Exosomes from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) Overexpressing miR-21 Promote Vascularization of Endothelial Cells

miR-21 has been indicated to be an important regulator of angiogenesis, involving in regulating the proliferation and migration of vascular cells, like endothelial cells. Direct evidences have shown that downregulation of miR-21 expression signifcantly reduces the proliferation and migration of HUVECs, and conversely, miR-21 overexpression signifcantly enhances HUVECs proliferation and migration, indicating the importance of

Pluripotent Stem Cell-Based Therapeutics for Muscular Dystrophies

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) represent an attractive cell source for treating muscular dystrophies (MDs) since they easily allow for the generation of large numbers of highly regenerative myogenic progenitors. Using reprogramming technology, patient-specific PSCs have been derived for several types of MDs, and genome editing has allowed correction of mutations, opening the opportunity for their

Success of gene therapy for a form of inherited blindness depends on timing

An FDA-approved gene therapy for Leber congenital amaurosis, an inherited vision disorder with a childhood onset and progressive nature, has improved patients’ sight. But new research underscores the importance of further investigation to halt the progression of the disorder. Nearly two decades ago, a gene therapy restored vision to Lancelot, a Briard dog who was

Two therapies cure rare genetic disease in mice

In pair of studies, UCLA researchers describe new ways to treat a metabolic liver disorder Source UCLA Newsroom Most babies who are born with arginase deficiency — a rare genetic disease that leads to the accumulation of the amino acid arginine in the blood — don’t have symptoms at first. By the time they’re toddlers,

Scientists triple storage time of human donor livers

NIH-funded research project develops new method to preserve human livers for transplantation. Source NIH Scientists have greatly extended the amount of time human livers can be stored for transplantation by modifying a previous protocol to extend the viability of rat livers. Previously, human livers were only viable for an average of nine hours, but the

Stem cell clinics accused of taking advantage of patients

Private clinics offering tantalising hopes from stem cell treatment are being accused of taking advantage of desperate patients and exposing them to risks. New Zealand’s public health system has offered stem cell bone marrow transplants for cancer patients for many years, but a collection of private clinics have also sprung up offering expensive stem cell

New Google policy bars ads for unproven stem cell therapies

“Untested, deceptive treatments” can endanger consumers, Internet giant says. Responding to ubiquitous online marketing by stem cell clinics selling unapproved treatments for everything from achy joints to Alzheimer’s, Google announced Friday it will no longer accept ads for “unproven or experimental medical techniques,” including most stem cell therapy, cellular therapy and gene therapy. The Internet
