WWW.EUX.TV — Many commentators say that the lack of common rules are obstructing research, denying patients access to the most advanced treatment. In addition uncontrolled experiments can pose a danger to patients. The European Commission has proposed an attempt to codify rules and guidelines in the area. The Parliament’s Environment Committee adopted a report on the matter on 31 January – a report authored by Slovak MEP Miroslav MIKOLÁŠIK (PPE-DE) . The Committee backed a draft EU regulation designed to encourage the development of gene therapy, cell therapy and tissue engineering. However, MEPs are demanding guarantees about the safety of the products and techniques used and would also like to see more support for smaller companies working in this field. The report recommends the following: – Creating common rules for advanced therapy. – Establishing a new Committee in the European Medicines Agency to allow centralised evaluation, authorisation, supervision and monitoring. – Ensuring a high level of health and safety. The report is scheduled for first reading at Parliament’s part-session 23-26/4/2007
“supporting the release of stem cells from the bone marrow and increasing the number of circulating stem cells is probably the single most important thing you can do to improve your health” visit www.ngs.stemtechbiz.com
Modern medicine has been using stem cells for more than thirty years in the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma. But in the past ten years, scientists have realized the great potential of using stem cells to treat various ailments. Currently around the world, research is being done focusing on the use of stem cells to treat diabetes, spinal injury, brain damage, and heart disease. In veterinary hospitals, stem cells are now being used to treat dog and horses having orthopedic conditions. For more information visit www.dogarthritisblog.info

Doctor a pioneer of bloodless treatment
PHILADELPHIA — Jock Davis smiled and sat up on his bed at Pennsylvania Hospital last week, looking more like a guy on vacation than on high-dose chemotherapy for a blood cancer called multiple myeloma. He had come all the way from Rochester, N.Y., for a stem cell transplant because Patricia Ford, the doctor directing his care, was willing to withhold a standard part of the multi-week treatment … Read more on Standard-Examiner

The source of ibogaine—a hallucinogenic powder made from a plant—is … Read more on GOOD
Sam Schmidt talks with Michele Rahal about Stem Cell Research and the current administration with President Obama
In February 2007 EuroNews, the channel of reference on EU-related news, came to the Centre for Stem Cell Biology at Sheffield University in Great Britain to film for a broadcast about the EU’s reconfirmation of stem cell research funding. Professor Peter Andrews leads from Sheffield the EU-funded €12m “ESTOOLS” FP6 Integrated Project involving 19 other European labs, both academic and SMEs. The broadcast went out in March 2007 and highlights the aims of such research ultimately to enable the development of cures for serious illnesses. Titled “Human dignity and stem cell research in the EU”, the programme also explains the range of ethical standpoints within Europe over the fate of surplus human embryonic stem cells created by IVF treatments – a theme of debate between experts and members of the European Parliament, causing divisions within all the political parties. Peter Andrews was joined for the filming at the CSCB by Timothy Kirkhope, the Yorkshire & Humberside member in the EU Parliament and leader of the Conservatives there. Video Rating: 0 / 5
