Catholic homes and nearly 800 parishes.
Stem
Cell Clinic to Open in Bermuda
Bermuda Sun
September 14, 2007
Premier Dr. Ewart Brown and his wife Wanda will
be able to open a stem cell clinic without having to
obtain permission from a regulatory body because our
laws have failed to keep pace with medical advances,
the Bermuda Sun has learned. That's a major departure
from the way it works in the U.K., the U.S. and
Canada.
Stem
Cell Therapy Market to Explode by 2017
PR Newswire

products are on the market, but by 2017, almost 90 are
expected to be available.
Adult
Stem Cells Continue to Deliver Breakthroughs
CitizenLink
September 5, 2007
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center report the discovery of a new type of
adult stem cell in blood vessels that can be harvested
from a patient. These cells then could be used to
treat the patient's muscle injury or disease. And
since the cells come from the same patient, there is
no risk of rejection.
Muscle
Repair Potential Discovered in Human Source of Adult
Stem Cells
Science Daily
September 5, 2007
For the first time, scientists at Children's
Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have discovered a
unique population of adult stem cells derived from
human muscle that could be used to treat muscle
injuries and diseases such as heart attack and
muscular dystrophy. "Finding this population of
stem cells in a human source represents a major
breakthrough for us because it brings us much closer
to a clinical application of this therapy," said
Dr. Huard, the Henry J. Mankin Professor and vice
chair for Research in the Department of Orthopaedic
Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of
Medicine.
Backing
Ethical Stem Cell Research Makes More Sense
The Kansas City Star
August 6, 2007
Many journalists, pundits and politicians
falsely claim that conservatives oppose “stem-cell
research,” as though we, or Bush, supported no
stem-cell research whatsoever. At best, that’s lazy
journalism. At worst, it’s intentionally misleading
the public. We get sick, paralyzed and injured, too.
We also want cures for our loved ones, but without
killing embryos.
Adult
Stem Cell Research Should Be First Priority According
to Experts
Baptist Press
August 1, 2007
Patients, researchers and a bioethics
specialist joined in a news conference in Washington
to testify to the effectiveness of adult and other
non-embryonic stem cell research. Their promotion of
such experiments came the same day two members of the
House of Representatives announced the introduction of
legislation to give priority to adult stem cell
research.
Blood
Vessels Created Using Adult Bone Marrow Stem Cells
United Press International
July 8, 2007
Doctors have succeeded in growing new blood
vessels from a person's own bone marrow cells, but
researchers said Friday they are still some years away
from being able to use these test-tube grown vessels
to replace diseased arteries.
Personalized
Therapy for Cancer, Self-Targeting Stem Cell from Fat
American Association for Cancer
Research
July 5, 2007
Researchers in Slovakia have been able to
derive mesenchymal stem cells from human adipose, or
fat, tissue and engineer them into "suicide
genes" that seek out and destroy tumors like tiny
homing missiles. This gene therapy approach is a novel
way to attack small tumor metastases that evade
current detection techniques and treatments, the
researchers conclude in the July 1 issue of Cancer
Research, a journal of the American Association for
Cancer Research.
Stem
Cells Put the Pressure on Urinary Incontinence
Ivanhoe Broadcast News
July 4, 2007
Continence is a physical state that is
maintained whenever urethral pressure exceeds bladder
pressure inside the body. Now, stem cell technology
may offer a new solution for patients suffering from
stress incontinence. The transplant itself takes only
five minutes, and 60 percent of patients experience
improvement within the first year. Researchers at the
University of Pittsburgh and the University of Calgary
are still studying the procedure, which may one day
help men who become incontinent after prostate
surgery.
Adult
Stem Cells Save Lives
The New Zealand Herald
June 25, 2007
Their main use is in regenerative medicine.
Stem cells can assist tissues, muscles and even organs
to recover from diseases; and help non-healthy cells
to recover or even supply desperately needed cells.
Stem cells can come from various parts of the body,
including bone marrow, hair follicles, umbilical cord
blood, placentas and amniotic fluid.
Public
Confused About Adult and Embryonic Stem Cells
Times Union
June 1, 2007
Many individuals make the grave error of
conflating adult stem cell research with embryonic
stem cell research. The differences between the two
types of research are crucial, and can be easy to miss
because of news stories that fail to distinguish
between them.
False
Hope Comes with Embryonic Stem Cells
The Des Moines Register
May 31, 2007
People who have been affected by ALS (Lou
Gehrig's Disease) were in Washington, D.C., lobbying
for passage of a bill authorizing federal funding for
embryonic stem-cell research. Many mistakenly believe
that embryonic stem cells "may hold the key to
finding a cure." Only adult stem cells have been
proven effective in the treatment of disease and
injuries.

