Consistent Human Neurons

ArunA Biomedical, Inc. announces alliance with Neuromics for distribution of normal human neural cells.

Isolating and Maintaining Embryonic Stem Cells

I have featured Steve Stice and his team at ArunA Biomedical and UGA. They are pioneers in developing Embryonic Stem Cell Based Cultures and Assays for Drug Discovery and Basic Research. Given the importance of their work, I am commited to keeping my finger on the pulse of their advances and discoveries.
Here they isolate, and maintain in [...]

Stem Cell Research Guidelines Sidebar

As a growing provider of Stem Cell Research Reagents, I am in search of information that cuts through the confusion. My goal is to publish postings that could be of value to my customers and researchers.
On September 5th, Updated Guidelines for Stem Cell Research was released by the National Academies.
One reason for the 2008 modifications is [...]

Umbilical-Cord Matrix Stem Cells and Cerebral Ischemia

I am winding down on the stem cell story for now as later in the month I will be featuring my good friends at University of Sherbrooke and their research in the area of chronic pain.
I did want to highlight yet another potential application for stem cells. For this, we send kudos to Dr. Yan Xu [...]

Steve Stice-The Professor Entrepreneur

Dr Steve Stice and Human Stem Cells
I am pleased and honored for the privilege of profiling Dr. Steve Stice.  He has a history of working in areas that are Biotechnology Headliners…from cloning to stem cells. Here I will be focusing on his current work with Human Stem Cells and Neural Progenitors  at ArunA Biomedical and [...]

Stem Cell News Update

Dr. Steve Stice is in the on deck circle. We will be featuring his work in developing neural stem cell based assays for use in drug discovery. These platforms have the potential to help more efficiently and accuratelyidentify targets for pain, neurodegeneration and other CNS and PNS related diseases.
As a back drop, we wanted to [...]

Human Embryonic Stem Cells-The Great Debate

The use of Human Embryonic Stem Cells in Research is a lightening rod. It is catalyzing a great debate that transcends science and instead challenges us to take positions based on morality and ethics.
My considerations are humble. They do not extend to the potential of manipulating pluripotent cells to grow transplantable human tissues and organs [...]

Spinal Cord Injury and Ependymal Cells

This research sheds light on the natural regeneration that occurs in the area of damaged spinal cord tissue. The surprise here is the role that Edendymal Progenitor Cells are playing in repair mechanism vs Neural Stem Progenitors. 
In this publication, researchers have employed genetic fate mapping to characterize a candidate neural stem cell population in the adult spinal cord [...]
