Patent US7442394 - Combined effects of nutrients on proliferation of stem cells - Google Patents

No. 60/676,733 filed May 2, 2005 to Sanberg, et al., the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Stem cells are found in many organs of the adult human including bone marrow, peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, spleen, tooth pulp, and brain. These progenitor cells are being investigated for their potential use as transplanted tissues in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease. Little effort however is being directed toward enhancing the endogenous stem cells in the adult as an avenue to promote healing. In many of these diseases, and in aging, stem cells and progenitors are known to have a reduced proliferative activity. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have been investigated for many years for their utility in cancer treatments.

The potential to heal once incurable degenerative diseases such as cancer or heart disease by regenerating cells that have failed or are about to fail is now within our grasp, thanks to the emergence of an exciting new field of medicine: regenerative medicine using adult stem cells.

Adult Stem Cells: New Hope for Curing Degenerative Diseases

Indeed, tissues such as heart muscle that were long thought to be non-renewable have now been shown to be regenerated through this novel therapy. By using adult stem cells, scientists have avoided the controversy that has stymied advanced embryonic stem cell research in the past. Adult stem cell therapy offers an unprecedented step forward in the history of medicine and the applications of this new form of regenerative medicine are potentially unlimited. Embryonic versus Adult Stem Cells Considerable confusion surrounds the use of stem cells, not only with the general public, but indeed with scientists and physicians.

Phytomedicine - Total flavonoids of Herba Epimedii improves osteogenesis and inhibits osteoclastogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cells.

Introduction In China Herba Epimedii is one of the most common herbs that could be prescribed for treating osteoporosis.

Phytomedicine - Total flavonoids of Herba Epimedii improves osteogenesis and inhibits osteoclastogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cells

It is known to increase the overall mineral content, therefore, to promote bone formation and to increase lumbar bone mineral density (BMD). The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of flavonoids of Herba Epimedii (HEF) on osteogenesis in human MSCs. Methods The human bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) were isolated and their osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by their alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities and level of mineralization. Results The total time needed for osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs was significantly shortened by adding HEF. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that the HEF could improve osteogenic differentiation and inhibit the osteoclast differentiation of BM-MSCs concurrently.
