“It is premature to extrapolate on what the outcome may be, and until the results of multiple patients have been released, we must wait to understand the impact that this may have. It will be interesting to see if there is a positive outcome in these initial spinal cord injury trials and where FDA approval for ongoing trials will go next. There is a vast array of multiple life threatening illnesses that may potentially benefit from stem cell therapy trials.”--Dr. Dennis Lox, a Tampa Bay-area physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist.

They act like normal stem cells should...Once we get it to the clinic, we’ll be able to put them on immediately in the surgical suite onto the patient and be able to start the skin regeneration process.”--Robert Christy, a research physiologist at the Institute of Surgical Research at Brooke Army Medical Center.4 [0 h5 ]$ C0 |+ f: M; _& g

“If we could just understand these final stages [of beta cell maturation], then maybe we could have it happen in vitro. This has practical implications because if we’re going to have cell manufacturing facilities, we can envision an industrial plant that would be able to characterize these cells with flow cytometry or other techniques. You could make sure you have a mature cell, screen for teratomas and be able to create a stable and safe product.”--Gordon C. Weir, MD, senior investigator at Joslin Diabetes Center and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

“In some circumstances, stimulating the body’s own stem cells at the right time might end up being simpler than growing cells in the laboratory and getting them back into the organ...We might be able to stimulate the patient’s own stem cells with chemicals or drugs that are more like traditional drugs.”--Harvard Medical School Professor Richard T. Lee.

"We understand that when you have a serious reduction of blood, the spleen is turned on to complement the bone marrow in replenishing your blood provide. We may well obtain the spleen kicks in to assist with several far more biological emergencies. What may be deemed a virtually unneeded organ may well really offer essential therapeutic cells." --Faustman, an affiliate professor of medication at Harvard health college.