Three months after experimental adult stem cell
treatment in China, Tori can take a cookie from her
father's hand. The family, like a growing number of
Americans, feel they can't wait for U.S. scientists to
prove new adult stem cell therapies safe or effective.
With few treatment options here, the Orem girl's
parents took her to the a stem cell clinic in Hangzhou
in January.
U.S.
Researchers Still Question Stem Cell Therapy, But
Can't Deny Effectiveness
News-Press

As local patients put their faith — and their
money — in an overseas stem cell treatment, some
U.S. researchers caution that much remains unknown.
But individuals such as Neim, who is a heart patient,
are walking proof of the effectiveness of stem cell
treatment.
National
Pediatric Doctors Group Wants Exclusive Support of
Adult Stem Cell Research
Life News
May 14, 2007
A national doctors group for pediatricians says
it wants state and federal governments to look to
adult stem cell research as the vehicle for public
funding rather than throwing money at studies using
embryonic stem cells. The group says adult stem cell
research has been significantly more successful. The
American College of Pediatricians recommends that
public officials consider supporting adult stem cells
exclusively.
Stem
Cells: A Breakdown, and Cord Blood Stem Cells
Explained
American Chronicle
May 14, 2007
You’ve probably heard about the mystical
power of stem cells. But did you know how they work
and what makes the cord blood stem cells different
than all of the other stem cells? It is important to
learn about the types of stem cells by purpose, in
order to determine the answer to these and many other
questions. Stem cells and using them to treat a
plethora of conditions is a fact of life that is here
to stay. It's time to brush up on some facts.
Mysterious
Donation Allows Man to Pay for Stem Cell Treatment
New Castle Journal
May 8, 2007
An anonymous £10,000 donation has ensured a
North man dying of a degenerative brain disease will
now be able to fly to China for stem cell treatment to
gain precious extra years with his family.
Spinocerebellar ataxia sufferer Scott Nugent, 34, from
Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, is pinning his hopes on
the controversial treatment to prolong his life long
enough to see two-year-old son George grow up.
Couple
Travels to China to Remedy Inherited Brain Disorder
The Canadian Press
April 3, 2007
In late April, the couple will arrive in
Shenzhen, China, where they will spend a month of
their lives. At the clinic, doctors will inject stem
cells into J.C.’s spine. Intensive physiotherapy and
deep acupuncture will also be part of the treatment
protocol. The mix of “Chinese medicine” will help
direct the stem cells to the areas of the brain that
require restoration.
Media
Supresses Adult Stem Cell Breakthrough for Heart
Valves
Investor's Business Daily
April 3, 2007
Yacoub, who has been called the world’s
leading heart surgeon, worked with his team to grow
tissue that functions identical to human heart valves.
Prof. Yacoub’s team may have found a way of
providing replacement heart valves to the estimated
600,000 people (according to the World Health
Organization) who will need them by 2010. These
findings may come as a revelation to some because the
media has decided not to discuss the story since
embryonic stem cells were not involved.
Adult
Stem Cells > Embryonic - Media and Scientific
Journals have Misled Public
CBN News
March 28, 2007
Cameron says people believe that stem cells
from destroyed human embryos are the answer. But new
evidence shows that it's the so-called 'adult stem
cells' -- like those from umbilical cord blood -- that
are providing the only human success stories. But
public confusion is an underlying problem, Cameron
says. The media have misled the public and given
embryonic stem cells a glamorous image, despite the
reality. "Whenever you see a report of stem cells
curing anybody, you can be absolutely 100-percent
certain that these are so-called adult stem cells;
they're not stem cells from embryos," Cameron
explained.
