Cancer Stem Cells: The Origin of Cancer
Irving Weissman, professor of developmental biology at Stanford University Medical Center, addresses what cancer stem cells are, how they maintain themselves and why they may be resistant to some current treatments. Weissman also talks about the "don't eat me" signal and how it relates to the growth of certain types of cancer cells. Find out how Stanford scientists and clinicians are working to identifying cancer stem cells in many types of tumors and how they have used that information to develop new therapeutic strategies.

OSU Medical Center Using Stem Cell Therapy for Critical Limb Ischemia Patients
A new treatment option, using a person's own stem cells, could hold promise for some of the hundreds of thousands of patients suffering from critical limb ischemia, which blocks blood flow to the legs resulting in constant pain, ulcer formation or gangrene. Researchers and clinicians at The Ohio State University Medical Center recently enrolled the first patient in a new trial testing the effectiveness of marrow-derived stem cell therapy for patients affected by critical limb ischemia (CLI).
