Anatomy of Spinal Cord Blood Flow and Collateral Circulation - Video
Human embryonic stem cells have the capacity to differentiate into a variety of cell types, making them a valuable source of transplantable tissue for the treatment of numerous diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and diabetes.
But theres one major issue: Embryonic stem cells are often rejected by the human immune system.
Now, researchers from the University of California San Diego may have found an effective way to prevent this rejection in humans. Utilizing a novel humanized mouse model, the scientists have revealed a unique combination of immune suppressing molecules that stop the immune system from attacking the injected stem cells without shutting the system down completely.
This discovery could ultimately help resolve some of the major problems currently limiting the use of embryonic stem cells for certain conditions, paving the way for the development of more effective human stem cell therapies.
This is a generic way of immune suppression, so it could potentially be applied not just for stem cells therapies, but for organ transplants as well, Yang Xu, a professor of biology at UC San Diego and lead author of the study, told FoxNews.com. It can be very broad.
Embryonic stem cells are different from the other cells in a patients body, making them allogenic. This means the immune system will recognize them as foreign agents and attack them.
One way of overcoming this rejection problem is to give patients immunosuppressant drugs, which suppress the entire immune system. While short term use of immunosuppressants has been successful for many organ transplants, embryonic stem cell therapies for chronic diseases require long term use of these drugs which can often be very toxic and increase the risk of cancer.
In order for the patient to really use this therapy, they have to decide: Do they want a lifelong use of immunosuppressant drugs, or are they willing to live with the symptoms of their disease, Xu said.
To figure out a way of bypassing this issue, researchers needed a relevant model that could closely mimic the human immune systems response to embryonic stem cell transplantation. To do this, they took immune deficient lab mice and grafted them with human fetal thymus tissues and hematopoietic stem cells derived from the fetal liver.
Essentially, this created a highly specialized mouse model with very robust T cells capable of effectively rejecting foreign embryonic stem cells just like human T cells.

Stem cell therapy breakthrough
Poway, CA (PRWEB) January 02, 2014
Phizer is a seven year old black lab belonging to Ohio Task Force 1 that recently had stem cell therapy by Vet-Stem, Inc. Phizer was brought to Cleveland Road Animal Hospital for a limp in his right hind. Dr. Chad Bailey recommended stem cell therapy. Both Vet-Stem and Cleveland Road Animal Hospital value the working dog and offered their services pro-bono in hopes that Phizers stem cell therapy would permit him to continue to provide search and rescue service.
Phizer is one of only five search and rescue canines owned by Ohio Task Force 1, one of 28 Task Forces across the US that make up the FEMA Urban Search and Rescue System. Phizer is trained to find living victims who may be trapped under collapsed buildings. He is unique because he is certified to work with more than one handler meaning that he can be used on more missions. If one of his handlers is not available the other may be. Phizer is trained to cover obstacles and treacherous terrain, climb metal ladders and investigate acres of terrain quickly and efficiently. These skills came in handy when Phizer was assigned to a mission recovering victims from hurricane Sandy.
Handlers Maureen May and Deana Hudgins noticed an intermittent limp in Phizers right rear leg when he first started moving, but got better with exercise. Although the limp was not preventing Phizer from his job, he was started on pain medicine, joint supplements and taken for exams to the local veterinarian. His radiology report showed signs consistent with mild degenerative joint disease in addition to another injury. Deana and Dr. Bailey started Phizer on injectable treatments, laser therapy, and discussed stem cells.
Since Phizers stem cell therapy used his own stem cells, a small portion of fat was collected and sent to Vet-Stems lab in California. Within 48 hrs the doses of stem cells were ready for injection by Dr. Bailey. Stem cells are regenerative cells that can differentiate into many tissue types and reduce pain and inflammation thus helping to restore range of motion and regenerate tendon, ligament and joint tissues (http://www.vet-stem.com/science). For Phizer this means that all of the issues identified in his exams may be helped with one therapy.
About Vet-Stem, Inc. Vet-Stem, Inc. was formed in 2002 to bring regenerative medicine to the veterinary profession. The privately held company is working to develop therapies in veterinary medicine that apply regenerative technologies while utilizing the natural healing properties inherent in all animals. As the first company in the United States to provide an adipose-derived stem cell service to veterinarians for their patients, Vet-Stem, Inc. pioneered the use of regenerative stem cells in veterinary medicine. The company holds exclusive licenses to over 50 patents including world-wide veterinary rights for use of adipose derived stem cells. In the last decade over 10,000 animals have been treated using Vet-Stem, Inc.s services, and Vet-Stem is actively investigating stem cell therapy for immune-mediated and inflammatory disease, as well as organ disease and failure.

