Bangkok--2 Jan--Urban Beauty Thailand

Beauty is one of the greatest treasures in everyones life. Everyone is aware enough of the new technologies that arise in our society nowadays. One of them is the stem cells that would perfectly give you the youthful beauty that you wanna have.

Thailand stem cell is a cell that can develop into different types of tissue based on where it is placed in the body. As a result, their potential for regeneration and restoration of old to new is enormous. Although most stem cell therapies for anti-aging are still new, some plastic surgeons are offering stem cell facelift. A stem cell facelift in Thailand is a cosmetic procedure that purportedly uses your own stem cells to remove signs of aging - sagging skin, wrinkles, and decreased facial fullness. Stem cell facelifts have been marketed as a new facial rejuvenation tool.

On the other hand, many women dream of a natural-looking and permanent breast augmentation. Breast augmentation with the Adistem Stem Cell Technology in Thailand, is a gentle procedure that makes this dream a reality without silicone and other artificial fillers, without scars, without general anesthesia, and with no negative effects on natural breast function. This technique is used in the US and used by the doctors affiliated with the Urban Beauty Thailand.

This revolutionary technique is suited for women who have always wanted larger breasts as well as for women who have lost their original breast volume, e.g., through nursing or weight loss. The naturalness, youthful firmness, and durability of the results of Thailand stem cell breast augmentation with the Adistem Technology make them impressive. The best results are achieved with photo activated fat tissue that is processed under Adistem Laser Technology and then injected to the breast rather than artificial foreign materials. The augmented breast feels completely natural and looks genuine in any body position, whether at rest or in motion. Furthermore, the local rejuvenating effect of the Adistem stem cells gives the breasts a more youthful, firmer and tauter appearance.

Aside from the Adistem stem cell facelift and breast augmentation, Urban Beauty Thailand introduced the Adistem stem cell butt augmentation. A newly-popular procedure that women all around the world are undergoing is the Brazilian Butt Lift, which is fat grafting to the buttocks. Since there is no way for some people to add volume to their buttocks, even through daily exercise, the most suitable approach to obtaining fuller contours of the backside is this cosmetic treatment. Performed in a similar fashion to a natural breast augmentation with photo activated fat, the Brazilian butt lift includes the harvesting of fat using the Adistem proprietary medical procedure (mini liposuction), and photo activated fat injections into the buttocks, thus producing a lifted, rounder appearance.

The Adistem procedure is different from the Cell Assisted Lipotransfer or usually known as CAL. The PhotoActivation Technology has also been used for activating adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) for therapeutic and regenerative application since 2008. ASCs lie dormant within adipose tissue and it requires photoactivation for them to awaken and come into full functionality and begin self-renewal by cell division and formation of other cell types by differentiation and transdifferentiation. The very high volume of ASCs in adipose tissue means there is no need to culture in a laboratory for days to achieve therapeutic threshold i.e. therapeutic benefit. Harvesting ASCs is done through a simple, minimally invasive liposuction under local anesthesia. The process is relatively easy and painless and poses minimal risk to the patient. It is a single procedure in a sterile setting.

The procedures of the Urban Beauty Thailand Adistem Stem Cell Facelift, Breast Augmentation and Butt lift came from the US and practiced by the top surgeon in Thailand who is serving for almost 29 years and serving various celebrities and expats not just in Bangkok but all over the world.

Cost of Stem cell in Thailand is an important factor when considering Stem Cell surgery/ therapy. However the quality of stem cell Thailand is more important than the stem cell cost. If the ultimate goal of Stem cell Procedure is to have a happy patient, then the surgeon's expertise and experience are probably more important than the Stem Cell surgery price. Thats why the Urban Beauty Thailand is offering special price for stem cell services that s from 15,000 USD to 9,000 USD that covers the 29 years of expertise and services of the top surgeon in Thailand.

Adult Stem Cell Therapy Breakthrough Leads to Crowd Funding Campaign on Indiegogo.com for Centagen, Inc.

Centagen has developed a breakthrough stem cell therapy that rejuvenates a patient's own adult stem cells. The Company has found a way to expand a patients own stem cells in the lab millions of times while rejuvenating the cells. For example, a patients blood pleuropotent stem cells could be rejuvenated and expanded in the lab and then re-injected to repair and rejuvenate organs and tissues damaged by aging or disease. Centagen has announced a funding campaign at http://www.indiegogo.com/centagen for additonal research and development.

