Types of Stem Cell Transplantation | Stem Cell …

Stem cells for transplantation can be collected from the blood, bone marrow or umbilical cord blood. The Packard Childrens Hospitals Stem Cell Transplant program offers a full range of stem cell transplantation options:

Autologous stem cell transplant Healthy stem cells are collected from the patient's own blood or marrow. After treatment, the stored stem cells are infused into the patients blood. The healthy stem cells then find their way to the bone marrow and begin to produce new, healthy cells.

Allogeneic stem cell transplant Healthy stem cells are collected from a related or unrelated donor. New, healthy donor stem cells help restore the blood-forming cells of the patients bone marrow.

Anallogeneic relateddonors stem cells genetically match, as close as possible, that of the patient. The donor may be a brother, sister or parent. Siblings have a 1 in 4 chance of being a match. The degree to which the donor's and patient's tissue match is done by a blood test called HLA typing.

Anallogeneic unrelated donor (URD)is not related to the patient but has similar genetic typing. TheNational Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) makes it possible to find similar matches for patients that do not have a related donor. The NMDP registry is comprised of volunteer donors. New donors are added to the list daily.

Haploidentical stem cell transplant Healthy stem cells are collected from a parent or a related or unrelated donor. This provides a genetic match that is at least half identical to the recipient.

Syngeneic stem cell transplant An identical twin is the stem cell donor. Identical twins have identical genetic types and are a perfect match.

Peripheral stem cell transplant Stem cells are collected from the peripheral blood by apheresis. Apheresis is a process where blood is removed from the patient via an IV catheter, the stem cells are selected out by a machine, and the remainder of the blood is returned to the patient. The process takes 3-4 hours/day for 2-5 days total. The peripheral blood stem cells are most often used in the autologous setting where patients receive their own stem cells.

Cord blood stem cell transplant Stem cells are collected from the umbilical cord/placenta immediately following birth. The cells can be stored (frozen) for future use. This can be from a sibling or unrelated donor. We currently perform related or unrelated cord blood transplants in our program.

Dr Mukesh Batra: The alternative medicine man – Livemint

After a 3-hour Zoom interview with Dr Batra, the comparison seems to hold good on many counts. He is easily the best-known, most commercially successful homoeopath from India. His network, spanning six countries, is managed by a team of 400 doctors across 225 clinics. In FY18, his company reported 225 crore in revenue. Like the actor, Dr Batras full head of hair defies his age69. But it would be strange if it didnt. After all, his company built a fortune mainly on the back of hair- and skin-care treatments.

In person, Dr Batra is all wit and charm. Think of (our business) as papad," he says. Lots of housewives made papad in India. Then Lijjat came and institutionalized it." Thats what he did with homoeopathy in India, he says: We formalized and corporatized it."

The chat took place over two sittings, with an hours break at lunchtime. Considerable time was spent discussing the efficacy of his treatments. For, homoeopathy hasnt found acceptance amongst the scientific community. Some go so far as to describe it as hokum, offering hope when there isnt any. Over the past decade, regulatory bodies in several countries have declared their reservations. France has announced it will stop reimbursing citizens for homoeopathic treatment expenses from 2021, theres a growing demand in the UK to follow suit. In 2015, a landmark Australian study analysing over 1,800 papers on homoeopathy concluded there was no good quality evidence to support the claim that homoeopathy is effective in treating health conditions".

Dr Batra, however, has a ready retort. A lot of these studies are biased and we shouldnt get carried away by them," he says. Homoeopathy does have its limitations, he accepts: There isnt much it can do for a gunshot wound, for example. But in many chronic psychosomatic cases, it plays a very good role."

But then, he adds, hes used to sceptics. Back in the 1980s, when I would go to a party and say I am a doctor, people would say, Oh very good. When I would tell them I am a homoeopath, they would do a namaste and then say their bye-byes and thank yous."

