Typical Amount Of Money Received At A Wedding

Re-release:)


This has been a difficult decision but necessary. Barca
As they say, the stage came to an end, and with it my last Journal has passed into history. I do not end up closing it because I have many wonderful friends and as far as it goes, it was who gave me the opportunity to get to know the scene and get stage fright overcame my posting there my first letters with minimal direction. But the round is over for him.
So [info] nyx_fay  cierra sus puertas para darle la bienvenida a [info] cassbutt  -que nace de la contracción de Cass y su famoso: Assbutt ;) -.

Necesitaba un cambio, un lavado de cara y aquí estoy.
Nuevo Churnal, nuevo fandom, nueva OTP, nuevas obsesiones y nuevas espectativas para con ello.

Debo agradecerle a mi ángel personal -que tiene un crush importante con Sammeh- que se le metiera entre ceja y ceja que debía ver SPN. Aunque al principio cada una tiraba para un Winchi diferente servidora fue flechaza a traición Dean for the end both end up with a common love: Castiel \u0026lt;3 Only with a difference, it remains stable, and personally, I missed sanity after Jimmy and now remains an obsession n insane for that innocent angel. Angel Innocent
engaging as a drug, why drag people to the series as a refrigerator with a magnet does, is found. SPN
bump me out of my depression by life events and the hiatus of the evil that was installed in me and not allow me to not take a decent letter or stroke. Since Cass - Omg! Cass * drool * - I zappeó their world, lines sprout me alone and not for pen spinning, is surprising. But yes, I have too much motivation, but a lack of talent rather remarkable xD

In short I love to talk / write, I lose the north and the brown mess with things LF I hope that this Churnal Chuck is with me and thus have a longer life than the last.

So. ..

Advancement of Chapter 11 of Honey, I bought you a ring : Conversation.

- Promise me you'll care?

I rolled my eyes. That conversation seemed to be endless.

A couple of hours before boarding the plane heading to the destination of Jasper and she had chosen for his two-week honeymoon, Alice had found it necessary to get a quick visit to give me a ú latest recommendations. A final recommendations she says. An endless list of strict guidelines and tips cautious mother, as the rest of the universe. Renée

I had not even ever subjected to torture like that.

"Yes, Alice," I repeated, with the same exasperated twang and the same bored expression he had used the twenty-seven times before I was forced to repeat the same words from Alice had invaded the quiet of my apartment. I promise to be good, do not open the door to strangers and not riding in a car outside.

Alice did not seem to be satisfied.

- And also promise to talk with Edward?

I frowned. That was more difficult. That was much more difficult.

I opened my mouth to answer and, for a moment, I was sure that I drop disponíaa endless array of excuses that always reserved for when someone reminded me of the need to set the record straight with Edward once and for all.

For this reason, My answer took me by surprise even myself.

"Yes, I promise.

Alice watched me in silence for a few seconds. His face was contorted in a strange grimace, a mixture of sadness, pride and hope.

"I hope that's true," he said, letting his words with a sigh, before coming to me and wrap me in one of his signature hugs murderers. When he considered that the pressure had reached a sufficient level, separated, dedicating a small smile. I'll call you every day. If something happens, keep me informed, okay?

barely resisted the urge to put his eyes. Again. Instead, I settled match your face smiling, nodding. Two murderers

Masy hugs tearful a few smiles by both after-but did not understand the reason to mount a melodrama like that, just going to be separated for a fortnight & mdash ;, Alice left the apartment. Closed the door, leaning against it and letting my body slip into a sitting on the cold tile floor. I closed my eyes, resting her head against the wood with a thud. Until then, he deftly sidestepped the memories of the conversation he had with Edward last night. But he could not continue to run.

The ringing sound reverberated throughout the small apartment. I opened my eyes suddenly, his heart pounding against my chest because of the interruption. Breathe in, lifting the floor to open the door, sure that it was Alice again.

Possibly, repeat twenty-eight times to be careful and speak with Edward was not enough.

Abrñi a pull door with the words escaping my mouth in spurts, not bothering even to stop them.

-Alice, the promise to talk to ...

dumb as I realized that it was not Alice.

"Hi.

With one hand on the door frame and the other buried in the back pocket of his pants, Edward greeted me with his particular lopsided smile.

For a few seconds, or it may be hours, I was strangely difficult to estimate the time in the presence of Edward clouding my brain, I plunged into one of my moments of mental hang. That scene was completely surreal to me, as taken from my earliest memories of a time that seemed to have belonged to another life. In the doorway of the apartment where it started all over, waiting Edward, outlining that half-smile that had plagued me during the long afternoons of study attempted in the university library, almost three years ago.

What Kind Of Helmet For A Vespa

The breakdown of Alice


Advancement of Chapter 10 of Honey, I bought you a ring : The dream wedding of Bella.

- Bella! Alice exclaimed, turning his head toward me at breakneck speed and showing two bottles of pink nail polish Which do you prefer? Is the number nine or twenty-five?

My eyes jumped from one color to another. Were equal. Wrinkled forehead, squinting in an attempt to get a better view. Shit. Remained the same. What was supposed to mean?

Come on, Bella. Think. Think. THINK.

-Hmm ... nine? "I suggested hesitantly, without having the slightest idea what he was talking. Fuck. For more than look, they still look the same.

- Nine? Alice repeated, not very convinced. Noted the small boat, with a frown Do not you think it's too bright? Perhaps as color is aggressive for a wedding. "Too

estrogen Jacob spoke to me," I'm going, before you manage to change my sexual orientation.

He turned with the intention of escaping from there, but as his hand clutched the latch, the authoritative voice stopped him Alice. And although it was back to her and therefore was unable to see my friend glared at him, I was certain that a shiver of terror swept through her spine.

-not you dare move, "ordered Alice Jacob -. I need some sanity to not go crazy male. Why it seemed a good idea to surround myself with women hours before my wedding? Air-launched, to no one in particular, as if speaking aloud a troubled and dramatic monologue mental - Why, why , I decided to appoint as my bridesmaids two women?

Rosalie, who until then had been able to keep his temper under control, he decided that was enough. Launched an exasperated huff, crossing his arms and composing his most frightening face. Without even uttering a single word yet, had got to her side, Alice hysterical screams will stay in simple anecdote harmless.

- Why the bridesmaids are, by definition, women, perhaps? He suggested harsh tone.

- It's my wedding and I decide! Cried Alice "Besides, between you and your little speech moral and ultimatums Bella and me are getting on very difficult. Bella! He cried, startled by his sudden mood swings. "All brides are crazy much? - Was it necessary dejarme sin dos invitados a escasas horas de la boda? ¿Sabes lo difícil que ha sido reorganizar a mis invitados? Los asientos en la ceremonia, las mesas del banquete… ¡todo! ¿No podíais haber arreglado vuestras cosas sin sacarme de quicio y sin alterar mi perfectamente organizada boda?

Observé a Alice, con los ojos a punto de salirse de sus órbitas, la cara roja por el esfuerzo y los dos botes de laca aún en sus manos. Aquello se nos estaba yendo de las manos.

