Naples, Florida (PRWEB) January 23, 2015

The Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center announces a series of free public seminars on the use of adult stem cells for various degenerative and inflammatory conditions. They will be provided by Dr. Thomas A. Gionis, Surgeon-in-Chief and Dr. Nia Smyrniotis, Medical Director and Surgeon.

The first seminar will be held on Sunday, January 25, 2015, at 11:00am, 1:00pm and 3:00pm at the Hilton Naples, 5111 Tamiami Trail North, Naples, FL 34103. Please RSVP at (561) 331-2999.

The Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center (Miami; Boca Raton; Orlando), along with sister affiliates, the Irvine Stem Cell Treatment Center (Irvine; Westlake Villages, Ca.) and the Manhattan Regenerative Medicine Medical Group (Manhattan, New York), abide by approved investigational protocols using adult adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) which can be deployed to improve patients quality of life for a number of chronic, degenerative and inflammatory conditions and diseases. ADSCs are taken from the patients own adipose (fat) tissue (found within a cellular mixture called stromal vascular fraction (SVF)). ADSCs are exceptionally abundant in adipose tissue. The adipose tissue is obtained from the patient during a 15 minute mini-liposuction performed under local anesthesia in the doctors office. SVF is a protein-rich solution containing mononuclear cell lines (predominantly adult autologous mesenchymal stem cells), macrophage cells, endothelial cells, red blood cells, and important Growth Factors that facilitate the stem cell process and promote their activity.

ADSCs are the bodys natural healing cells - they are recruited by chemical signals emitted by damaged tissues to repair and regenerate the bodys injured cells. The Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center only uses Adult Autologous Stem Cells from a persons own fat No embryonic stem cells are used; and No bone marrow stem cells are used. Current areas of study include: Emphysema, COPD, Asthma, Heart Failure, Heart Attack, Parkinsons Disease, Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, Lou Gehrigs Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohns Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, Inflammatory Myopathies, and degenerative orthopedic joint conditions (Knee, Shoulder, Hip, Spine).

For more information, or if someone thinks they may be a candidate for one of the adult stem cell protocols offered by the Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center, they may contact Dr. Gionis or Dr. Smyrniotis directly at (561) 331-2999, or see a complete list of the Centers study areas at: http://www.MiamiStemCellsUSA.com.

About the Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center: The Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center, along with sister affiliates, the Irvine Stem Cell Treatment Center and the Manhattan Regenerative Medicine Medical Group, is an affiliate of the California Stem Cell Treatment Center / Cell Surgical Network (CSN); we are located in Boca Raton, Orlando, Miami and The Villages (opening soon), Florida. We provide care for people suffering from diseases that may be alleviated by access to adult stem cell based regenerative treatment. We utilize a fat transfer surgical technology to isolate and implant the patients own stem cells from a small quantity of fat harvested by a mini-liposuction on the same day. The investigational protocols utilized by the Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center have been reviewed and approved by an IRB (Institutional Review Board) which is registered with the U.S. Department of Health, Office of Human Research Protection (OHRP); and our studies are registered with Clinicaltrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Experience a New Dimension in Skin Care

The RG-Cell is the latest, breakthrough, anti-aging, skin care cosmaceutical to hit the market. It features a unique proprietary blend of stem cell activators programmed to protect your skin and visibly fight aging at the cellular level.

Scientists have shown that reactivating your dormant stem cells is the most effective process for skin rejuvenation and regeneration. This process stimulates fibroblast production of collagen, increasing skin firmness and elasticity, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, silkier, vibrant and younger looking skin.

The Mayo Clinic defines Stem cells are the body's raw materials: They are cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Under the right conditions in the body or in a laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells, called daughter cells. These daughter cells either become new stem cells (self-renewal) or become specialized cells (differentiation) with a more specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, skin cells or heart muscle or bone. Stem cells are unique no other cell in the body has the natural ability to generate new cell types.

They can divide (through mitosis where they split into 2 separate but identical sets with 2 separate nuclei) or differentiate into diverse and specific cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals, there are two broad types of stem cells:

Many specialized cells, such as in the skin, or blood, have a lifespan of only a few days. For these tissues to function, a steady replenishment of specialized cells is indispensable.

First, they are able to differentiate into all the different cell types that make up their respective tissue a property called pluripotency.

