Isolation of c-Kit+ human amniotic fluid stem cells from second trimester
No full textAmniotic fluid-derived stem (AFS) cells have been described as an appealing source of stem cells because of their (1) fetal, non-embryonic origin, (2) easy access during pregnancy overcoming the ethical issues related both to the use of human embryonic cells and to the postnatal tissue biopsy with donor site mor- bidity, and (3) their undemanding ability to be expanded. We and others have demonstrated the broad differentiation potential and here we describe the established protocol we developed to obtain c-Kit+ human AFS cells, starting from second trimester amniocentesis samples

Letter from Anthony Brummelkamp to Mrs. G. Groen van Prinsterer
No full textIn a letter to Mrs. G. Groen van Prinsterer from Rev. Anthony Brummelkamp, the author is clearing up some statements of Rev. Budding and chiding Rev. Hendrik Scholte for having an arrogant and sharp tone. A foonote to the letter mentions the school operated by Rev. Brummelkamp and Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte in Arnhem.https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1840s/1193/thumbnail.jp
Adipose tissue-derived stem cell biology and therapy
No full textCoronary (CAD) and peripheral (PAD) artery diseases are major causes of morbidity and mortality, and millions of CAD and PAD patients are treated by various medications, bypass surgery or angioplasty around the world. These patients could benefit from therapies that would accelerate natural processes of postnatal collateral vessel formation, an approach referred to as therapeutic angiogenesis. The adipose tissue stromal cells (ADSCs) derived from the visceral and subcutaneous human adipose tissue have been recently shown to participate in blood vessel formation by paracrine activities and differentiation into mature endothelial cells. The similarities between stem cells extracted from the bone marrow and the adipose tissue suggest the potential for the adipose tissue to act as an alternative, and perhaps preferable, cell source for repairing damaged tissues, such as the ischemic or infarcted heart. This stem cell source would overcome the disadvantages represented by the relatively low abundance, small tissue volume, difficult accessibility, and disease-related malfunction of bone marrow-derived stem cells that hamper their clinical usefulness. This chapter will discuss molecular and functional characterization, and results obtained so far, using ADSCs in tissue repair, with a particular focus on the role for ADSCs in the regeneration of ischemic tissues

Anthony Grooms, 21st Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textAnthony Grooms is the author of Ice Poems (Poetry Atlanta Press) and Trouble No More: Stories (LaQuesta Press). Shorter works have appeared in Callaloo, African American Review, and other journals. He has received awards from the City of Atlanta, the State of Georgia, Breadloaf Writers Workshop and the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1996, Trouble No More won the Lillian Smith Award from the Southern Regional Council. Novelist Marita Golden noted that “Grooms writes about the South, civil rights, home folks, black and white people and anything he wants to with more love, humor and finely-honed skill than I have seen in a long time.” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said, “Groom’s stories take us to the center of the phenomenon (civil rights movement) with an honesty and courage long overdue.” Grooms is an Associate Professor of Creative Writing at Kennesaw State University in Georgia
Opportunities and challenges of translational 3D bioprinting
No full text3D-printed orthopaedic devices and surgical tools, printed maxillofacial implants and other printed acellular devices have been used in patients. By contrast, bioprinted living cellular constructs face considerable translational challenges. In this Perspective, we first summarize the most recent developments in 3D bioprinting for clinical applications, with a focus on how 3D-printed cartilage, bone and skin can be designed for individual patients and fabricated using the patient’s own cells. We then discuss key translational considerations, such as the need to ensure close integration of the living device with the patient’s vascular network, the development of biocompatible bioinks and the challenges in deriving a physiologically relevant number of cells. Lastly, we outline untested regulatory pathways, as well as logistical challenges in material sourcing, manufacturing, standardization and transportation