—Alice… —comencé suavemente, en un intento por hacer que la crisis not more nervous. But Rose cut me off.

"Alice, you're talking about Edward and Bella. The couple of melodramatic, remember? It is impossible to solve their problems without a cushy ride. Deal with it.

Taking charge of the situation, Rosalie Alice took her by the shoulders, lifting of the bed and making them sit in front of the toilet. He snatched one of the cans of paint from his hands, speaking with an authoritative tone: "And

Lamp For Big Green Egg Cart

Chief Swan. Life or death confrontation. August


Adelanto del capítulo 9 de Cariño, te he comprado un anillo: Ultimátum/Última oportunidad.

Charlie Swan carraspeó sonoramente a mi espalda. Cerré los ojos brevemente, preparándome para lo inevitable. Me di la vuelta con movimientos reticentes, saboreando my last moments of existence in this world. Because the Chief Swan was going to kill me. That was all secure. As discovered what had happened to his daughter, Chief Swan was going to kill me.

My Executioner I received with the same expression grim as ever. Not the slightest hint of sympathy was reflected in his harsh features. I outlined a little nervous smile in greeting, smile that erased immediately. Charlie Swan looked like a real sheriff, taken directly from the deadliest westerns. In his presence, any face Smiley was out of place. A desperate and futile attempt to plead clemency nonexistent.

My fate was sealed.

"Good night, Chief Swan.

My greeting was merely a demonstration of my weakness. A few words spoken in a whisper.

From the lips of Charlie Swan, a groan escaped indescribable.

"Hey, kid - he spoke, his voice raspy sheriff about sentencing the victim.

uncomfortable silence descended upon us. Chief Swan frowned, perhaps pondering his next words. Or perhaps refine the way he had chosen to end my life.

-Mmm - I started in a pathetic attempt to fill the silence with words - how he has been traveling from Forks? Charlie Swan

observed me up and down before giving a response.

-Largo.

I nodded, feeling like every muscle in my body contracted. I did not know exactly what to do with my hands, so I chose to hide them, burying them in the pockets of my pants. My movements were awkward coloring and a sample of the panic that had gripped me since my father had announced the fateful presence of Charlie Swan.

- And life at the station?

"As always.

My head turned to move up and down on a new agreement. He admired Charlie synthesis capacity Swan.

I opened my mouth to ask a new question banal, but the Chief Swan raised hand stopped me. Took a deep breath and began to drop as many consecutive words he had heard to pronounce in the same sentence since that distant day two years ago, when Bella decided to introduce me. A Elya his gun.

"Look, kid - started, giving me a look difficult to decipher - I called asshole for having appeared together another, but seeing that my daughter is doing the same with Jake ...

Chief Swan's lips were silent for a few tenths of a second. Dramatic pause inmate awaiting sentencing. He shook his head from side to side, before rendering its final decision.

I do not want or ask what is the game.

resisted the urge to release all the air that stood in my chest with a sigh of relief. Smartass wanted to thank me for not prematurely. Although Charlie Swan's words seemed to materialize a pardon, I decided be cautious and wait for a signal to confirm my suspicions.

- Dad!

Bella's voice, soft but tinged with a slight note of concern, reached my ears, just seconds before his own Bella appeared before my eyes. We looked from one to the other, frowning to see our expressions. Charlie, impassive. I ... well, I about to start running and get away from there as you will find the slightest opportunity.


NOTE: I confess I've had a great time recounting the suffering of Edward. I'm cruel, I know XD.

Cruise Ship Employment




may be crazy, but I can not wait because I arrived in September. Even if it means getting up again at 8 am every day, have a list of things to do that does not seem to go on forever, time to look under rocks and not being able to lie on the couch , without having absolutely nothing to do to - let me think - ah, yes, until next summer.

I do not care.

I can not wait to go back to the house upside down, put my life into a few suitcases and return to Madrid. I have to change my huge room for that little room in my flat in Madrid in which I have only space for all my looms. Leave behind the long hours with nothing interesting to do for the races to keep the subway. The books, the endless classes, practices that are good for nothing, reading sentences that nobody cares.

Okay, so maybe that one month in August seems more appealing. But that does not matter to me.

I hope the long afternoons on the couch thinking for hours doing nothing productive but unable to feel guilty. The endless talk about everything and everyone, changing the subject without even realizing it. The laughter at any time, jokes, complaints about how miserable we are when we actually know is a lie. The cold winter in Madrid, radiators that never work well and hot showers. Temperature changes down the stairs from the subway. Summer has never been my favorite season, but this year I have more desire than ever to end.

And do not forget you. Above all, you expect me. You, who never let you read this. You, out of joint when you walk for hours in Madrid and I can not think what to do. You, you just do everything I ask for is absurd. You, you're all that I like and more. And forever more. I can not wait to get off the subway and find you. Waiting for me, because I'm always late. Stay where ever, right?

August, do not take it personally. Do not hate you, but I like much better in September.

Happy 50th Birthday Funny Invitation Wordings

Embryonic cells transplanted Create new period of brain "plasticity" Keep Alive

UCSF scientists report they were able to bring a new period of "plasticity" or ability to change in the neural circuitry of the visual cortex of young rats. The approach, they say, could someday be used to create new periods of plasticity in the human brain that allows the repair of neural circuitry after injury or illness.

The strategy - which involved transplanting a specific type of immature neurons from embryonic mice in the visual cortex of young mice - Could be used to treat the altered neural circuitry in abnormal fetal development or postnatal, stroke, traumatic brain injury, psychiatric illness and aging.

Like all regions of the brain, the visual cortex goes through a very plastic during early childhood. The cells respond strongly to visual signals, which relay a quick, directed from one cell for the next in a process known as synaptic transmission. Produced chemical connections en este proceso de producción de circuitos neuronales que es crucial para la función del sistema visual. En los ratones, este período crítico de plasticidad se produce hacia el final de la cuarta semana de vida.

El catalizador de la plasticidad denominado período crítico en la corteza visual es el desarrollo de la señalización sináptica de las neuronas que liberan el neurotransmisor GABA inhibitorio. Estas neuronas reciben señales de otras neuronas excitadoras, contribuyendo así a mantener el equilibrio de la excitación y la inhibición en el sistema visual.

In their study, published in the journal Science, (Vol. 327. No. 5969, 2010), the scientists wanted to determine whether embryonic neurons, once they had become GABA-inhibitory neurons production, may induce plasticity in mice after the normal critical period had closed. The first team

dissected immature neurons from their origin in the median eminence embryonic node (MEG) of embryonic mice. Then transplanted MGE cells in the visual cortex of animals at two different stages minors. The stem cells aimed at the visual cortex were scattered throughout the region, matured into neurons GABAergic inhibition, and made widespread synaptic connections with excitatory neurons.

The scientists then conducted a process known as monocular visual deprivation, which blocked the visual cues for an eye in each animal for four days. When this process takes place during the critical period, the cells in the cortex visual rapidly become less sensitive to the private eye of sensory stimulation, and become more sensitive to non-private eye, creating changes in neural circuits. This phenomenon, known as ocular dominance plasticity, greatly decreases as the brain matures beyond this critical period of postnatal development.

