...stroke the side of her face with the back of my hand. And then, it was as if something had taken over my mind, and I was no longer in the driver’s seat. Every muscle inside my body wanted to roll over and kiss her. Every bone inside my body. Every cell in my body had the same idea. “The clouds are beautiful today, aren’t they?”“Yeah.”I began to rollover.“That one looks like some type of whale...
That's the strategy that Voltarelli's team tested. First, they carefully extracted a population of immune stem cells from the bone marrow of each diabetes patient. Then each person was treated with radiation, similar to the regimen that cancer patients receive, in order to destroy the immune system. Afterward, each patient received his own stem cells back by injection. The scientists traced blood levels of a protein, C-peptide, that beta cells produce, in order to confirm that whatever remaining beta cells the patient had were now able to grow again and repopulate the pancreas - and produce insulin. Sure...
...cells a chance to grow - at least ones that can produce insulin for about three years. Other researchers are pursuing intriguing new stem cell options, including stem cells that can be grown from a patient's own skin, which would eliminate the need for extracting immune stem cells from bone marrow. "Every door that we open leads to another door," says Burt. "All research is built by sitting on the shoulders of other studies. This trial is something that will contribute to and move the field of stem cell therapy forward." It is, as Burt says, a start...
...Harvard School of Public Health study recently showed that obesity leads to a significantly greater risk of periodontal disease—a severe form of gum disease that causes bone destruction and periodontal tissue inflammation. “This is one of the first, if not the first, study demonstrating such a significant relationship in such a large group of people,” said Frank B. Hu, professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology at HSPH. The association found in this study can be of “substantial public health importance,” said...