Second, they need to renew themselves in order to be able to supply new specialized tissue cells throughout life.

Skin is an essential tissue in our bodies. It is our bodys largest organ. Our skin protects us from infection, irritation and dehydration, and allows us to feel many different things, such as pressure, stress or heat. Our skin has to be constantly renewed throughout our lives and relies on a whole host of different stem cells to keep it in good shape.

Stem cells (SCs) residing in the epidermis and hair follicle ensure the maintenance of adult skin homeostasis and hair regeneration, but they also participate in the repair of the epidermis after injuries.

ELK GROVE (CBS13) Hes only 17, but hes already making big waves in the science community.

A local high school senior was selected as a semi-finalist in the 2015 Intel Science Talent Search. His research on stem cells set him apart from the rest. Out of hundreds of applicants, Ryan Fong, a senior at Sheldon High School in Elk Grove, is being recognized for his research in stem cells. Its an opportunity he says he wont soon forget.

Each of these cells is genetic material from one cell, he explains.

He doesnt come from a line of doctors or medical researchers. Fong is just a teenager interested in stem cells.

Its such a young field and it holds so much potential to redefine what we think is medically possible, he says.

Fong wasnt always intrigued by science, but a couple of years ago, at the request of a teacher, he decided to enter the Teen Biotech Challenge and happened to win an internship at the UC Davis School of Medicine.

I didnt know anything about research and I didnt know what I was getting into, but I dived in head first, said Fong.

That internship became a launching pad for Fong. He was published in a medical peer review journal called Stem Cells. And this past summer, he spent his time in Stanford among doctors and researchers working on reprogramming cells from a layer of skin so that it can match any cell type in the body.

So were taking someones cells from their skin and turning them into cells that can be found in the lungs, said Fong.

Their research on the topic won Fong a spot as a semi-finalist in the 2015 Intel Science Talent Search, and a $1,000 scholarship.

A new procedure can quickly and efficiently increase the length of human telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that are linked to aging and disease, according to scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Treated cells behave as if they are much younger than untreated cells, multiplying with abandon in the laboratory dish rather than stagnating or dying.

The procedure, which involves the use of a modified type of RNA, will improve the ability of researchers to generate large numbers of cells for study or drug development, the scientists say. Skin cells with telomeres lengthened by the procedure were able to divide up to 40 more times than untreated cells. The research may point to new ways to treat diseases caused by shortened telomeres.

Telomeres are the protective caps on the ends of the strands of DNA called chromosomes, which house our genomes. In young humans, telomeres are about 8,000-10,000 nucleotides long. They shorten with each cell division, however, and when they reach a critical length the cell stops dividing or dies. This internal "clock" makes it difficult to keep most cells growing in a laboratory for more than a few cell doublings.

'Turning back the internal clock'

"Now we have found a way to lengthen human telomeres by as much as 1,000 nucleotides, turning back the internal clock in these cells by the equivalent of many years of human life," said Helen Blau, PhD, professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford and director of the university's Baxter Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology. "This greatly increases the number of cells available for studies such as drug testing or disease modeling."

A paper describing the research was published today in the FASEB Journal. Blau, who also holds the Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Professorship, is the senior author. Postdoctoral scholar John Ramunas, PhD, of Stanford shares lead authorship with Eduard Yakubov, PhD, of the Houston Methodist Research Institute.

The researchers used modified messenger RNA to extend the telomeres. RNA carries instructions from genes in the DNA to the cell's protein-making factories. The RNA used in this experiment contained the coding sequence for TERT, the active component of a naturally occurring enzyme called telomerase. Telomerase is expressed by stem cells, including those that give rise to sperm and egg cells, to ensure that the telomeres of these cells stay in tip-top shape for the next generation. Most other types of cells, however, express very low levels of telomerase.

Transient effect an advantage

The newly developed technique has an important advantage over other potential methods: It's temporary. The modified RNA is designed to reduce the cell's immune response to the treatment and allow the TERT-encoding message to stick around a bit longer than an unmodified message would. But it dissipates and is gone within about 48 hours. After that time, the newly lengthened telomeres begin to progressively shorten again with each cell division.