The team wanted to see if the transplanted cells will affect the visual system's response to visual deprivation after the critical period. Researchers The effects of stem cell after allowing them to grow for various lengths of time. When cells were as young as 17 days old or as old as 43 days old, which had little impact on neural circuits in the region. However, when they were 33-39 days old, its impact was significant. During that time, the monocular visual deprivation neuronal responses changed away from private eye to the non-private eye, revealing the status of ocular dominance plasticity.

Naturally occurring, or endogenous, inhibitory neurons are also around 33-39 days of age when the normal period critical for plasticity occurs. Therefore, the impact that the transplanted cells "occurred once they had reached the age cell inhibitory neurons during the normal critical period.

The finding, the team says, suggests that the normal critical period of plasticity in the visual cortex is governed by a developmental program intrinsic inhibitory neurons, and inhibitory neurons may retain embryonic precursors and run this program when transplanted into the cortex after birth, so the creation of a new period of plasticity.

"The findings suggest that ultimately it may be possible using transplantation of inhibitory neurons, or some factor that is produced by inhibitory neurons to create a new period of plasticity DURATION n limited to repair damaged brains, "says the author Sunil P. Gandhi, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Michael Stryker, PhD, professor of fisiologíay member of the Centro Integral Keck Neuroscience at UCSF. "It will be important to determine if the transplant is equally effective in older animals."

Similarly, "the findings raise a fundamental question: how these cells, as go through a specific stage of development, creating these windows of plasticity? , The author says Derek G. Southwell, PhD, a student in the laboratory of Arturo Alvarez-Buylla, PhD, Heather and Melanie Muss Professor of Neurological Surgery and a member of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Health and Regeneration Research stem cell at UCSF.

The results could be relevant to understanding why learn certain behaviors, such as language, easily occurs in young children but not adults, says Alvarez-Buylla. "Grafted MGE cells may someday provide a way to induce cortical plasticity and learning in the future."

The results also complement two other recent studies using cells from MGE UCSF help ; na modify neural circuits. In a collaborative study between the laboratories of Scott Baraban, PhD, professor of neurological surgery, John Rubinstein, MD, PhD, professor of psychiatry, and Alvarez-Buylla, cells were grafted into the neocortex of rodents juvenile, which reduced the intensity and frequency of epileptic seizures. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, vol. 106, no. 36, 2009). Other teams are exploring this tactic, too.

In the other study (Cell Stem Cell, vol. 6, Number 3, 2010), the UCSF scientists reported the first use of MGES to treat motor symptoms in mice with a condition designed to mimic Parkinson's disease. The finding was reported by the laboratory of Arnold Kriegstein, MD, PhD, UCSF professor of neurologíay director of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCSF, in collaboration with Alvarez-Buylla and Bankiewicz Krys, MD, PhD, UCSF professor of neurological surgery.

stem cells in the adult brain signals requires

University of California, Berkeley, biologists have found a sign that keeps stem cells alive in the adult brain, providing a focus for scientists seeking ways to grow again or return to the seed of stem cells in the brain to allow the damaged areas repaired.

Researchers discovered in fruit flies to keep the accelerated insulin receptor in the brain prevents the death of neural stem cells that occurs when most brain regions mature into adult form. Whether the same technique work in humans is unknown, but the team hopes to discover Berkeley.

"This work does not point the way to take an adult who has lost the stem cells and bringing them back mysteriously, but suggests that mechanisms may be operating to get rid of them in the first place, "said K. Hariharan Iswara, UC Berkeley professor of molecular and cellular biology. "Also, if you were able to introduce neural stem cells in adult brain, suggesting that such mechanisms may need to have in place to keep them alive."
Hariharan noted
that other researchers have obtained stem cells Neural persist by blocking the genes that cause his death. However, this alone does not produce healthy cells, nerves, normal-looking mother who can make mature neurons. The new finding team of UC Berkeley shows that it is also necessary to provide a signal similar to insulin. If you stop neuronal stem cell death is analogous to taking the foot off the brake, then providing a signal similar to insulin is like stepping on the gas, he said. Both are essential.

Hariharan, post-doctoral researcher Sarah E. Siegrist y sus colegas publicaron sus hallazgos en la versión online de la revista Current Biology. Su informe aparecerá en abril de la revista 13 edición impresa.

La mayoría de las áreas del cerebro adulto de mamíferos y cerebro de la mosca de fruta carecen de las células madre neurales, las únicas células capaces de generar neuronas en toda regla. Presumiblemente, Hariharan dijo, la falta de células madre neurales es la razón por la lesión cerebral no está en condiciones de reemplazar las neuronas muertas.

En el nuevo estudio, Siegrist showed that stem cells present in the pupal stage of the fruit fly have been in the adult brain, and they die, and not only in mature neurons. Stem cells were persisted longer in the body of mushrooms, a region of fly brain responsible for memory and learning that, somehow, is like the hippocampus in humans.

In subsequent experiments, tried to prevent the death of neural stem cells in fruit flies genetically by blocking a process called programmed cell death (apoptosis). Although this allowed the stem cells to survive longer, the cells were small and did many neurons. In fact, Siegrist said, showed signs of growth retardation, suggesting the withdrawal of insulin.

then tried to mimic various genetic manipulations of the insulin signal type, this time with fruit flies with mutant genes also blocked apoptosis. Surprisingly, neural stem cells persisted for at least a month and has even spawned many mature, apparently normal nerve cells.

"These neural stem cells seem to behave properly express the proteins expected to express neural stem cells, which resemble their normal counterparts, and most importantly, have to change the EC , normal cells that develop into mature nerve cells that put out processes (axons) that in some cases, appear to be normal processes go, "said Siegrist. "We do not know whether these cells function normally or are electrically active. At least it is encouraging that we did get the nerve cells a part of the fruit fly () of the brain that normally can not make nerve cells in the adult brain. "

" Sarah had to make two manipulations together to keep these neural stem cells alive, and did not work alone, "said Hariharan. "One was to maintain the insulin signal on, and one was to block programmed cell death. Every things improved a bit, but when he did the two together, neural stem cells survived for a month when they had reneged on mature neurons or normal looking neurons sent out processes. "

Siegrist plans to continue his search through mutant fruit flies to find other genes that enhance survival in the mushroom body and leave the stem cells in other brain areas of the fly persist. She also plans to explore collaborations similar mechanisms in mammals, to see if similar manipulation could keep alive the neural stem cells in the mammalian brain.

"In fruit flies, the pathways downstream of the insulin receptor are important to maintain neural stem cells alive, "said Siegrist. "Mammals have the same genes downstream of the insulin receptor, so you can find the same response to insulin or growth factors insulin-like mammals." About 40

Insulin-Like Potential in preventing relapse of leukemia

percent of children and up to 70 percent of adults in remission from acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) will have a relapse. In recent years, doctors have come to believe that this is due to leukemia cells madre , sin cesar replicar las células de cáncer que generan las células sanguíneas inmaduras característicos de la leucemia y son resistentes a tratamientos contra el cáncer típico. Ahora, investigadores del Hospital Infantil de Boston han descubierto una posible forma de matar a estas células, y que les impiden iniciar una recaída.