In recent years though, homoeopathy has found greater public acceptance and political backing in India. And after the covid-19 outbreak in January, the Union ministry of Ayush (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) recommended Arsenicum Album 30 as an immunity booster". In the following weeks, Dr Batras network, like numerous politicians, businessmen and members of civil society, distributed the pills in large numbers. There are no clinical trials proving its efficacy against covid-19, Dr Batra agrees. But if a proper trial is done, he adds, you can give the world scientific evidence on the basis of which homoeopathy works for various diseases".

In a normal world, it would have been possible to meet Dr Batra at his clinic off Chowpatty in Mumbai. Its a small office behind Wilson College, where he set up his first clinic with the first electronic medical software in the world". But concessions have to be made for the pandemic.

So, one afternoon, my laptop lit up to the living room of a 150-year-old Portuguese mansion in Aldona, Goa. Dr Batra was sitting on a wooden chair, wearing a cool blue polo-neck. A vintage dining set formed the backdrop, a chandelier suspended above it.

His family had flown to Goa in March for a break from the city, Dr Batra says, agreeing that its not a bad place to be stuck in. Plus, we have a mango tree, so we get the best local mangoes. They are not Alphonsos but they are fabulous."

Dr Batra retired from active practice five years ago. His son Akshay, also a homoeopath, runs the day-to-day operations now. Dr Batra continues to be the face of the brand but more as the chairman emeritus". Meaning, I give advice when asked. If not asked, I keep my mouth shut." Lately, he has been spending time in charity work, photography and on penning his biography.

The story begins in Lucknow. Dr Batras parents were doctors. His father, a homoeopath, was the principal at a local college and mother, an allopath, worked as the deputy health secretary with the Uttar Pradesh government. My parents were busy people," he says. I experienced how medicine was all-consuming and decided that I wont become a doctor at all."

In the late 1950s, Dr Batras father landed a job as the principal of the Bombay Homoeopathy College in Vile Parle, now known as Smt Chandaben Mohanbhai Patel Homoeopathic Medical College. He was just 7 when they moved to Mumbai. After he finished high school, a trustee from his fathers college offered him a seat at the institution. He told me homoeopathy was growing, it will be good for you.... I thought, some people mortgage their land and jewellery with the ambition that their child would become a doctor. Here, I was getting an invitation." Was there no entrance exam? It was a relatively new college, says Dr Batra. They wanted people from good homes."

He didnt start off as a serious" student. But he soon had a change of heart. During my college days, I had developed 28 warts on my face. I had the annual day coming up and was supposed to go up on stage for an address." At his fathers suggestion, he used homoeopathic medicines.Within two days, he says, the warts fell off. There were no scars. It was magical."

After a bachelors degree in homoeopathy, he got another in psychology from Pune University. His first job was at a charitable hospital in Malabar Hill, at age 23. Within a few years, he had gained a reputation as a hard-working, enterprising doctor. In 1982, he set up his first clinic, at Chowpatty.

The next decade was a blur. Between consulting patients, paying off loans and raising two children with his now ex-wife Nalini, he was heading for a burn-out. In 1996, he decided to turn his general practice into a super-speciality. He hired a market research agency, surveyed his patients and identified 14 segments where his treatments had shown good results. Once he stopped general consultation, his patient load fell from 150 to two a day. He had more time to research and spend on each diagnosis. Two years on, he rebranded Positive Health Clinic" to Dr Batras Positive Health Clinic".

It was around this time that Dr Batras association with hair loss and skincare treatment began. He hadnt planned on it, he says. The Drugs and Cosmetics Act has a list of diseases one cant advertise for. Hair and skin are an open category. So we started advertising." Later, Akshay, who also became president of the The Trichological Society, UK, drove a targeted outreach for Dr Batras hair-related treatments. Today, says Dr Batra, over 45% of their 80,000 patients are seeking treatment for hair loss.

In business, he says, he followed the Raj Kapoor model: If his movie did well, put the money in a new one." Soon, he set up a second clinic in Bengaluru. Once successful, he set up more, hiring and training a fleet of doctors, expanding to more cities and later, countries. It has only been onward and upwards since.

