The Stem Cell Charter is an appeal launched in September, regarding the support for stem cell research. It is an interactive document that seeks concern for humanity with reference to stem cell science. It was created and written by, Bartha Maria Knoppers of McGill University, with a team of stem cell scientists, patients, ethicists and ...
Prochymal is a stem cell therapy made by Osiris Therapeutics. It is the first stem cell therapy approved by Canada. It is also the first therapy approved by Canada for acute graft-vs-host disease (GvHD). [1] Also known as remestemcel-L, Prochymal was sold to Australia-based Mesoblast in 2013 [2] at which time its brand name was changed to Ryoncil.
Stem-cell therapy uses stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition. [1] As of 2024, the only FDA-approved therapy using stem cells is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [2] [3] This usually takes the form of a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, but the cells can also be derived from umbilical cord blood.
This is a list of countries by stem cell research trials for the purpose of commercializing treatments as of June 2020, using data from ClinicalTrials.gov. [ 1 ] Rank
Examples include the injection of stem cells or progenitor cells obtained through directed differentiation (cell therapies); the induction of regeneration by biologically active molecules administered alone or as a secretion by infused cells (immunomodulation therapy); and transplantation of in vitro grown organs and tissues (tissue engineering).
For over 50 years, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been used to treat people with conditions such as leukaemia and lymphoma; this is the only widely practiced form of stem-cell therapy. [94] [95] [97] As of 2016, the only established therapy using stem cells is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [98]
