SCIENCE: FIRST STEM CELL BANK FOR PRIVATES OPENS IN ZAGREB (ANSAmed) – ZAGREB, MARCH 11 – The first stem cell for personal use in Croatia was opened at the Institute for Blood Transfusion at the Zagreb Hospital and Clinical Centre. The new stem cell bank, as South-Eastern Europe Times online reports, will allow parents to store stem cells from the umbilical cords of their newborns for 2,000 euro. The cells will be stored for years and, if necessary, can later be used to treat certain types of disease. (ANSAmed). 2008-03-11 17:21

In ALL ARTICLES, STEM CELLS IN THE NEWS on March 31, 2009 at 7:03 pmHEALTH: GREECE’S 2ND STEM CELL BANK TO OPEN IN THESSALONIKI (ANSAmed) – ATHENS, APRIL 23 – A public research stem cell bank will be founded at Thessalonikìs Papageorgiou Hospital. The announcement was made today by Greek deputy Health Minister Athansios Yannopoulos who was speaking at the 22nd Medical Congress in Northern Greece. According to the deputy health minister, a special committee will outline the specifications that are necessary for a stem cell bank to operate, for which relative legislation will be based. The Athens Academy stem cell bank is the only such bank currently in operation in Greece. Stem cells are primal cells common to all multi-cellular organisms that retain the ability to renew themselves through cell division and can differentiate into a wide range of specialized cell types. The stem cells can be taken only in the case of in vitro fertilization and clinical tests made so far were aimed at treating people with cancer. (ANSAmed). 2007-04-23 16:44

Please help me help this family that is getting the run around from the government. Help this family out and sign the petition and PLEASE pass it around! The more signatures the better!
Thanks all!
Delanie Ceretti has autism. So does her twin sister, Mackenzie. As of December 30, 2008, Delanie, who is just 5-years-old, will lose her funding for her IBI therapy. WHY? The Government needs to cut back on IBI funding. They are willing to write this child off at AGE 5, while her sister will continue to benefit from therapy. We have seen first hand that she has so much potential. We cannot let this happen. Please support our fight to help Delanie keep her funding.

By combining myoblasts and microcarriers in a bioreactor, researchers can greatly increase the number of stem cells. They can then easily separate them from the myoblasts.
The first three micrographs in this gallery show cells called myoblasts (a type of muscle cell) attached to spherical microcarriers. The microcarriers allow for the growth of the stem cells (shown in green), which, in this case, have been isolated from skeletal muscle. Photo: Douglas Cowan, Children’s Hospital Boston.

Doug Cowan, PhD, is interested in understanding the molecular and cellular biology of the cardiovascular system. He is especially interested in using engineered tissue and stem cells to improve heart function.
This gallery of micrographs (photographs taken through a microscope) gives a sampling of the work taking place in Dr. Cowan’s laboratory.