For all his success, Dr Batra hasnt escaped bad press. Quora and Reddit threads are littered with criticism of him, trashing the 96.6% treatment success rate" he advertises. One of the most commented threads reads, How big a scam is Dr Batras?"

It pains me a lot to see it happening," he says. But its usually the unhappy customers talking about it, not the happy ones."

Between 2013-18, the Advertising Standards Council of India, an independent watchdog, pulled up Dr Batras several times for misleading advertisements and exaggerated claims. In 2014, it was for claiming to have won an award for being Indias only trusted brand in homoeopathy". In 2017, it was for advertising cures for diseases in violation of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act. In 2018, for advertising a certain gene-targeted therapy that could predict and prevent diseases 15-20 years before they show up".

Dr Batra is convinced it boils down to competition, jealousies". Beyond a point, you cant argue. Its a quasi (judicial) body, not legal. So should I waste my time in controversies or get on with my life?" Dr Batras, he adds, is governed by the food and drugs administration (FDA) and the Central Council of Homoeopathy. We have had no complaints so far."

Asked about the resistance to homoeopathy in the West, he says: The (British) royal family uses homoeopathy. I can send a list of important people in the world who do too."

Popular isnt necessarily effective, is it?

The way homoeopathy medicine is administered in the West differs from India, says Dr Batra. There are more than 300 double-blinded randomized control trials (RCTs) done on asthma, arthritis, etc," he adds. While Mint couldnt independently confirm this claim, several reviews of RCTs in homoeopathy have questioned the procedural rigour and quality of evidence. Dr Batra does agree that for homoeopathy to be established as a scientific system, many more trials are needed.

Today, people are looking at holistic healing. The side effects of allopathy are making a move.... And we have government support too, which we didnt have for so many years. As these things keep evolving, you will see the benefit more and more. And just like we took yoga to the world, we will take homoeopathy too."

National Stem Cell Clinic: Stem Cell Therapy in Miami …

What Are Stem Cells?

The cells in your body have an amazing ability to transform into different types of tissues as required. Some may specialize as muscles, tendons, nerve tissue, or bone. Stem cells are a special type of cell that hasnt specialized yet. These cells are essentially a blank slate, capable of turning into a large number of body tissues.

By harvesting stem cells from your own body, doctors can program these tiny building blocks to become the exact type of tissue you need to heal an injury, be it cartilage for your joints or muscle proteins for repairs.

The first step is to harvest stem cells that are autologous or come from your own body. Bone marrow and fatty adipose tissue contain the largest concentration of stem cells in adults. Once doctors have the correct amount of stem cells, they inject these natural healing factors into the site of your injury along with your blood platelets. This activates the stem cells, causing them to start regenerating damaged tissue.

The possibilities of stem cells for regeneration and repair are virtually limitless, but their effects are especially desirable in areas of the body that were previously believed to be impossible to regenerate, such as cartilage. Here a few situations where stem cell therapy can make a significant difference:

There are a number of reasons why stem cell therapy is so desirable for injury and disease treatment:

At National Stem Cell Clinic (NSCC), we stay at the cutting edge of stem cell treatment. Here are two excellent treatment possibilities using autologous stem cells.

As a high-tech medical care clinic with top surgeons with extensive experience in cutting-edge medical treatments, we offer the most advanced regenerative tissue therapy available. At National Stem Cell Clinic, our expert physicians explain all treatment options available to you, as well as the benefits of each for reaching your personal recovery goals.

Why cultivated meat is about to have its Tesla Roadster moment – Massive Science

Almost everything we consider a great invention is, in fact, a series of great inventions. Take the electric car, which was dreamed up long before the gasoline engine, and had numerous rebirths and deaths throughout the 20th century, with a whos who of great companies and inventors trying their hand at new prototypes. Unfortunately, its battery life remained too short and its top speed too slow to compete with the gas-guzzling competition. That is, until California engineer J.B. Straubel invented a new lithium-ion battery that solved both problems. His fateful meeting with Elon Musk in 2003 led to the creation of the Tesla Roadster the beginning of the end for gasoline cars.

