30-01-2012 06:10 Professor Michael Schneider of Imperial College tells Alan Keys about how stem cell research is leading to treatments for heart disease. Michael describes how the availability of stem cells allows his team to determine the molecules involved in heart cell death and also how to protect those cells from death during a heart attack. Michael foresees a near future where stem cells are combined with other therapies to both repair hearts and enable hearts to self-repair. Alan Keys had his own heart repaired during an operation some years ago and currently chairs a British Heart Foundation patients committee. The British Heart Foundation part-fund the work of Michael's team at Imperial College. This interview was edited down from the original 35 minutes conversation.

01-02-2012 13:37 Meet founders of Cord Blood Registry, Tom and Wendy. Hear why they started CBR -- a family business dedicated to helping people live healthier lives through cord blood stem cell medicine. Today, CBR has grown, but the attention to healthy families is the same. For more than 15 years, Cord Blood Registry has led the umbilical cord banking industry in technical innovations and provided families with peace of mind and hope. CBR's experience and dedication to quality has enabled CBR to help more clients use their cord blood stem cells in treatments than any other family bank. Our research and development efforts are focused on helping leading clinical researchers advance stem cell regenerative medicine that may help families in the future. Ultimate use of cord blood stem cells will be determined by the treating physician who will consider if they are applicable for the condition and should come from the patient or a suitable donor (like an HLA matched sibling). There is no guarantee that treatments being studied in the laboratory or in clinical trials will be available in the future. CBR is the preferred choice of OB/Gyns. © 2011 Cord Blood Registry.

01-02-2012 21:36 Notes from the interview: Nicholas Anderson - Author, NOC: British Secret Operations Big Pharma... must be careful in discussing reason for writing books is in part because of something along these lines medical doctor helped to exfiltrate from soviet union end of 1991 doctor wanted to meet... nicholas anderson flew to meet in moscow... bottom line: he claimed to have number of effective treatments and cures... MIND YOU... he's not trying to get your hopes up, but you should look into alternate treatments natural remedies. stem cell, energetic medicine is more detail in the book? when the book was written, it was non-fiction. but it didn't last to be a non-fiction novel. former secret operations must be cleared. large majority that was redacted or cleared from the fiction novel was about big pharma. certain things -are- in the book. also know that nicholas anderson was skeptical about these items first. even so, he wondered why aren't these alternative cures more widely known? the doctor appeared on a primetime show and the media prevented him from saying what he wanted to say... in a couple examples, they removed things he had said. they said the -opposite- of what he actually said. it was then that he realized he was on to something and he saw that happening. did this doctor have access to this medicine in the soviet union or was it secretive? in the beginning of communism, they did come up with things in medicine that the west never did come up with. this doctor had ...

13-01-2012 08:41 This is human heart muscle in a dish, beating spontaneously. It was made by Dr Lei Ye of the Stem Cell Institute from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC). These were made by our iPSC facility from human skin cells into which 4 specific genes were temporarily introduced. The heart muscle cells were enabled to develop from the iPSC using a special medium and substrate. It is hoped to use cells like this for the treatment of heart disease by replacing heart muscle that has been destroyed.

21-01-2012 05:14 EDIT: After some thoughts and reading a few comments, there is possibly a lot more that could go into this video regarding genetics and Alicorns, but like I said, I don't want to delve too much into it at this time, maybe later after Season 2 is over and we have more information. As someone said: "If you have a pegasus who carries horn genes and a unicorn who carries wing genes, like so: hhWw x Hhww It would be possible for them to? have alicorn sons, right? I mean, without the alicorn mother rule (maybe the guy would have the genes but 'alicorniness' wouldn't manifest, or maybe he'd die at birth, only alicorns being able to 'mother' an alicorn).." Yeah, that does seem like it would work. In fact, it would produce a ratio that would actually be higher for alicorns. I'm guessing that there is more to alicorns besides just? these two genes though, and that's why we haven't seen them. The ratio that would produce would? actually be evenly spread... 4:4:4:4 A short video explaining how I think pony genetics work for wings and horns since we now know they can breed and produce fertile offspring. (Crap, I just realized that I mispelled alicorn in the second slide that has it... oh well, it's not there long.)

An innovative study held at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston will be evaluating the effects of a child's own cord blood as treatment for acquired hearing loss. Only CBR offers your family exclusive access to several groundbreaking clinical trials such as this one. CBR was chosen as the only bank to provide cord blood because these studies require consistent processing and storage methods to reduce any possible variables.

Dr. Eric Chiao of Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (Roche) will lead this presentation and provide data showing the characterization and utility of iCell Cardiomyocytes, how they are being used in drug development, and how they are increasing our understanding of basic human cardiomyocyte cellular biology.