New Rochelle, NY, January 2, 2014Minority women tend to be less aware of the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) they face by being overweight or obese. The results of a study that compared Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women based on their knowledge of heart disease risk factors and their perceptions of their own weight is published in Journal of Women's Health, a peer-reviewed publication from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Journal of Women's Health website at http://www.liebertpub.com/jwh.
Elsa-Grace Giardina, MD and coauthors, Columbia University Medical Center (New York, NY), report that although awareness of CVD and recognition that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the U.S has increased, knowledge of these risk factors still remains low among minority women, making prevention efforts more difficult. The authors compared how women estimate their weight and view their risk of heart disease and present their findings in the article "Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge and Weight Perception Among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Women."
"Based on these findings, prevention strategies need to target CVD knowledge and awareness among overweight and obese Hispanic women," says Susan G. Kornstein, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Women's Health, Executive Director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Institute for Women's Health, Richmond, VA, and President of the Academy of Women's Health.

As if cancer, heart disease and other diseases were not enough motivation to make quitting smoking your New Year's resolution, here's another wake-up call: New research published in the January 2014 issue of The FASEB Journal suggests that smoking disrupts the circadian clock function in both the lungs and the brain. Translation: Smoking ruins productive sleep, leading to cognitive dysfunction, mood disorders, depression and anxiety.
"This study has found a common pathway whereby cigarette smoke impacts both pulmonary and neurophysiological function. Further, the results suggest the possible therapeutic value of targeting this pathway with compounds that could improve both lung and brain functions in smokers," said Irfan Rahman, Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the Department of Environmental Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, N.Y. "We envisage that our findings will be the basis for future developments in the treatment of those patients who are suffering with tobacco smoke-mediated injuries and diseases.
Rahman and colleagues found that tobacco smoke affects clock gene expression rhythms in the lung by producing parallel inflammation and depressed levels of brain locomotor activity. Short- and long- term smoking decreased a molecule known as SIRTUIN1 (SIRT1, an anti-aging molecule) and this reduction altered the level of the clock protein (BMAL1) in both lung and brain tissues in mice. A similar reduction was seen in lung tissue from human smokers and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They made this discovery using two groups of mice which were placed in smoking chambers for short-term and long-term tobacco inhalation. One of the groups was exposed to clean air only and the other was exposed to different numbers of cigarettes during the day. Researchers monitored their daily activity patterns and found that these mice were considerably less active following smoke exposure.
Scientists then used mice deficient in SIRT1 and found that tobacco smoke caused a dramatic decline in activity but this effect was attenuated in mice that over expressed this protein or were treated with a small pharmacological activator of the anti-aging protein. Further results suggest that the clock protein, BMAL1, was regulated by SIRT1, and the decrease in SIRT1 damaged BMAL1, resulting in a disturbance in the sleep cycle/molecular clock in mice and human smokers. However, this defect was restored by a small molecule activator of SIRT1.
"If you only stick to one New Year's resolution this year, make it quitting smoking," said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal. "Only Santa Claus has a list longer than that of the ailments caused or worsened by smoking. If you like having a good night's sleep, then that's just another reason to never smoke."

Comet C/2013 R1 Lovejoy starts the new year as the brightest comet in the sky at around magnitude 6. In this photo taken on Dec. 31, two tails are visible. The longer one is the ion or gas tail; the broader pale yellow fan is the dust tail. Credit: Damian Peach
As 2014 opens, most of the half dozen comets traversing the morning and evening sky are faint and require detailed charts and a good-sized telescope to see and appreciate. Except for Comet Lovejoy. This gift to beginner and amateur astronomers alike keeps on giving. But wait, theres more. Three additional binocular-bright comets will keep us busy starting this spring.
Track of Comet C/2013 R1 Lovejoy in the morning sky marked at 3-day intervals shortly before the start of dawn (6 a.m. local time) tomorrow through Jan. 31. Stars shown for Dec. 29 to magnitude 5.8. Her = Hercules and Oph = Ophiuchus. Click to enlarge. Created with Chris Marriotts SkyMap software
Still glowing around the naked eye limit at magnitude 6, the Lovejoy remains easy to see in binoculars from dark skies as it tracks from southern Hercules into Ophiuchus in the coming weeks.
The best time to view the comet is shortly before the start of dawn when it sails highest in the eastern sky at an altitude of around 30 degrees or three fists up from the horizon. By Januarys end, the comet will still be 25 degrees high in a dark sky. My last encounter with Lovejoy was a week ago when 1050 binoculars revealed a bright coma and 1.5 degree long tail to the northwest. Through the telescope the stark contrast between bright, compact nucleus and gauzy coma struck me as one of the most beautiful sights Id seen all month.
Path of Comet C/2012 K1 PANSTARRS this spring when it should be a nice comet for small to medium sized telescopes. Created with Chris Marriotts SkyMap software
Looking ahead to 2014 there are at present three comets beside Lovejoy that are expected to wax bright enough to see in binoculars and possibly with the naked eye:C/2012 K1 PanSTARRS,C/2013 V5 OukaimedenandC/2013 A1 Siding SpringThe first lurks in Hercules but come early April should bulk up to magnitude 9.5, bright enough to track in a small telescope for northern hemisphere observers. Watch K1 PANSTARRS amble from Bootes across the Big Dipper and down through Leo from mid-spring through late June hitting magnitude 7.5 before disappearing in the summer twilight glow. K1 will be your go-to comet during convenient viewing hours.
Come early September after K1 PANSTARRS leaves the suns ken, it reappears in the morning sky, traveling westward from Hydra into Puppis. Southern hemisphere observers are now favored, but northerners wont suffer too badly. The comet is expected to crest to magnitude 5.5 in mid-October just before it dips too far south for easy viewing at mid-northern latitudes.
Comet Oukaimeden may glow around 8th magnitude in late August 2014 when it rises with the winter stars before dawn. Stellarium.