"Biotechnology promises the greatest revolution in human history. By the end of this decade, it will have outdistanced atomic power and computers in its effect on our everyday lives." Once upon a time, superheroes inevitably gained their superpowers from radiation, the latest and most mysterious-yet-powerful fad of the 50s and 60s. Technology Marches On, however, and gene splicing has replaced atom smashing as the most glamorous sciencey stuff: nowadays, many modern remakes of classic superheroes go with Genetic Engineering. Be it a bite from a genetically engineered spider, or exposure to it in a freak accident, genetically engineered origins are the Phlebotinum for the 21st century. Rarely are the effects of "genetic engineering" anything like those portrayed in adventure fiction however, it's a buzzword that everyone knows, and that the average public knows just enough about for it to seem powerful, without any inconvenient actual education getting in the road of the Phlebotinum at work. God only knows what superheroes will be getting their powers from twenty years from now - nanotechnology, perhaps? (It's certainly very fashionable in Cyber Punk these days.) Quantum mechanics is another good excuse - anything can happen because of quantum. Genetic Engineering also lends itself to being weaponized to do exactly the same thing as those ultracool nukes that kill people but leave buildings standing. Now that nuclear apocalypse is substantially less likely (or at least less likely to wipe us all out), and Chemical/Biological weapons just aren't destructive enough in terms of human life, Genetic Weapons make a nice scary (and vague) alternative. It's also interesting to note the other favourite sources of weirdness used by SF writers before the advent of nuclear physics.

SOURCING leading genetics from across the world is Caitlin Williams' profession and has been the foundation for success for her family's young and progressive Shrublands Estate Angus and British Whites studs.

Ms Williams' degree in genetics and passion to learn from leading studs across the world is fast-tracking the genetic evolution of the five year-old studs.

Shrublands Estate studs and commercial herds run across 121 hectares of river flats at Thornton, in the State's North East.

The Angus arm was established in 2009 with 30 commercial Angus cows and calves and in 2012 grew to 100 stud and 50 commercial breeding cows following the purchase of Burnbend Angus Stud.

Shrublands currently produces 50 stud Angus bulls during a spring calving and smaller autumn calving, with their current crop of 18 month and two year-old bulls being the first produced under the new Shrublands Estate registration.

In 2013, Ms Williams travelled to the US where she visited some of the large Angus studs to learn about their way of breeding.

"My aim through using AI (artificial insemination) and ET (embryo transfer) programs is to increase the strength and soundness of the maternal side of our herd," she said.

"This has already started to show with our heifers moving into the breeding program this year and the growth and looks of our current drop."

The research trip followed another US visit in 2012 to Texas, where Ms Williams went to well-known breeder Jimmie West, of J West Cattle Company -- sparking an interest in the British Whites breed.

"(Jimmie) taught me a lot about the breed, emphasising their strong carcase traits, feed efficiency, fertility, calving, temperament and ability to adapt to different conditions," she said.

A single gene that coordinates a network of about 400 genes involved in epilepsy could be a target for new treatments, according to research.

Epilepsy is a common and serious disease that affects around 50 million people worldwide. The mortality rate among people with epilepsy is two to three times higher than the general population. It is known that epilepsy has a strong genetic component, but the risk is related to multiple factors that are 'spread' over hundreds of genes. Identifying how these genes are co-ordinated in the brain is important in the search for new anti-epilepsy medications. This requires approaches that can analyse how multiple genes work in concert to cause disease.

Instead of studying individual genes, which has been the usual approach in epilepsy to date, researchers from Imperial College London developed novel computational and genetics techniques to systematically analyse the activity of genes in epilepsy. Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first to apply this 'systems genetics' approach to epilepsy.

The researchers studied samples of brain tissue removed from patients during neurosurgery for their epilepsy. Starting from these samples, they identified a gene network that was highly active in the brain of these patients, and then discovered that an unconnected gene, Sestrin 3 (SESN3), acts as a major regulator of this epileptic gene network. This is the first time SESN3 has been implicated in epilepsy and its co-ordinating role was confirmed in studies with mice and zebrafish.

Dr Enrico Petretto, from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Clinical Sciences Centre at Imperial College London and co-senior author of the study, said: "Systems genetics allows us to understand how multiple genes work together, which is far more effective than looking at the effect of a gene in isolation. It's a bit like trying to tackle a rival football team. If you want to stop the team from playing well, you can't just target an individual player; you first need to understand how the team plays together and their strategy. Likewise in systems genetics we don't look at just one gene at a time, but a network or team of genes and the functional relationships between them in disease.