El estudio, publicado en Internet 26 de marzo en la revista Science, muestra que las células madre de la leucemia no puede prosperar sin una vía determinada célula, conocida como la Wnt / vía de beta-catenin, suggesting that targeting this pathway may prevent the growth and development of AML.

"The greatest potential of this study is the suppression of recurrence of leukemia by a drug that inhibits beta-catenin," says Scott Armstrong, MD, PhD, Division of Children of Hematology and Oncology and the study's lead author.

Yingzi Wang, PhD, Children's Division of Hematology / Oncology, Armstrong team member and author principal del estudio, se concentró en la beta-catenina como un jugador importante en la leucemia de células madre al trabajar con dos tipos diferentes de células de sangre al inicio - Las células madre de la sangre, lo que genera todos los diferentes tipos de células sanguíneas, y granulocitos / macrófagos progenitores restringida, más maduro, las células diferenciadas que sólo generan ciertos glóbulos blancos. Lo hicieron mediante la activación de dos genes encontrados previamente para inducir la LMA, Hoxa9 Meis1 y, a continuación, inject the cells into mice.

activation of the two genes that are induced AML in mice injected with blood stem cells, but not in mice injected with the parents. Genetic analysis revealed that parents lack an active beta-catenin pathway. Although this pathway is active in blood stem cells after a person is born, plays a vital role during fetal development only, and is completely inactive in the progenitor cells ma s different. This led al equipo a pensar en la beta-catenina que se necesitaba para la leucemia de células madre para desarrollar, crecer y provocar leucemia.

Para probar esta idea, los investigadores introdujeron una forma activa de la beta-catenina en las células progenitoras y después de activar Hoxa9 Meis1. Una vez inyectado en ratones, estas células progenitoras tarde inducción de la leucemia.

Los investigadores confirmaron además el papel de la beta-catenina por el tratamiento de los ratones que se habían inyectado células madre con leucemia con la indometacina de drogas, que bloquea la vía de la beta-catenina. The tests showed that the number of stem cells of leukemia was reduced in mice given the drug. Indomethacin also reduced the number of stem cells in mice with fully developed leukemia.

Most children with AML develop the disease as a result of what investigators called mixed lineage leukemia fusion proteins that can activate genes HOXA9 and Meis1. To see if one of these proteins also affected the beta-catenin pathway, the team sought progenitor cells with mixed lineage leukemia fusion protein MLL-AF9. MLL AF9 and Meis1 HOXA9 activated, and the path of the beta-catenin, and the mice injected with stem cells developed leukemia. But when the mice were treated with an agent to clear the path of beta-catenin in vivo, leukemia stem cells could not succeed.

This research suggests that stem cell leukemia in need of beta-catenin pathway for survival, and treatments that block this pathway puede erradicar la leucemia de células madre y evitar que los pacientes con LMA de tener una recaída.

Antes de que estos hallazgos pueden ser aplicados en la clínica, mejores inhibidores de beta-catenina se necesitan, ya que no se sabe si la indometacina puede administrarse a personas con leucemia en dosis suficientemente altas para acabar con la leucemia de células madre sin tener efectos tóxicos, dice Armstrong. El siguiente paso para los investigadores es determinar la razón por la leucemia de células madre necesitan de la vía beta-catenina para sobrevivir.

"Cualquier paso en el camino es una potential therapeutic opportunity, "says Armstrong.

This study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. Armstrong's work is funded in part by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

via Gene Targeting To explain mouse embryonic stem cell immortality revealed by the study in zebrafish

Researchers at the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, have discovered a key to embryonic stem (ES) cell rejuvenation in a gene - Zscan4 - as reported in the edition of March 24, 2010, online in Nature. This finding could advance tener implicaciones importantes para la investigación del envejecimiento, biología de células madre, la medicina regenerativa y la biología del cáncer.

células madre embrionarias son únicas porque, junto con la capacidad de convertirse en casi cualquier tipo de célula en el cuerpo, pueden producir infinidad de generaciones nuevas, las células ES en pleno funcionamiento (células hijas). células madre embrionarias son esencialmente inmortal, es decir que pueden dividirse indefinidamente para producir generaciones funcionales adicionales de las células ES daughters. Other cells can only produce a certain number of generations of daughter cells before they no longer work correctly. This is partly because the telomere, in order to protect the chromosome that carries genetic information in cells is shortened each time a cell divides. When telomeres become very short, can no longer protect the cell. At that time, the cell dies, it turns itself off, known as cellular senescence, or produce abnormal and dysfunctional cells, possibly.

So far, the mechanism for ES cell immortality had been a mystery. The prevailing theory was that ES cells practice "self-renewal, which means that when it divides, daughter cells are produced that were completely natural (including the length of telomeres) parent. NIA researchers found that the process that occurs in embryonic stem cells may be more properly described as "rejuvenating" the "self-renewal." As in other cells when the ES cells replicate, the daughter cells are not identical to the parents and the telomeres are shorter.

However, ES cells express a gene Zscan4 only, when activated (or on), ES cells rejuvenate, restore its original force. This rejuvenation includes telomere elongation through recombination, the shorter telomeres when combined with a telomere itself more time to elongated. Zscan4 then turns off. The gene is not activated each time the cell replicates - about 5 percent of the cells have a gene turned on at any point. The process is a cycle of cell replication (with telomere shortening) and intermittent activation Zscan4 (rejuvenation of cells).

En un artículo publicado en el 25 de marzo 2010 de la revista Nature, los investigadores que trabajan en el Instituto Salk para Estudios Biológicos y el Centro de Medicina Regenerativa de Barcelona (CMRB) identificó una población de células del corazón de peces que es el origen de esta hazaña asombrosa curación, un hallazgo que podría dar an idea of how mammalian hearts could be persuaded to repair after injury caused by a heart attack.

Izpisúa Juan Carlos Belmonte, Ph.D., professor in the Gene Expression Laboratory, the team is not the stem cells-the "usual" suspects regeneration to mend a heart wounded fish. In contrast, the repair is done differentiated heart muscle cells known as cardiomyocytes, the adult cell whose normal job is to provide the contractile force of the heart.

"What the results of our study show that Mother Nature is used other ways besides going all the way back to pluripotent stem cells to regenerate tissues and organs," says Izpisúa Belmonte, noting that at least in fish, the body may have evolved remarkable strategies repair driven by the types of cells with more experience than the stem cells .

Para identificar qué células realmente provistos en el músculo extirpado corazón del pez cebra, el equipo de Izpisúa Belmonte empleado por primera vez algo de ingeniería genética para hacer sólo los cardiomiocitos "transgénicos" mediante la inserción en ellas un gen marcador que les hizo brillan en color verde bajo un microscopio.

A continuación, literalmente cortó alrededor del 20% de cada ventrículo peces y esperó un par de semanas para que el corazón para regenerate: regenerate heart muscle if you do not shine, would mean that cells other than cardiomyocytes, such as a cardiac stem cell population, had replaced the muscle damaged.