January 1, 2014 - American Hockey League (AHL) Utica Comets The Utica Comets moved to 4-1-0-1 on their current homestand as they defeated the Lake Erie Monsters 3-2 in a matinee showdown at The AUD that kicked off the 2014 portion of the American Hockey League's schedule. The Comets, who have now earned points in six of their past seven games on home ice, moved to 25 points on the season, eight points out of eighth place in the Western Conference.
Pascal Pelletier, Colin Stuart and Darren Archibald each scored for the Comets, while Joe Cannata made 18 saves to earn his first victory on home ice this season, his third overall. Pelletier, Archibald and teammate Alex Biega all had multiple points on the afternoon.
Cannata and Lake Erie's Sami Aittokallio stole the show in the first period as both goaltenders posted a shutout. Cannata made eight stops to Aittokallio's seven as neither team could find the back of the net. Alex Friesen led all Utica skaters with two shots on net. Pelletier had the period's best scoring chance with a penalty shot at the 8:23 mark but his backhanded bid was denied by Aittokallio.
Pelletier put the Comets ahead 6:10 into the second period with his sixth goal of the season. After serving his minor penalty for roughing, Alex Biega hit the Comets leading scorer with a breakaway pass and the center slotted a wrist shot past Aittokallio on the glove side. Brandon DeFazio also picked up an assist on the play, his eighth helper of the season.
The Comets doubled their advantage with a power-play goal at the 15:34 mark as Colin Stuart put a slap shot from the point into the lower right corner of the Lake Erie net. Off of a feed from Pelletier, the captain buried his tenth goal of the season, becoming the second Comet, along with Benn Ferriero, to hit the double-digit mark. The goal marked now the tenth straight home game in which the Comets have scored with the man advantage.
Lake Erie drew one back just 2:13 into the third period as captain Bryan Lerg scored his twelfth of the season on a shot from the point. Lerg's goal, his team high twelfth of the season, came off of assists from defensemen Matt Hunwick and Brett Clark and cut the Utica lead to 2-1.
The Comets regained their two-goal advantage as Darren Archibald scored for the third straight game. The bruising winger put a sharp angle shot past Aittokallio from the right hand circle to put Utica ahead 3-1. Biega picked up his second assist of the afternoon to tie his career high in both assists and points. Pelletier added another assist to complete his second three-point game of the season.
Lake Erie once again was able to cut the deficit to one as Andrew Agozzino scored a power-play marker at the 11:18 mark of the third. The winger banged a loose puck in front past Cannata to bring the Monsters as close as they would get. Mark Olver and Lerg each picked up assists on the play to remain tied as the Lake Erie leaders with 15 on the season.
The Comets complete their seven game homestand with a home tilt against the Rochester Americans on Friday. The Americans will skate in their first game in North America since December 21st, due to their participation in the Spengler Cup in Switzerland. The Americans went 0-3 and were eliminated in the quarterfinals. Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. on Friday evening.