"After understanding how the team plays together, a possible approach to beating a strong side is then to identify a major control point- say the captain or the coach - who co-ordinates the players. This is like our 'master regulator gene', which in this case is SESN3. If we can develop medication to target this gene in the brain, then the hope is that we could influence the whole epileptic gene network rather than individual parts and in turn achieve more effective treatments."

Using surgical samples of brain tissue provides a unique opportunity to study how genes are coordinated in the brains of people with epilepsy. Patients with severe temporal lobe epilepsy who do not respond to medication can undergo surgery to remove part of the brain to relieve their seizures. Our research was able to use brain tissue samples donated by 129 patients to analyse the genetic and functional activity underlying their epilepsy.

Co-senior author of the paper, Dr Michael Johnson from Imperial's Department of Medicine, said: "This study is proof-of-concept for a new scientific approach in epilepsy. Existing epilepsy medications are symptomatic treatments only; that is they act to supress the seizures but they don't treat the underlying disease.

Consequently, we find that existing medications don't work in about one-third of people with epilepsy. Here we have taken a new approach, and identified a network of genes underlying the epilepsy itself in these patients and mapped its control to a single gene, SESN3. This offers hope that new disease-modifying therapies can be developed for the treatment of epilepsy itself.

"Imperial has pioneered the systems genetics approach to common human disease and by applying its specialism in epilepsy and working in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies and other institutes worldwide, we have identified SESN3 as a new 'master regulatory' gene of key inflammatory processes in the brain that could be a potential target for new and more effective treatments."

He added that one passage in the Bible, the Magnificat or the Song of Mary is so revolutionary he was surprised it was not banned as un-American during the McCarthy era.

His comments came as he took part in a conference at the Trinity Wall Street church in New York discussing the idea of the common good.

In an address on whether inequality matters, he argued that a message of basic equality can be traced through the Bible from the Garden of Eden to the New Testament accounts of the early church.

He said that although wealth is, in some parts of the Bible, viewed as a blessing, in others it is linked to corruption but that overall there was no right to be rich.

He added that some people had labelled passages in the Book of Acts, talking about wealth being shared between the early Christians, as communist but said this was untrue because the common ownership in the Bible was voluntary not obligatory.

Looking ahead to the next 40 years, he said: In an era in which we will see the growth of technologies like Artificial Intelligence and gene therapies, economists like Lawrence Summers foresee growing inequalities between the small minority who can maximise the benefits of new technology and the large majority who will see only stagnation in income.

We face the challenge of a society in which inequality of education or health or opportunity becomes and continues to be a life sentence to poverty.

And that is the challenge which is exactly the one that we find the prophets so concerned about.

Mr Summers wrote last year that the devastating consequences of robots and technologies like 3D printing replacing human workers would become the main story in economics and politics in years to come.

The Archbishop said: The theological understanding is that wealth is always in danger of corrupting its holders in most cases, and the corrupted become too powerful.

Las Vegas hospital gets tech boost in cardiac care

A tech-savvy procedure involving magnets to fix heart arrhythmias debuted at Desert Springs Hospital Tuesday and is the first of its kind in the state.

Inside the new electrophysiology operating room sit two 2,000-pound rare-earth magnets on either side of an operating table. Across the way is a large glass window that connects to what is, in essence, a command center a small room filled with high-functioning computers where doctors will use heart-mapping software and the magnets to precisely guide catheters to the sources of irregular heartbeats.

The procedure called a cardiac catheter ablation used to be performed manually, with doctors steering the catheters to the problem spots based on electrocardiogram signals. Then the catheters burn the tissue triggering the abnormal impulses, said Lloyd Gauthier, a lead radiologic technologist at Desert Springs.

With the new technology, the catheter is magnetized and doctors use a joystick to guide the catheter to the tissue producing the arrhythmia, Gauthier said.

The manual procedure took two to eight hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the heartbeat abnormalities.

Hopefully, with the new technology of these magnets, it will cut that time down because were able to get exactly where we need to go quicker and more precise, Gauthier said.