Cultivated meat the industry I work in as a scientist has followed a similar trajectory. In a 1931 essay, Winston Churchill already imagined growing meat in a lab without harming animals. This dream has also recently become a reality, driven by constant innovation and growing concerns about the carbon footprint of factory farms. Over the past ten years, I have witnessed it grow from a niche preoccupation into a global effort. But like the old electric car, cultivated meat has since been working through its prototype phase. Whats holding it back? The stem cells that are the driving force behind it run out of steam too quickly for efficient harvesting. The process of combining the necessary fat and muscle cells has proven too unwieldy. The resulting price tag is still too high. These hurdles often dubbed our scalability problem have prevented cultivated meat from making the transition from the lab to the market. Until now.

Today, seven years after Mark Post debuted the first lab-grown hamburger to the world, my company Meatable is unveiling a new invention that could give cultivated meat that final push from prototype to widely available product. Our new patented cell-programming technology, opti-ox, has already shown exceptional promise in overcoming our industrys scalability problems. We are betting that this transition will eventually be looked back on as cultivated meats roadster moment the crucial step that helps our industry get over the hump and into supermarkets, in pursuit of a more ecological world.

But how does our technology work? And what needs to happen next for it to fulfill its revolutionary potential? In what follows, I hope to offer some exclusive insights into this breakthrough and how we got there.

Seven years ago, I was working on the research end of Mark Posts pioneer hamburger project, and I remember feeling immensely proud. News cameras started flocking to our lab in the cardiovascular department of Maastricht University. Perhaps now my mother would stop asking me when I planned to get a real job. Marks famous patty showed the world that cultivated meat was a real and transformative possibility. To those of us working on the back end, the project also illustrated how far we still had to go for its prophecy to be fulfilled. Hundreds of thousands of dollars and tens of millions of cells (and the gargantuan lab space required for processing them) had gone into creating that burger. This was an early introduction to cultivated meats famous scalability problem.

In the following years, I was excited to work with start-ups around the world who devoted themselves to scaling up production while bringing down the price. The hope was huge. The success of our collective project could save countless animal lives and offer an ecological alternative to an industry with a deleterious carbon footprint. What needed to be done? I immersed myself in these questions while working as Research Director for Cellular Agriculture non-profit New Harvest, getting an overview of all the great work happening in cultivated meat and a crash course in what was holding us back.

The limitations were innate. Cultivated meat is made of cells, lots of them, ideally a combination of fat and muscle cells. Unfortunately for us, these mammalian cells are innately limited by something called senescence. Anatomist Leonard Hayflick discovered it in 1961: mammalian cells can only divide between forty to sixty times before they cannot divide any more. This limitation meant that cultivated meat makers had to keep harvesting and introducing new animal cells a highly inefficient process.

We have long known of a possible way of overcoming this hurdle: using pluripotent cells. Discovered by Nobel Prize winner Shinya Yamanaka in 2006, these cells are special because they are able to divide endlessly, never running out of steam. The question was: how could we turn them into the specific cells we needed, muscle and fat? This requires shepherding the development of a cell all the way to adulthood. The available methods to do this have been time- and space-consuming. Until now.

In the years after Mark Posts famous hamburger, another Mark was (unwittingly) doing research that would prove crucial to the advancement of cultivated meat. Mark Kotter, a neurosurgeon and principal investigator at Cambridges STEM Cell Institute, spent years trying to reprogram pluripotent cells for neurological application.

Starting in 2014, Kotter discovered a way to build specific transcription factors into the pluripotent cells DNA. Every cell in the population turned into exactly what he wanted. He couldnt believe his eyes. He had his graduate students re-run the experiment over and over. Every time, 100% of the pluripotent cells were converted to oligodendrocytes. He had created pure culture of cells from stem cells, which was unheard of thus far.