But in a surprising finding, all muscle cells regenerate heart glowed green, indicating that other well-established cardiomyocytes after injury had probably returned to a "youngest" the state, began to divide again to replenish lost cells and then matured for a second time in the new heart muscle. The group also showed cardiomyocytes lost youth recaptured in part by the revival of the production of proteins associated with cell proliferation, factors normally expressed in immature progenitors.

human hearts can not have this type of regenerative changes yourself. When damaged by a heart attack, our heart muscle is replaced by scar tissue incapable of contracting. However, prior heart failure, the damaged heart muscle cells of mammals enter a state save yourself known as "hibernation", which no longer Hiring n an effort to survive.

Chris Jopling, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow in the CMRB Izpisúa Belmonte and first author of the study, believes that the human heart "hibernation" as significant. "During the regeneration of the heart in zebrafish were found cardiomyocytes displayed structural changes similar to those seen in hibernating cardiomyocytes, "he said, noting that these changes are really necessary before the fish cardiomyoctes could begin to split. "Because of these similarities, we hypothesize that hibernating mammals cardiomyocytes may represent cells that are trying to proliferate."

So the good news is that the heart of mammals can undergo a kind of metabolism "downsizing" this is a prelude to cell division. "This idea fits well with the findings of a number of groups - which led to the expression of cell cycle regulators can induce proliferation of cardiomyocytes in mammals," says Jopling. "Maybe all you need is a bit of a nudge in the right direction."

A search focuses on the factors that could supply that push. Although he's optimistic about the outcome, Belmonte also Izpisúa believes the study should be careful not to overlook the researchers to the potential contributions that could grow cells for regeneration. "We can not see the differentiated cells as a static endpoint of the differentiation process," says Izpisúa Belmonte, who also heads the CMRB. "If we could mimic in mammalian cells that occurs in zebrafish, we might be able to understand why regeneration no se produce en los seres humanos."

Technology chemokine to increase the efficacy of tissue-specific stem cells homing relief

Entest Biomedical Inc. (OTCBB: ENTB) announced the filing of a patent application on the use of stem cells to attract molecules called chemokines in the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other conditions that may benefit from increased stem cell homing.

Chemokines are produced naturally by the body in times of tissue injury and believed to be an essential part of the healing process. Entest intellectual property used these molecules to attract stem cells to damaged tissue to increase the effectiveness of existing and developing new cell therapies.

"Clinical trials of stem cell have demonstrated safety and efficacy in the signs of heart failure, liver failure and peripheral arterial disease. Unfortunately there is still much room for improvement in patient outcomes," said Dr. Steven Josephs, lead inventor of the patent application. "The present invention provides a way to make stem cell therapy work better, increasing the number of stem cells in the tissue where they are needed. "

The FDA has already approved a drug that works by altering the homing of stem cells. Mozobil, a drug developed by Genzyme Corporation, is used to induce stem cells to make a specific anatomic (bone marrow). The methods included in the function of a patent application Entest opposite way using specific molecules attract stem cells.

"Today's presentation represents the global strategy Entest patent to deal with COPD through a multidisciplinary way, "said David Koos, Chairman and CEO of Entest. "Since some of these technologies may be useful in increasing stem cell therapy for other indications, we are always looking for partnerships for development in our non-core areas."

Bone stem cells the future could be used instead of donor bone as part of an innovative new treatment for hip replacement, according to scientists at the University of Southampton.

A team from the University School of Medicine believe that the introduction of a patient's own cells madre del esqueleto en la articulación de la cadera durante el injerto óseo se re-crecimiento más éxito y reparación.

La técnica del injerto se utiliza para reparar el hueso del muslo y la articulación durante el reemplazo (conocido como «revisión») la terapia de reemplazo de cadera, un procedimiento en el que los cirujanos introducen ósea del donante a la zona dañada para proporcionar apoyo a la madre nueva cadera.

En este estudio de colaboración entre la Universidad de Southampton y la Universidad de Nottingham, los investigadores used adult stem cells from bone marrow, combined with innovative retention process and polymer scaffolds.

In a two-year study, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), the researchers aim to improve the outcome of this procedure with high impact.

"Surgeons now use donor bone for bone grafting, so the introduction of own patient's stem cells to create a living cell or composite material would to an entirely new approach, "says Professor Richard Oreffo, an expert in musculoskeletal science at the University of Southampton, who heads the project.

"This is very much the beginning of a project to investigate the potential of this new technique, but our preliminary work suggests that this may have important therapeutic implications."

When a joint the hip is damaged, the part of the thigh bone or femur, including the ball, can be removed and a new artificial joint to the bone remaining thigh. Revision hip replacement occurs when that artificial joint needs to change. Professor

Oreffo introduce the stem cells for the hip joint using a scaffold or support structure that is designed to protect them, and impaction process again.

polymer scaffolds will be developed by Professors Steve Howdle and Kevin Shakesheff, experts in chemistry and tissue engineering at the University of Nottingham.

Professor Howdle said: "On the basis of strong partnerships with experts in tissue engineering, this new grant will allow researchers to make their materials Nottingham closer to the clinic.

"This could have major benefits for patients, and also offer significant cost savings to health authorities, but first we need to verify and are based on our preliminary data."

"An important part of work in Nottingham will involve the extension of equipment supercritical fluid processing para crear más grandes y más lotes homogéneos de polímero andamios para la prueba."

El Dr. Chris Watkins, Traducción MRC Líder temático, dice: "Resiliencia, reparación y reemplazo es un área de investigación prioritaria en el plan estratégico de la MRC, 'Vidas Los cambios de Investigación. Este estudio pone de manifiesto cómo un enfoque regenerativo puede ofrecer una esperanza real para hacer frente a un problema importante para una población que envejece. "

Estos permitirána fund groups based on initial studies showing that the degradable polymer scaffolds prepared using technology of supercritical carbon dioxide can have a dramatic effect on surgical procedures such as the insertion of a hip implant in revision hip surgery.

interim studies conducted in Southampton shows that the polymers can contribute to bone formation through the creation of a living cell / composite material and bonding assistance of hip implants.

Collins the NIH, defends the policy of Obama Administration Upon investigation

\u0026lt;div style="text-align: In a letter to the editor of the Washington Post about a recent article on embryonic stem cell research, director of NIH, Francis Collins writes that he is "concerned that readers might come away ... confused about what is happening "in the agency. He adds that "research \u0026lt;a href =" Http://www.crio-cord.com/ "> stem \u0026lt;/ a> is progressing rapidly, thanks to the new policy of President Obama" (Collins, The Washington Post, 3 / 20).

The Post article reported that while Obama administration has lifted many restrictions on President George W. s Bush on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, some researchers are finding new heavy ethical requirements "(Women's Health Policy Report, 3 / 16).

