.  Unlike the embryo cells used in human stem cell research, this procedure uses fat cells that are harvested and re injected into the hip or affected area. The cells then regrow or regenerate health cells and within 30 days there is marked improvement in function and healing with the cell transplants.  A company in San Diego called Vet Stem is the leader in Regenerative medicine using harvested stem cells from the fat cells in an animal which is then implanted into the hip or joint areas and the treatment has a high success rate.  The cells used from one’s body and using your own cells is far superior and heal more quickly without the problems of rejection from foreign cells such as in organ transplants.  Stem cells by nature can take on the traits of many kinds of cells and then rep...