January 1, 2014 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Missouri Comets ROCHESTER, NY (January 1, 2014) - The Missouri Comets, Major Indoor Soccer League's scoring leaders, earned an exciting 19-17 victory over the Rochester Lancers on New Year's Day at Rochester's Blue Cross Arena. Vahid Assadpour led all scorers with three goals and two assists for eight points on the night. Rochester midfielder Gary Boughton had three goals of his own, including a three-point score in the second quarter, to lead the Lancers in a losing effort.
For the sixth time in seven games, the Comets opened the scoring for the game...and for the fourth time in seven games, Leo Gibson and Vahid Assadpour were involved in the score. As Gibson held the ball up in the corner, Assadpour ran past him and received a perfect heel pass which he easily converted for the score. The early lead wouldn't last as Rochester scored a three-point goal soon after. Lancers' defender Pedrinho crossed the ball from outside the arc to forward Mauricio Salles. Comets defender Robert Palmer dove to knock the ball away, but it deflected off his head and into the goal. Palmer redeemed himself late in the half with a three-point score of his own. He tracked down a rebound off the wall and hit a shot that found a clear lane into the goal.
In the second quarter Leo Gibson, John Sosa and Lucas Rodriguez scored for the Comets while Assadpour added his second score as Missouri outscored the Lancers 8-5 in the quarter. However, two goals in the half from Gary Boughton, a second score from Pedrinho and a three-point goal from Mauricio Salles kept the two sides even at 13 points each as they went into the halftime break.
For Rochester, they looked to keep up their high-scoring ways in the second half and opened up with two goals in the first three minutes of the third quarter. Boughton completed his hat trick less than a minute in and Bato opened up his Rochester account two minutes in.
Comets' veteran leaders Assadpour, Gibson and Harris calmed down their side at that point. Down 17-13, Missouri fought hard to maintain possession and look for scoring opportunities. Showing frustration, Lancers players Stephen Basso and Edgar Bartolomeu were sent to the penalty box within ten seconds of each other. The Comets only needed ten more seconds to convert the 5 on 3 advantage to get the Comets back to within a goal of the Lancers. Ramone Palmer found himself in the right place later in the third quarter and knocked home a rebound over Rochester goalkeeper, Gavin McInerny to tie the game at the break.
The Comets only scored once in the fourth quarter, but that was all they needed for the victory. Vahid Assadpour took the ball the length of the floor and put his shot between the legs of McInerny to complete his third hat trick of the season. The Comets then sought to control the ball the rest of the period, at one time holding possession for six straight minutes. Despite a mad rush to goal in the final seconds by the Lancers, the Comets held on for their fifth win of the season, 19-17.
The Comets have one more stop on this road trip, playing in Baltimore on Friday January 3rd at 6:35p.m. CT. The 2013 MISL Championship re-match against the Blast can be seen LIVE on the Comets website at CometsIndoorSoccer.com/Live-Feed. The team returns home on Sunday January 5th at 3:10p.m. CT for another match against the Rochester Lancers.

When They Last Met: The Utica Comets evened their shootout record to 1-1 this season, with a 3-2 victory over the Lake Erie Monsters in a Sunday afternoon game at The AUD. Kellan Lain and Nicklas Jensen each scored for the Comets, while Alexandre Grenier ended the game in the fourth round of the shootout, after Jensen's game winner. Jensen and Pascal Pelletier also scored in the shootout, while Joacim Eriksson won his second straight start with 26 saves on 28 shots.
Comets Outlook: Henrik Tommernes scored with 1:07 to send the Comets into overtime but Hamilton was victorious in the shootout by a 4-3 margin. Darren Archibald and Alexandre Grenier also scored for the Comets and Joe Cannata made 37 saves on 40 shots as he earned the game's third star. Defenseman Nathan Beaulieu scored the game winner for the Bulldogs in the shootout in the sixth round. Nicklas Jensen and Grenier each scored for the Comets.
Monsters Outlook: Michael Schumacher scored three points (1-2-3) and Mark Olver potted the game winning goal with 2:12 left in overtime to lead Lake Erie to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Wolves last Saturday evening. J.T. Wyman, Trevor Cheek and Andrew Agozzino each scored for the Monsters and netminder Calvin Pickard recorded 35 saves for his eighth victory of the season.
Just In The Nick of Tomm: Henrik Tommernes made his return from injury in a big way with the game tying goal with just 1:04 left in regulation. Tommernes, who also had an assist in the game on Alexandre Grenier's goal, put a Benn Ferriero feed past Dustin Tokarski to complete the first third period comeback in franchise history.
O' My Darling Cal-entine: With assists in both games, Cal O'Reilly continued his dominance in the Mohawk Valley with points in eight straight home games. O'Reilly, who has amassed nine points (1-8-9) over his current streak, has scored in 11 of his 15 games played this season.
The Whole Nine Yards: Aided by their current nine game streak of scoring at least one power-play goal on home ice, the Comets have moved into a tie for sixth in the AHL on the power play, at a 20.5 percent conversion rate this season. The Comets are also one of just two teams in the league, along with Oklahoma City, who has yet to allow a shorthanded goal this season.
