BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics validates NurOwn Cryopreservation
Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc., a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, announced that it has validated its cryopreservation process for NurOwn in preparation for the upcoming phase 3 clinical study in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The validation involved a comparison of NurOwn (MSC-NTF cells) derived from fresh mesenchyme stem cells (MSC) to those derived from cryopreserved MSC. Company scientists were successful in showing that the MSC can be stored in the vapour phase of liquid nitrogen for prolonged periods of time while maintaining their characteristics.
NEI scientists identify stem cell secretions may protect against glaucoma
A new study in rats shows that stem cell secretions, called exosomes, appear to protect cells in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye. The findings, published in Stem Cells Translational Medicine, point to potential therapies for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness in the United States. The study was conducted by researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