Collins writes that the "number of lines in the new NIH Stem Cell Registry - 44 - is more than double the number of the old lines approved" . The new policy also eliminates a restriction on the use of stem cell lines created after a certain date, say Collins, adding that the NIH currently "is reviewing more than 100 lines, with 230 more on the way."

continues: "While the \u0026lt;a href=" "> http://www.crio-cord.com/ stem cells \u0026lt;/ a> lines meet with the ethical guidelines laid down in politics, can be used in federally funded research. "Collins writes that although responsibility "is that scientists derive from the lines" to submit to the NIH, the agency is "working closely with them." In addition, the agency to "establish a policy that allows dealers using the old lines to continue doing so during the life of the concession."

concludes that the new policy allows a number of "continuous growth" of lines to be considered, says the research is ethical and responsible, and "holds great promise for patients and their families" (Washington Post, 3 / 20).

defibrotide Gentium Announces Results Featured in the opening of the Session and Symposium on Stem Cell

Gentium SpA (Nasdaq: GENT) announced that the abstract entitled "defibrotide prevents liver VOD and significantly reduces the complications associated with VOD-at-risk children: final results of a prospective phase II / III multicentre, "was presented on Sunday, March 21, 2010, at the opening session of the Blood and Marrow Transplantation European (EBMT) 36th Annual Meeting in Vienna . The abstract was awarded the prestigious Van Bekkum Award for best abstract submitted to the medical program. Dr. Selim Corbacioglu, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Regensburg (Germany) and principal investigator of pediatric prevention trial, accepted the award and presented the final results.

This Phase II / III, randomized, controlled trial evaluated the prophylactic use of defibrotide in pediatric transplant stem cell (SCT) patients at high risk of veno-occulsive (VOD .) In the analysis by intention to treat (ITT), which included 356 patients (180 patients in the prophylaxis group and 176 in the grupo de control), defibrotide demostrado una reducción del 40% en la incidencia de vídeo a la carta dentro de los 30 días después de la SCT, la variable principal de el estudio. la incidencia fue del 20% de Video por Demanda en el grupo control y 12% en el grupo de profilaxis (p = 0,0488 riesgo competitivo; p = 0,0507 de Kaplan-Meier). En el análisis por protocolo, la incidencia fue del 20% de Video por Demanda en el grupo control y 11% en el grupo de profilaxis (p = 0,0225 riesgo competitivo; p = 0,0234 de Kaplan-Meier). Un valor de p igual o inferior a 0,05 se necesita para alcanzar significación estadística.

addition, a pre-specified analysis showed that the incidence and severity of graft versus host disease (GVHD) for 100 days in recipients of allogeneic SCT was significantly reduced from 63% the control group to 45% for the prophylaxis group (p = 0.0046 for the incidence of GVHD and p = 0.0034 for severity). Renal failure was reduced from 6% in the control group to 1% in the defibrotide group (p = 0.0169). With respect to security, defibrotide was well tolerated and no difference in adverse events was observed between the two study arms.

"The resultados del estudio demostraron que defibrotide redujo la incidencia de VOD en alto riesgo de los pacientes pediátricos", declaró el doctor Selim Corbacioglu. "SCT pacientes que desarrollan VOD, independientemente de su gravedad ya pesar de un tratamiento rápido, tienen una tasa de mortalidad cuatro veces mayor que los pacientes sin VOD. También estamos muy entusiasmados de que defibrotide tiene el potencial de reducir la incidencia y severidad de la EICH aguda, una vida principales complicaciones, que es frecuente en SCT y tiene opciones de tratamiento limitadas. Creemos que defibrotide podría tener un papel futuro de la prevención de la GVHD. "

" defibrotide VOD prevention study is the largest study in the context of pediatric SCT and the results have been included in the EBMT press conference, "said Professor Dietger Niederwiesa University of Leipzig, president of the opening session, the chairman of the EBMT, and newly elected president of the Global Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT). "The results of this study, showing a reduction in VOD, and the possible beneficial effects on GVHD and renal failure are consistent with the effects of endothelial protection and confirm the potential of defibrotide in the prevention of transplant-related toxicities. "

"We are very encouraged by the recognition of this study by the leaders of the European Hematology community," said Dr. Massimo Iacobelli, Scientific Director, Gentium. "We are fully committed to the preparation of regulatory filings for the treatment prevencióny video on demand."

defibrotide biological activity and mechanism de acción se destacan en un cartel distinto-presentación, "defibrotide protege las células endoteliales microvasculares de las señales pro-inflamatorias y pro-apoptótica mediada por fludarabina: un microarray (Affimetrix) análisis". Este estudio proporciona nuevos datos biológicos sobre la forma defibrotide podría proteger contra las células endoteliales la activación inducida por la quimioterapia y la muerte celular, sin afectar el efecto de fludarabina antileucémica y sin afectar a endotelio normal.

El simposio satélite "defibrotide for the Treatment of Liver Prevencióny VOD following stem cell transplantation "was well attended, with presentations by opinion leaders Dr. Ernst Holler (University of Regensburg), the Dr. Selim Corbacioglu (University of Regensburg), Dr. Paul Richardson (Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, USA) and Dr. Enric Carreras (University of Barcelona). The symposium was chaired by Dr. Rob Soiffer (Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, USA).

About the Phase II / III European trial of pediatric prevention

EBMT Phase II / III European trial of pediatric prevention was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open to evaluate the prophylactic use of defibrotide in patients under 18 years of age who underwent stem cell transplantation (SCT) and were at high risk of Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD). Patients randomized to the prophylaxis group received 25 mg / kg / day in four divided doses defibrotide at the time of initiation of conditioning until 30 days after transplantation. Patients assigned to the control arm did not receive prophylactic therapy VOD. Patients received defibrotide as therapy if they developed VOD. The primary study endpoint was the development of VOD within 30 days after of the SCT, based on the modified criteria of Seattle. A blinded independent review committee of three experts hematologists confirmed the diagnosis of VOD.

About
VOD
veno-occlusive disease is a potentially life-threatening, which normally occurs as a major complication of stem cell transplantation. Some high-dose conditioning regimens used as part of SCT can damage the cells lining the hepatic blood vessels and thus result in VOD, a blockage of small veins of the liver that leads to liver failure and can result in significant dysfunction in other organs such as kidneys and lungs ( Call severe VOD). SCT is a treatment modality often used following high-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy for blood cancers and other conditions in both adults and children. Currently, no approved agent for the treatment or prevention of VOD in the U.S. or the EU.

GVHD About

Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a complication that frequently occurs after allogeneic stem cell where the blood-forming cells to an entirely new immune system is transplanted from a donor. The differences between donor and recipient T cells frequently (a subtype of white blood cells) from the donor recognize the recipient's body tissues as foreign. When this happens, the newly transplanted immune system attacks the transplant recipient's body. Increased risk GVHD with the degree of mismatch between donor and recipient.

growth, regeneration promoted by the recently

Scientists at Duke University Medical Center have identified a novel growth factor that stimulates growth and regeneration of hematopoietic (blood forming) stem cells the in culture and in laboratory animals. The discovery, que aparece en la revista Nature Medicine, los investigadores pueden ayudar a superar una de las barreras de la frustración a la terapia celular: el hecho de que las células madre son tan pocos en número y obstinadamente tan resistente a la expansión.