Boulder, Colorado (PRWEB) December 31, 2012

Each of us has a limited supply of the kind of stem cells needed to rebuild, repair, and rejuvenate any part of our body. As we age, the supply and healing power of our stem cells diminishes. By providing a practically unlimited supply of one's own rejuvenated stem cells, we may keep people young and healthy for well over a century. In particular, regenerating tissues and organs prepared by expanding ones own stem cells could help with Alzheimers disease, diabetes, immune senescence, damaged heart tissue, arteriosclerosis, failing kidneys, failing hearing or eyesight, osteoporosis, weak muscles, and aged skin.

The technology requires no genetic engineering of the stem cells, so the procedure is much safer than the current procedures requiring genetic tampering. Only a patients adult stem cells are used, so there are no ethical issues common with embryonic stem cell use or side effects due to tissue rejection by your immune system.

Centagen has recently opened a crowd funding bid at http://www.indiegogo.com/centagen in concert with Maximum Life foundation, whose mission is to make 100 years old the new 50.

The Lives of Kell and Other Children with ASD are Changing Due to The Stem Cell Treatment They Received at the World …

The number of children diagnosed with ASD/Autism is on the rise. The good news is that thanks to the option of Autism treatment with stem cell therapy at World Stem Cells Clinic, parents are enjoying the substantial improvements they are seeing in their children with ASD/Autism.

Cancun, Mexico (PRWEB) December 24, 2012

Autism is a serious developmental problem appearing in early childhood. Before a child turns three-years-old, ASD/Autism can usually be detected. Symptoms seen and the severity of a childs Autism will vary. Autism affects the ability of a child to interact and communicate with others.

Sadly, there is not a cure for Autism, but intensive Autism treatment early on can make an enormous difference in the lives of children who have this disorder.

Children who have ASD/Autism have difficulty meeting some of the typical developmental milestones. These milestones include learning to use the washroom, as well as talking and interacting with others. Children with ASD also tend to perform repetitive body movements (stimming), which can make family outings a challenge.

Kell

The mother of a patient who received Stem Cells Treatment for Autism at the World Stem Cells Clinic details the numerous accomplishments that her son Kell continues to make following stem cell therapy.

Kells mother states that due to the stem cell therapy he received, a completely new environment exists inside Kells body. Kell is now focusing on objects and doing things that he has never done before.

Kell mastered drinking from a straw in just two days and then began drinking from a typical cup of his own accord. Kells mother states that she previously attempted to teach him this skill to no avail. She is ecstatic that he decided to complete this task on his own.

Before his stem cell therapy treatments, Kell would choose something in the store to stim with. Another common occurrence was Kell jumping around in a whirlwind of chaos. However, the most recent trip was different from those before it. Kell actually moved alongside the family while they shopped. Before his stem cell treatment, the family would drag him along and keep him from finding objects to stim with.

OncoMed Pharmaceuticals Initiates Phase 1 Clinical Trial of Anti-Cancer Stem Cell Therapeutic OMP-52M51 (Anti-Notch1)

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a clinical-stage company developing novel therapeutics that target cancer stem cells (CSCs), or tumor-initiating cells, today announced that patient dosing has begun in a Phase 1 clinical trial of OMP-52M51 in patients with hematologic cancers. OMP-52M51 is OncoMeds fifth product candidate to enter clinical development. OMP-52M51 is a proprietary monoclonal antibody that targets the Notch1 receptor. Enrollment of the first patient in the Anti-Notch1 Phase 1 trial has triggered a $4 million milestone payment from the companys strategic collaborator GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).

The first Phase 1 clinical trial of OMP-52M51 is an open-label dose escalation and expansion study in patients with hematologic cancers. These patients are assessed for safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and initial evidence of efficacy, and the clinical trial will also assess a predictive biomarker-based patient selection approach. OncoMed also has filed an additional IND application with the FDA to evaluate this monoclonal antibody in patients with solid tumors.

The trial is being conducted at several sites in the United States including Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI) in Nashville, Tennessee. According to Dr. Ian Flinn of SCRI, who treated the first patient with OMP-52M51, It is exciting to bring a novel antibody such as OMP-52M51 that targets the Notch pathway, a key cancer stem cell pathway, into the clinic. There is significant scientific evidence to suggest that Notch1 could be an important therapeutic target in hematological malignancies, and we look forward to generating clinical data that might help patients with these cancers. The biomarker strategy employed in this study is also quite innovative.

We continue to execute on our core strategy of discovering and advancing novel product candidates that target cancer stem cells, said Paul Hastings, President and Chief Executive Officer of OncoMed Pharmaceuticals. OncoMeds clinical pipeline is broad, and with the addition of this novel Anti-Notch1 antibody, we now have 5 product candidates in the clinic, several which are advancing towards Phase 2 testing. We have made significant progress in building and developing our pipeline, and we look forward to generating important clinical data across each of our product candidates now being tested in humans.

