The Adult Stem Cell Research (ASCR) Network is an Internet-based project of The Cell Therapy Foundation designed to be a well-maintained and reliable source of information for the public regarding adult stem cell research, as well as to be a community of practice and collaboration among fellow researchers. ASCR publishes the latest scientific news in the adult stem cell arena, identifies the leading researchers in the field, and locates key clinical trials; as well as connects the global community of adult stem cell researchers with one another.

Bioheart's MyoCell Recognized as one of the Breakthrough Developments of 2010 Print E-mail
SUNRISE, Fla., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Bioheart, Inc. - (OTC Bulletin Board: BHRT) The mission of the Cell Therapy Foundation is to improve public health through the support of effective adult stem cell research and education. The Foundation aims to promote basic and applied knowledge, processes and cell therapies. As part of this mission Cell Therapy Foundation provides updates concerning advances in adult stem cell research. A recent initiative tabulating clinical trials involving cell therapy identified Bioheart's MyoCell as one of only a few cell therapies that are presently in the Phase III stage of clinical trials in the United States. MyoCell has shown the ability to improve heart function in patients suffering from heart failure.

Court Action Halting Embryonic Stem Cell Research Highlights Need for Significant Adult Stem Cell Trials and Funding; Adult Stem Cell Treatment Studied in Trials Involving Patients with Heart Disease, Vascular Disorders, and Multiple Sclerosis

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Some of the most promising medical research conducted to treat diseases of the brain, heart, and circulatory system is moving too slowly to help millions of patients, according to the Cell Therapy Foundation, which advocates the use of adult stem cells to dramatically impact and improve the condition of patients who suffer from a variety of conditions.

A Cell Therapy Foundation analysis of current clinical trials points to a critical need: more federal, private, and philanthropic funding for adult stem cell clinical trials. Key gaps exist between breakthrough developments in basic research and translation to patients, revealing the essential need for funding in this area.

Bone marrow cells can help in heart failure: study Print E-mail
Aug 29, 2010

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Patients with chronic heart failure given injections of their own bone marrow stem cells have better heart function and live longer, German researchers said Sunday.

The beneficial effects of the cell therapy were seen within three months and continued for five years, according to findings from one of the biggest studies to date on using stem cell therapy to treat heart conditions.

For years, doctors have tried to use various forms of stem cells to treat damaged hearts, with varying results.

The latest findings are still not conclusive but lead researcher Bodo-Eckehard Strauer of Duesseldorf's Heinrich Heine University said the long-term benefits were encouraging.

Previous studies have suggested that cell therapy can be effective in patients who have suffered a heart attack. The new research indicates it could also play a role in patients with chronic heart failure.

Adult stem cells used to aid recovery after surgery Print E-mail
August 26, 2010

Eight years ago, the rotator cuff on Tom Novak's left shoulder tore.

After surgery to repair the injury and the biceps tendonitis that came with the tear, Novak underwent six months of physical therapy to regain proper motion.

Then this year, the same thing happened again - this time to his right shoulder.

"It was probably a combination of wear and tear and throwing around 50 pound bags," the 70-year-old Southport resident said, recalling the sharp, shooting pain that ripped though his arm one afternoon in June when he was working around the house.

"I realized something had gone wrong because I couldn't pick up the drill," he said. "I could not lift my hand higher than my waist."

But this time around after the surgery, Novak the recovery was noticeably different.