Los investigadores creen que la sangre del cordón umbilical podría servir como una fuente universal de las células madre para todos los pacientes que necesitan un trasplante de células madre, pero el número de células madre en las unidades de sangre del cordón umbilical son limitados, por lo que existe una necesidad clínica de desarrollar un método para ampliar sangre del cordón umbilical las células madre para trasplantes. "Desafortunadamente, no soluble growth factors identified to date that have been proven to extend human stem cells for therapeutic purposes, "said John Hopper, MD, a transplant physician stem cells and cell biologist at Duke and lead author .

Chute, in collaboration with Heather Himburg, post-doctoral fellow in his laboratory, found that the addition of pleiotrophin, a growth factor naturally stimulated a tenfold expansion of stem cells extracted from bone marrow a mouse.

pleiotrophin also found that increasing the number of cord blood human umbilical stem cells in culture that were able to graft in immunodeficient mice. When injected into mice that received radiation pleiotrophin bone marrow suppression, there was a 10-fold increase in bone marrow compared with untreated mice. "These results confirm that induce stem cells to regenerate after injury pleiotrophin," Chute said.

Chute says the finding could lead to wider application of transplantation of umbilical cord blood for the large number of patients who have no immune-matched donor "Perhaps most important, treatment systemic pleiotrophin may have the potential to accelerate the recovery of the blood and immune system in patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, "he said.

Given the power of the effect on the expansion of pleiotrophin stem cells, the authors examined whether caused pleiotrophin blood-forming cells to become malignant. So far, Chute says that I have not seen any evidence of cancer in mice up to six months after treatment with pleiotrophin.

The Duke team is now conducting additional experiments to determine whether pleiotrophin is required for normal growth stem cells and development y Chute dice que será importante llevar a cabo estudios adicionales de los animales antes de entrar en ensayos clínicos humanos. "En este momento, cualquier progreso que puede hacer que nos ayuda a comprender mejor las vías biológicas que se activan en las células madre en respuesta a pleiotrophin ayudará a mover el descubrimiento hacia adelante".

Cell Technology Duke Center for Cell Therapy benefits of donating to the Robertson Foundation

10.2 million U.S. dollars a commitment of the Robertson Foundation to create a state of the art Translational Cell Therapy Center (TCTC) will advance research pioneer Duke Medical therapy Cell and treatment programs children and adults with cancer, cerebral palsy, stroke and brain damage suffered at birth. In making the announcement, Victor J. Dzau, MD, Chancellor for Health Affairs, Duke University and executive director of Duke University Health System, said the gift is intended to facilitate the translation of advances in cell therapy for patient care, especially those related to the work of Joanne Kurtzberg, MD, and his team, who have spent decades researching the therapeutic use of umbilical cord blood.

"The emerging field of regenerative medicine is very promising, and this generous donation will accelerate the pace of Dr. Kurtzberg, and other scientists from Duke, world-renowned work of translation in cell therapy, "said Dzau. "The creation of the TCTC will support the work of many researchers at Duke exploring different applications of cell-based therapies."

Kurtzberg is director of Duke Pediatric Blood and Transplant Mé ; gland Program and director of the Carolinas Cord Bank (CCBB), who founded in 1996 with support from the National Institutes of Health and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Over the years, the CCBB has grown to become a treatment, storage verificacióny Center for Public cord blood units donated by mothers gave birth in 14 hospitals and health systems across the region . The CCBB is one of the largest public banks of cord blood in the world, currently storing about 27,000 units.

"Dr. Kurtzberg's research reflects the kind of science of transformation that has el potencial para cambiar la vida de miles de personas en todo el país y en todo el mundo", dijo Julian Robertson en nombre de la Fundación Robertson. "La Fundación tiene un enorme respeto por la investigación realizada en Duke en el transcurso de nuestra larga relación, y estamos muy contentos de apoyarlo a través de este don."

sangre del cordón umbilical las células madre, normalmente se desecha después del nacimiento, tienen la capacidad de crecer y desarrollarse en varios tipos de células de todo el cuerpo. Pueden ser cosechados después birth and stored for future transplantation in patients with many types of blood disorders, and increasingly, as well as other diseases. Kurtzberg

is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in umbilical cord blood stem cell therapies. She attended the first person to receive a transplant of umbilical cord blood, and was the first in the world to perform a transplant umbilical cord blood are not related. Much of his current focus is on children with acquired brain injury, or genetically related.

Children with cerebral palsy and other brain injuries come from all over the world to receive cord blood treatments under the direction of Kurtzberg. Despite the anecdotal observations that these procedures are beneficial, such observations should be validated carefully controlled and rigorously conducted trials that will be possible thanks to their generous donation.

"This gift comes at a time so important because it will allow us to move forward with the first placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial in children with cerebral palsy brain that has been specifically designed to answer key questions about the efficacy of cord blood treatment in children with this condition, "says Kurtzberg.

Part of the grant will be used to build a special laboratory where cells are stored harány therapeutic. Plans call for a production of 4,000 square meters of cells and adjacent office space in the 9 th floor of Duke North Pavilion. The laboratory work bajo buenas prácticas de manufactura (GMP), lo que significa que todo el trabajo seguirá pautas estrictas implementadas por los EE.UU. Food and Drug Administration para garantizar el mayor grado de seguridad y calidad.

Con el tiempo, Kurtzberg dice que el apoyo de la Fundación Robertson también permitirá:

* Estudios de sangre del cordón trasplantes de células madre en los recién nacidos algunos con cardiopatía congénita

* Estudios de cuerda-como las células de oligodendrocitos derivados de la sangre (células that produce myelin and insulate nerves lining factors in the brain) in children with genetically determined neurodegenerative diseases acquired

* Studies to determine the value of using umbilical cord blood or bone marrow cells in adults with stroke or brain injury resulting from radiation to treat brain cancer

"We are especially grateful to the Foundation Robertson for this gift as traditional funding sources de la investigación en la actualidad están muy lejos de lo que se necesita", dijo Nancy Andrews, MD, PhD, Decano de la Universidad de Duke Facultad de Medicina. "Al mismo tiempo, nuestra necesidad de apoyo continúa, sobre todo si - y en última instancia, nuestros pacientes - la esperanza de capitalizar en el momento oportuno de los muchos descubrimientos emocionantes nuevos provenientes de nuestros laboratorios de investigación."

functional remodeling of human benign prostatic tissue in vivo by spontaneously Inm

www.crio-cord.com - regeneración de los tejidos adultos o de remodelación, se sugiere iniciar de madre multipotentes, las células progenitoras and stem cells. We have recently reported two new human adults tumorigenic epithelial cell lines and prostate NHPrE1 BHPrE1, which have been generated and characterized in our laboratory. NHPrE1 cells were designated as putative stem cells, showing high levels of expression of stem cells of proteins associated with CD133, CD44, Oct4 and PTEN detected by immunofluorescence (IF) tincióny Western blot. BHPrE1 is defined as intermediate or transit amplifying (TA) cells that express the cell cycle regulation, biomarkers related to p63, p53, p21/WAF1 and RB. We used a tissue recombination xenograft mouse model to compare functional regeneration of human tissues from the prostate gland in vivo.