About OMP-52M51

OMP-52M51 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeted to the Notch1 receptor that has shown substantial anti-tumor and anti-CSC activity in Notch-dependent hematologic malignancies and solid tumors in preclinical studies. Certain hematologic malignancies have mutations that increase Notch1 signaling activity and may be a primary driver of tumor growth, as well as resistance to chemotherapy. Predictive biomarker tests have been identified that enable analyses of potential predictive biomarkers in clinical trials for OMP-52M51 to identify those subsets of patients with certain hematologic malignancies or certain solid tumors that may benefit most from the product candidate. OMP-52M51 is part of OncoMeds strategic collaboration with GSK. In December 2007, OncoMed and GSK entered into a broad strategic alliance to discover and develop novel product candidates targeting CSCs via Notch pathway signaling modulation. GSK retains an option through the end of certain Phase 1 or certain Phase 2 clinical trials to obtain an exclusive license to OMP-52M51.

About Cancer Stem Cells

Cancer stem cells, or CSCs, are the subpopulation of cells in a tumor responsible for driving growth and metastasis of the tumor. CSCs, also known as tumor-initiating cells, exhibit certain properties which include the capacity to divide and give rise to new CSCs via a process called self-renewal and the capacity to differentiate or change into the other cells that form the bulk of the tumor. Common cancer drugs target bulk tumor cells but have limited impact on CSCs, thereby providing a path for recurrence of the tumor. OncoMeds product candidates target CSCs by blocking self-renewal and driving differentiation of CSCs toward a non-tumorigenic state, and also impact bulk tumor cells. OncoMed believes its product candidates are distinct from the current generations of chemotherapies and targeted therapies, and have the potential to significantly impact cancer treatment and the clinical outcome of patients with cancer.

Stemedica and Scripps to Jointly Investigate Therapeutic Effect of Ischemia Tolerant Mesenchymal Stem Cells (itMSC …

Stemedica Cell Technologies, Inc., a leading manufacturer of adult ischemia tolerant allogeneic stem cells and stem cell factors announced that the Company has signed an agreement with The Scripps Research Institute to investigate the role of Stemedicas ischemia tolerant human mesenchymal stem cells and stem cell factors as a therapy for severe lung injury and sepsis.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 21, 2012

Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) are the most common causes of respiratory failure among critically ill patients. The mortality for this syndrome remains high at 30-40% and accounts for approximately 75,000 deaths per year. Severe bacterial pneumonia is the most common cause of ALI/ARDS and is frequently associated with septic shock. The only intervention for ALI/ARDS that has resulted in a mortality benefit is low tidal volume ventilation. Despite several attempts, there have been no pharmacological agents that have reduced the morbidity or mortality from ALI/ARDS. Furthermore, treatment of bacterial pneumonia is increasingly hampered by the rapid spread of multi-drug resistant bacteria and the lack of new antimicrobial agents to treat them. Therefore, given the large public health impact of severe bacterial pneumonia and ALI/ARDS, novel therapies are needed to address this common and growing clinical problem.

Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an emerging form of cell-based therapy that have been increasingly studied in experimental models of lung injury and sepsis. Experimental studies have shown that murine MSCs can improve survival, reduce lung injury, and enhance bacterial clearance in clinically relevant models of bacterial pneumonia in mice. These beneficial effects have also been achieved using human MSCs in an ex-vivo human lung model of ALI.

Naveen Gupta, MD, Assistant Professor of Molecular and Experimental Medicine and Principal Investigator at The Scripps Research Institute, has authored and co-authored a number of publications in peer-reviewed journals in this field. He commented that, This project will investigate the therapeutic effects of Stemedicas ischemia tolerant MSCs in experimental lung injury and sepsis. Specifically, it will determine the optimal route, dose and timing of cell delivery in an E. coli pneumonia model. In addition, studies will be done using purified soluble factors secreted by the stem cells to determine whether a therapeutic effect comparable to using live MSCs can be achieved. Dr. Gupta continued: Given Stemedica's expertise in the field of developing MSC-based clinical therapies and the scientific and clinical expertise in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine present at Scripps, I believe that this will be a mutually beneficial and productive collaboration that may have important implications in how cell based therapy is applied to critically ill patients.

Nikolai Tankovich, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Medical Officer of Stemedica noted, One of the great advantages of using Stemedicas cGMP produced, FDB licensed (Food & Drug Branch of the California Department of Public Health) stem cells is that they have already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in a variety of clinical trials. The same cGMP manufactured cell can be used in all phases of the approval process from preclinical through clinical trials and ultimately to commercialization. This will contribute significantly to accelerating the process from benchtop to bedside.

