"Often, the cell count in cord blood is not high enough. The result is a partial cure. Bone marrow stem cells, on the other hand, often lead to a Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) which is triggered by the body's defence mechanism while the transfusion is being done. Taken together, the two therapies can complement each other and lead to a complete cure."--Ashish Mukhopadhyay, director of Netaji Subhas Cancer Research Institute. P- N# C, y6 @ S# X
. V+ K9 B5 B- V! E4 T"An older patient has less stem cells, so I will use hormones to bring up the number and quality of stem cells so that the success rate is the same as it would be for a 40-year-old. My specialty with hormones combined with the stem cell therapy is really a perfect match."--Dr. Edmund Chein, Founder of Autologous Stem Cell Therapy Institute in Palm Springs.7 O5 b3 V/ ]3 e9 g* }4 q

“We were pleasantly surprised to learn the process of correcting and prolonged culturing did not increase the genetic burden. These findings are applicable to a wide variety of inherited diseases … anywhere the genetic defect is known.”--Morgridge Institute for Research scientist Sara Howden.8 @! G) G" L3 Y

"This piece of research contributes to the ongoing efforts to harness stem cell research to benefit patients with a number of eye diseases. We welcome these efforts particularly where they move from early laboratory research in mice to trials in humans that are an essential part of developing safe and effective treatments."--Barbara McLaughlan of the RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People) charity.; E5 }, Q. p# n9 C9 v

"In terms of regenerative medicine, we have to go beyond mouse cells. We have to make human retinal tissue from human embryonic stem cells and investigation is under way."--Yoshiki Sasai, who led the study at the RIKEN Centre for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan.

"I think it really represents a significant step forward. Previous studies have shown that it's possible to differentiate [embryonic stem] cells into distinct types of retinal cells, but what we're seeing in this study is the potential of these cells to organize themselves into tissue of the retina."--Jane Sowden, a developmental biologist at University College London.* m' g$ s( |9 u5 K+ w3 G& O4 b$ S

“Science moves forward through publications in outstanding, peer-reviewed journals. This new journal will provide a venue for studies that move stem cell research closer toward clinical trials. In addition to publishing new discoveries that help all scientists in their goals the journal will also take the unusual step of publishing studies considered “negative,” with results that did not back up the original hypothesis or that did not show a new path to therapies, which will save other scientists the time of carrying out those experiments.”-- Dr. Alan Trounson, CIRM President.