A series of recombinant tissue by different proportions of the mixture of cells with prostatic NHPrE1 or inductive BHPrE1 rat urogenital sinus mesenchyme (UGM), were transplanted to the kidney capsule of immunodeficient mice SCID male. Both lines BHPrE1 NHPrE1 cell and were able to regenerate human model, the acinar architecture benign secretory ducts in vivo, containing intact basal and luminal epithelial layers.

functional remodeling of human benign prostatic tissue in vivo by NIH Ethics

www.crio-cord.com - adult tissue regeneration or remodeling, we suggest start of multipotent stem and progenitor cells \u0026lt;a href = " http://www.crio -cord.com / "> stem \u0026lt;/ a>. We have recently reported two new human adults tumorigenic lines of prostate epithelial cells and BHPrE1 NHPrE1 that have been generated and characterized in our laboratory. NHPrE1 cells were designated as putative stem cells, showing high levels of expression of stem cells of proteins associated with CD133, CD44, Oct4 and PTEN detected by immunofluorescence (IF) tincióny Western blot. BHPrE1 is defined as intermediate or transit amplifying (TA) cells that express the cell cycle regulation, biomarkers related to p63, p53, p21/WAF1 and RB. We used a recombination tissue xenotransplantation mouse model to compare functional regeneration of human tissues from the prostate gland in vivo.

A series of recombinant tissue by different proportions of the mixture of cells with prostatic NHPrE1 or inductive BHPrE1 rat urogenital sinus mesenchyme (UGM), were transplanted to the kidney capsule of immunodeficient mice SCID male. Both cell lines could BHPrE1 NHPrE1 and regenerate the human model, the acinar architecture benign secretory ducts in vivo, containing intact basal and luminal epithelial layers. Cytokeratin appropriate profiles were observed in epithelial tissue layers. The differentiation of prostate-associated proteins, such as the androgen receptor (AR), prostate specific antigen (PSA), NKX3.1 and 15-lipoxygenase-2 (15 - LOX-2), were properly expressed in epithelial remodeling.

Spontaneously complicated requirements research Some embryonic stem cells

Despite the restrictions on federal funding for human embryonic research stem cells are up in the Obama administration, some researchers are finding new ethical requirements burdensome, Washington Post reports.

Under the administration of George W. Bush, only 21 stem cell "lines" was allowed to receive funding federal research. President Obama relaxed the restrictions, but allowed the National Institutes of Health to issue ethical guidelines. The guidelines, in part, requires that the stem cell research with federal funds meet certain ethical criteria, such as ensuring that people who donated the embryos were informed of other options.

Researchers have existing federal subsidies can continue studying the "Bush" lines, but any research involving the new concessions, not even research along the lines of age, must meet the guidelines of the NIH.

is not clear how many of the 21 lines within the guidelines of ethics. According to the Post, the NIH has approved 43 lines, only one of which is the original group of 21 lines. In addition, the NIH still has 115 lines of review, and only two of them are "Bush" lines.

Timothy Kamp, director of the center of and medicine stem cells regeneration at the University of Wisconsin, said: "Some of these lines were obtained over a decade ago," which means that the relevant records may not be available, and may not have records available, while "Some of the researchers derived lines no longer occur" or "could not be motivated to provide the records in a timely manner."

He added: "We are losing access to the lines of this approval process for a period of time - perhaps indefinitely. They are the main workhorses for many of our projects. " Kamp, said that the NIH should review its guidelines for the grandfather of the existing lines to give researchers a period of two years of grace so they can continue their research with new grants.

Lana Skirboll, director of NIH science policy, said the agency is "nice" but added, "Our responsibility is to ensure that we are conducting research lines of responsibility that comes "

Therapeutic potential of adult bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells Cancer Blood Stem Cell

UroToday.com - adult bone marrow derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been shown to inhibit tumor growth in different studies. Although MSC express MHC class I molecules, which lack expression of costimulatory molecules and suppress T cell response, which gives the utility to overcome a wide range of immunological barriers. Furthermore, the ability of MSC to home in on sites of tumor growth is well known as plasticity allows them to differentiate into bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, neurons and other tissues. Systemic administration of MSC in mice has been shown to engraft in the tumor microenvironment in many types of cancer and therefore represents an attractive vehicle for gene therapy strategies cell .

In a preclinical mouse model, we have recently shown that the application of unmodified MSC, constitutively expressing (OPG) in inhibiting the growth of prostate tumors in bone formation by new bone and loss prevention bone. Although this treatment has shown promise in the early stages of bone metastasis, it is irrelevant when tested against established prostate tumors in bone. This limitation is because the number of MSC that could be injected into mice of the tibia, an excess of 5x105 cells routinely results in a certain degree of pulmonary embolism. In this scenario, the number of cancer cells in established tumors outnumbered the MSC, resulting in modest therapeutic effects. Apart from

therapeutic benefits of MSC OPG expression in the early stages of bone metastasis, this study also indicates the presentation of bone tissue in bone metastases prostate cancer. In our study, the therapeutic effect of MSC is given initially in the formation of spongy bone around the tumor nests. The spongy bone formation is normal fracture healing and osteoblastic metastases characteristic in Prostate cancer, unlike other types of metastatic bone cancer are primarily osteolytic nature. Based on our observations, we hypothesized that the spongy bone formation of bone metastases in prostate cancer is an endogenous therapeutic response given by the resident MSC. Roudier and colleagues (2008) studied bone samples from patients with prostate cancer and bone metastases showed the spongy bone formation in osteoblastic metastases originate in the skeletal MSC, which also supports our results. When we compare the growth kinetics of large osteolytic PC3 human prostate cancer osteoblastic cell line C4-2B cell line in the tibia of mice, aggressive PC3 cells proliferated and led to severe bone loss within a month, while the C4-2B cells grew to a significantly slower rate, initially generated an osteoblastic phenotype, but in the long run turned to an osteolytic phenotype. We believe that the slow progression of C4-2B cells provides a therapeutic window for endogenous MSC to restore bone loss caused by the initial osteolytic phenomenon required for Ca ; cancer to establish the growth in the bone microenvironment. This observation must be confirmed in human patients with bone metastases prostate.

Our cooperation in the in vitro testing indicate MSC has no negative effect on the proliferation of cell line PC3 prostate cancer. In our animal model, MSC limited the treatment of tumor growth in bone, but not completely remove the tumor. Metastatic tumors Therefore, the therapeutic application of MSC alone may not be sufficient for the eradication of the bones. MSC express tumoricidal Ex vivo gene engineering as well as maintaining self-renewal and differentiation of the properties will be useful as combination therapy. MSC treatment can also be applied as adjuvant therapy in addition to chemotherapy or radiotherapy to restore lost bone mass and prevent cancer, the promotion of mechanisms such as angiogenesis.

This study was based on a tumor located in the tibia of ratóny not accurately represent bone metastases in prostate cancer has become widespread in esqueleto. Por lo tanto, el concepto propuesto debe ser puesta a prueba en un total de metástasis ósea del cuerpo, en un modelo animal preclínicos, antes de la traducción clínica en seres humanos.