Maynard Howe, Ph.D., Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stemedica commented, We are pleased to be working with a renowned organization like Scripps to advance treatment for this critical condition. The goals of our organizations are aligned--we strive to save lives--and one of the most meaningful ways we can do this is to stem mortality from ARDS.

About The Scripps Research Institute

Stemedica Issued U.S. Patent For Stem Cell Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Optic Neuropathy

Stemedica Cell Technologies, Inc., a leading manufacturer of adult allogeneic stem cells and stem cell factors announced that the Company has been issued U.S. Patent #8,318,485 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This broad-based patent covers the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and other degenerative diseases of the eye with the Companys ischemic tolerant neural (itNSC) and mesenchymal (itMSC) stem cells.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 20, 2012

In the United States, diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new blindness in people 25-74 years of age. Approximately 700,000 persons in the United States have proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Each year another 65,000 are diagnosed with the condition. A recent study has estimated that, among people with diabetes aged 40 or older, 28.5% will develop diabetic retinopathy. Worldwide, it is estimated that 20 million people have proliferative diabetic retinopathy, with this number projected to increase to over 30 million by 2030.

Diabetic retinopathy begins as a vascular condition with microaneurysms in the vessels of the retina. These blood vessels become blocked, thereby depriving portions of the retina from blood supply. This trauma causes the retina to secrete vascularization signals that result in new, fragile, abnormal blood vessels being formed. The thin fragile walls of the new vessels leak fluid into the surrounding tissue, placing pressure on the nerves that become damaged in the process.

Nikolai Tankovich, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Medical Officer of Stemedica noted, The treatment covered by this patent addresses the unique pathophysiology of diabetic retinopathy. Our ischemic tolerant mesenchymal stem cells are able to help restore the damaged endothelial lining and prevent the leakage of the microvasculature. The ischemic tolerant neural stem cells, injected directly behind the eye, address the nerve damage that has occurred with this condition.

The patent was enabled by the results of a six patient clinical study conducted by Natalia Gavrilova, M.D., Ph.D., Head of Vascular & Eye Neurology at the Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Center of Russia, and Professor and Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology of Moscow Medical University. Fyodorov is one of the leading ophthalmologic centers in the world performing over 300,000 procedures a year.

The study, presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting in Florida in the spring of 2011, was conducted without adverse events. Patients experienced improvements in the function of the optic nerve, blood flow to the eye, and reduction of inflammation in the six-month period following injection and became stable for the entire follow up period.

Paul Tornambe, M.D., of Retinal Consultants Inc., in San Diego, California, and former President of the American Society of Retina Specialists, reviewed the data. According to Dr. Tornambe, These preliminary data are encouraging. As we seek to find the best treatments for diabetic retinopathy, it is important to explore many different approaches including combined stem cell treatment.

Maynard Howe, Ph.D., Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stemedica commented, One of the strategic advantages of Stemedica is our ability to manufacture, under cGMP conditions and with the appropriate licensure, multiple types of stem cells and to do so with proven safety, purity and potency. We look forward to utilizing our ischemic tolerant products in addressing eye-related disease.

TiGenix: Positive Interim Safety Results of Phase IIa Rheumatoid Arthritis Study With Allogeneic Adult Stem Cells …

LEUVEN, BELGIUM and MADRID, SPAIN--(Marketwire - Dec 19, 2012) - TiGenix ( EURONEXT BRUSSELS : TIG ), the European leader in cell therapy, announced today positive interim safety results of its Phase IIa study of Cx611 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Cx611 is an intravenously injected suspension of expanded allogeneic adult stem cells derived from human adipose (fat) tissue. The Phase IIa clinical trial is a 53-subject, multicenter, placebo-controlled study in 3 cohorts with different dosing regimens, designed to assess safety, feasibility, tolerance, and optimal dosing. The study is being conducted at 23 centers. The Company believes that this clinical trial can set the stage not only for the further development of Cx611 in RA, but also in a wide range of other autoimmune disorders.

The interim results cover the first three months of the Phase IIa's six-month follow-up, and the data are still blinded. The primary endpoint of this study is safety, and the data collected so far support the good safety profile of all three doses of Cx611. Only two patients (4%) have suffered serious adverse events and only in one case (2%) it led to discontinuation of the treatment. All other side effects were mild and transient.

"We are delighted to report that the safety profile of Cx611 appears to be excellent," said Eduardo Bravo, CEO of TiGenix. "We have recruited patients who have failed at least two biologicals. If, in addition to this promising safety data, we can demonstrate a first indication of efficacy in this difficult to treat patient population, we will have a strong rationale to move forward with this product. We are looking forward to reporting the final results of the study at the end of April 2013."
