Stem Cell Treatment at www.StemCellTreatment.org is exactly what actor Danny Glover received during his visit. Danny knows the positive impact stem cell therapy has on many different diseases and illnesses. Danny did his own stem cell research and found that the American Stem Cell & Anti Aging Center met his strict standards of medical stem cell care.

Stem cells differ from other types of cells as they are unspecialized cells that are capable of differentiating into almost any type of specialised cells. Stem cells have the ability to replace the diseased and damaged tissue in the body, without the risk of rejection and any side effects. Therapy performed using stem cells is termed as “Regenerative medicine” and has many potential benefits in treating a wide variety of diseases and injuries. The journal is the major open access forum for translational research in stem cell therapies.

Cure For Baldness? Stem Cells Help Grow Hair on Hairless Mice
April 21, 2012 by 6 Comments
Watch out, Rogaine! Heads Up, Hair Club For Men! (I don’t understand this sentence/what should be capitalized and what shouldn’t) An article in Nature this week reports that Tokyo University of Science researchers have used stem-cell therapy to grow hair, or at least a scruffy patch of the stuff, on the back of a hairless mouse. Scientists created a seed of hair by combining the two basic cells found in the skin of a normal mouse and then inserted the seed into the skin of the follicley-challenged rodent. Sure enough, a patch of hair grew, shed, and regrew, just like normal hair. The area could even get goose bumps. But don’t toss out your toupee quite yet. Stem-cell therapy isn’t quite ready to give Andre Agassi his mane back. It is currently untested on humans and, being an extremely esoteric treatment, would only be affordable by Daddy Warbucks. Or Donald Trump.

Irving L. Weissman, MD, is the Director of the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. “These Web sites that advertise stem cell therapies usually go way beyond what is proven scientifically.”
Forbes Discusses Stem Cell Research
January 8, 2012 by 7 Comments
Congressman Forbes discusses the Patients First Act, HR 877, which would intensify research and human clinical trials using stem cells that are ethically obtained and that show evidence of providing near-term clinical benefit for human patients. Additionally, the legislation would promote the creation of pluripotent stem cell lines without the creation, destruction, or discarding of human embryos. Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04) introduced the Patients First Act, along with Congressman Daniel Lipinski (IL-03).

What are stem cells? – An short educational film by the Irish Stem Cell Foundation Stem cells are master cells of the body — want to learn more? Visit www.irishstemcellfoundation.org ISCF is an independent not-for-profit organisation whose primary objective is to educate about stem cells, their basic biology and the research and therapies using them. The Foundation will initially focus on education outreach programs, hoping to address the growing problem of bogus stem cell scams being offered to Irish patients over the internet. The Foundation will also assist the development of Irish policy and legislature in this area of medicine and science, ensuring Ireland is informed. The Foundation consists of a broad range of people including Irish doctors, scientists, patient advocates, educators, bioethicists and other associated parties seeking to expand and develop the Irish public’s understanding of stem cells.