This turned out to have unintended applications, when I was introduced to Mark in 2016 through a New Harvest fellow. Mark had never heard of cultivated meat, but it took me maybe five minutes to convince him that it was exactly what the world needed. I realized just as quickly that opti-ox could be a game-changer for our industry. In 2018, we co-founded Meatable with our CEO Krijn de Nood, and started applying Marks technology to reprogramming pig cells. Soon, all our hard work started to pay off.

In several experiments earlier this year, we have finally proved that we can grow pork using opti-ox technology on a porcine pluripotent cell. For the first time in history, we have successfully differentiated pluripotent cells into fat and muscle with unprecedented speed and efficiency.

Pluripotent pork cells differentiated into fat (red) and muscle (green) in 7 days.

This process will allow us to grow fat and muscle together. An answer to an elusive problem: adult muscle and fat stem cells require vastly different nearly opposite environments to thrive. With pluripotent stem cells, muscle and fat cultures start from the same type of cell, so they can be grown side-by-side. No mixing required afterwards. The two ingredients can be grown together as they naturally do in animal meat. This, too, is a game changer. It will allow us to create a controlled large-scale process on both ends.

We believe that our opti-ox technology will be the battery pack that helps propel cultivated meat into the mainstream. Combining two breakthrough technologies that use cellular reprogramming in a way that has never been done before, the next test will be our first prototype sausage, followed by a pork chop. We then intend to continue our experiments with beef.

This technology will help us produce meat that's faster to market, higher quality, and more cost effective. More importantly, it will bring us one step closer to our greater goal: separating meat consumption from the death and carbon of factory farms, just as electric cars allowed us to drive without polluting the environment.

This reality may still be 5 years off, but in science that is little more than a blink of an eye. In the long-term, our success depends not only on scaling technological boundaries, but on challenging social perceptions, and having the courage to rethink one of humanitys oldest habits. The possibilities are humbling.

Startup Accelerator: Volumetric Aims to Be the Tissue Bioprinting Farm of the Future – 3DPrint.com

Startup Accelerator is an article series with a focus on new and exciting companies in the 3D printing space, in which 3DPrint.com speaks to startup leadership about their unique technologies and businesses.

At one of the largest medical cities in the world, a startup is pushing the limits of bioprinting technology by harnessing the power and precision of light to structure living tissue. Born as a spin-off out of Rice University, Volumetric has come a long way since being founded in 2018, advancing the creation of biomaterials and a biofabrication platform for cancer research, regenerative medicine, and human organ replacement initiatives worldwide.

Efforts to reproduce the vascular architecture in the body have led Jordan Miller, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Rice University, and one of his bioengineering graduate students, Bagrat Grigoryan, to create Volumetric. The duo has been focusing on innovation that allows scientists to create exquisitely entangled vascular networks that mimic the bodys natural passageways for blood, air, lymph, and other vital fluids. Originally dubbed SLATE, which is short for stereolithography apparatus for tissue engineering, the new open-source bioprinting technology uses additive manufacturing to make soft hydrogels and is the basis for the firms commercially available technology.

While most of the attention in tissue engineering typically goes to the progress being done on cells, Volumetric is playing a key role focusing on the extracellular space, that is, what happens outside cells. If we think about solid organs in the body, like the liver, they are very complex biologically, with an intricate blood vessel structure. What is most apparent in that complexity, is the complexity of the architecture, Miller said to 3DPrint.com. There is a fantastic progress on the cell side as researchers are finding newer and better ways to grow cells, differentiate cells, taking stem cells, and making them into organ-specific functions, however, everything outside of the cell is part of our expert research.

With so much research to back up their development, Miller and Grigoryan were confident that commercializing the technology they developed at the lab was the next step. After licensing, it became the basis for the LumenX bioprinters that are manufactured through a partnership between Volumetric and Cellink one of the worlds leading biotechnology companies.

Designed as an entry-level platform to build vasculature, the LumenX achieves complex branching and tapering of vessels. Moreover, the founders claim that the device photographically cures entire layers at once to crosslink structures 50 times faster than other printing methods. This process is performed with incredible resolution, leveraging more than one million simultaneous points of light to bioprint microscopic features down to 200 microns.

