Lecture by stem cell researcher tomorrow

By Uncategorized

Celebrated adult stem cell researcher Shinya Yamanaka will
deliver a lecture, ‘New era of medicine with iPS cells', here
on Monday as part of a three-city lecture series. Prof.
Yamanaka's scientific breakthrough was the creation of
embryonic-like stem cells from adult skin cells.

The lecture by this Japanese physician is the third edition of
The Cell Press-TNQ India Distinguished Lectureship Series. He
will also deliver it in Chennai on February 1 and New Delhi on
February 3. The lecture series is co-sponsored by Cell Press
and TNQ Books and Journals.

Quantum leap

The stated goal of Prof. Yamanaka's laboratory has been to
generate pluripotent stem cells from human somatic cells. The
ability to re-programme adult cells back into an earlier,
undifferentiated state has helped to reshape the ethical debate
over stem cell research by providing an approach to obtain
pluripotent stem cells that need not be harvested from an
embryo.

Prof. Yamanaka, who was awarded the Albert Lasker Prize in 2009
and the Wolf Prize in 2011, is the director of the Centre for
iPS Cell Research and Application and professor at the
Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences at Kyoto University. He
is also a senior investigator at the UCSF-affiliated J. David
Gladstone Institutes and a professor of Anatomy at the
University of California in San Francisco.

Previous lectures

The inaugural speaker of the lecture series was American
biologist David Baltimore, who won the 1975 Nobel. The second
speaker was Australia-born American biological researcher
Elizabeth Blackburn, awarded the 2009 Nobel.

The lecture in Bangalore will commence at 4.30 p.m. at J.N.
Tata Auditorium, National Science Seminar Complex, Indian
Institute of Science, C.V. Raman Road.

Vet-Stem Announces Milestone of 8,000 Animals Treated With Vet-Stem Cell Therapy

By Stem Cell Treatment

POWAY, CA--(Marketwire -01/27/12)- Vet-Stem, Inc. today
announced that over 8,000 animals have now been treated with
Vet-Stem cell
therapy.

Vet-Stem
began providing stem cells to veterinarians in 2004
and has now provided stem cells for the treatment of over
8,000 animals. Vet-Stem was the first company to introduce
rapid turnaround stem cell services in the US. After
providing stem cells for thousands of horses, Vet-Stem
pioneered stem
cell therapy in dogs and cats and is now the world
leader in Regenerative Veterinary Medicine™. The rapid
adoption of stem cell therapy by equine veterinarians and
horse owners provided a springboard for use in small animal
veterinary medicine.

Greater than 75% of horses treated with Vet-Stem cell therapy
for tendon and ligament injuries are able to return to their
previous level of performance. Dog owners report that greater
than 80% of dogs treated with Vet-Stem cell therapy have an
improved quality of life.

"We are proud that so many dog, horse, and cat owners as well
as veterinarians have placed their trust in Vet-Stem cell
therapy. We feel a great sense of accomplishment knowing that
there are now over 8,000 horse and pet owners who have
experienced the benefit of stem cell technology. This
practical and beneficial application of technology puts stem
cell therapy into the present day instead of a future
theoretical concept," said Bob Harman, DVM, MPVM, Founder and
CEO of Vet-Stem.

Vet-Stem is now working with small animal veterinarians to
develop other life-saving uses for stem cell therapy for
injuries and diseases that currently have few treatment
options.