As we were creating this technology at the research lab, we immediately began thinking about its potential in society, suggested Miller. We understood that we wanted to take our basic research out of the lab and into the clinical practice where it would have an impact. So, to translate our technology, we knew that it would have to be commercialized, to stand up as part of a business model that could survive. That is when our research became bigger than just an academic paper. Whereas an academic paper can have an impact on peoples mindsets, a commercialized product can have a big impact directly on peoples lives.

So, the company was born out of huge progress that the team made at the lab, plus, dozens of requests from fellow researchers who wanted to use Volumetrics technology to develop their own projects. Miller and Grigoryan licensed their own intellectual property out of the university and into the company Volumetric, and they have been using it to sell bioinks and bioprinters ever since.

This is a very exciting opportunity, because when there is a scientific finding in a research lab, it is not always obvious how it can translate into a direct impact for society, but commercialization is a way to address this issue.

Creating high-quality biomaterials and 3D biofabrication platforms are part of Volumetrics mission. Aside from LumenX, Volumetric founders also developed the only cell-compatible biomaterials on the market for light-based printing, ideal for creating vascular networks within cell-laden hydrogels or lab-on-a-chip devices. The company is pushing the limits in the field of bioprinting by incorporating the unique ability of its technology to print complex, 3D vascularized living tissue, one of the most advanced and hard to mimic tissues in the field.

After witnessing successful university spin-off companies emerge around the world, one thing is clear, a major challenge for many startups is related to funding. However, Miller and Grigoryan were able to tap into the National Science Foundation (NSF) and its Innovation Corps program to get most of the funding for their collaboration, and in just two years, the startup has become a strong seller of specialized printers and hydrogel bioinks for printing tissue constructs.

Another great advantage of the company is its location, right at the heart of the Texas Medical Center (TMC), in Houston, working out of Johnson & Johnson Innovation (also known as JLABS), a global network ecosystem that empowers inventors across a broad healthcare spectrum to accelerate the delivery of life-saving, life-enhancing health and wellness solutions to patients around the world. It is by far one of the largest medical centers worldwide and a place where clinicians and surgeons are eager to see bioprinting technology, like Volumetrics, translated from bench to bedside.

Clinicians see first hand the need and urgency for replacement tissues to work. Which led us to craft a clinical strategy for a potential organ we could produce, how we would go about producing it, how we would design the clinical trials, and what early studies need to be complete in order to get there, Miller described. Our work goes beyond just theories, its about actually having surgeons work with our tissue scaffolds, to determine whether the material can be implantable. We need to know if they can put a suture through it and pull without the suture coming right out. We know that our work involves thinking about optimizing the material for the cells, but also for the surgeon.

Although Volumetric still has a lot of work ahead, more than 20 years of experience in bioengineering are helping Miller find a balance for both cells and surgeons to strive.

Miller has a very particular vision for Volumetrics future, in part because he considers that the technology is highly scalable. He believes that what lies ahead for bioprinting companies like Volumetric is similar to what happened with the Prague-based open-source 3D printing company Prusa, except that in this case, its for biofabrication.

They [Prusa] are using 3D printers to make the parts that they need, relying on a print farm that is running non-stop, and churning out lots of high-value pieces. That is the perfect analogy of what we see for the future of regenerative medicine, where companies, like Volumetric, will develop large bioprinting farms, scaling out living tissue which could eventually become organ and tissue replacements for people.

The researchers at Volumetric have been working flat-out to provide a blood vessel structure for engineered tissue constructs. This is one of the most difficult feats in the filed, as researchers working towards the biofabrication of artificial vasculature have encountered several challenges to create the functional vessel-like structures that can supply oxygen and nutrients to cells of 3D bioengineered tissues. However, Millers advances at his laboratory at Rice and Volumetric led him to create the first bioprinting technology that addresses the challenges of multivascularization:

Right now, the field of regenerative medicine has the most potential its ever had, we know much more about how cells interact with materials than before, and our technology platform is allowing people to go deeper into biology and develop new materials to move the field forward.
