Unleash the power of adult stem cells

Emerging as a leader in raising funds for adult stem cell research, Cell Therapy Foundation strives to increase awareness about adult stem cells, to fund disease-specific adult stem cell research, and to accelerate the rate of clinical trials. Help Cell Therapy Foundation fast-forward adult stem cell research to find cures for devastating diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, diabetes, stroke and other neurodegenerative disorders by making a donation today.

Adult stem cells are within each of us
We all have them. Adult stem cells exist within every human body and hold the untapped potential to rescue tissues and organs that have been injured by disease. These cells can be collected from excess fat, bone marrow, hair follicles, dental pulp, skeletal muscle and other sources. Cord blood provides yet another source of adult stem cells; these cells have been successfully used to treat many conditions. Scientists are perfecting the ability to prepare donated stem cells to be injected into patients to repair damaged and diseased tissue.

Proven success 
It’s already working. Research from adult stem cells has already produced successful therapies for certain cancers. The clinical applications of adult stem cells are years ahead of embryonic stem cell research; however, the true healing power of adult stem cells has yet to be fully realized because of insufficient funding.

New Web-based network to accelerate research 
We’re pushing the research forward. To accelerate the communication among scientists, the rate of progress of active clinical trials and the rate of patients’ enrollment into clinical trials; we’ve created the new Web-based Adult Stem Cell Research (ASCR) Network. The www.ascrnetwork.org is a resource for patients to find clinical trials and review the latest news articles on adult stem cell research. It also promotes global collaboration among the leading adult stem cell laboratories which include sites in Brazil, France, the Netherlands, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden and the USA.

Together we can achieve more
We need your help. Funding for adult stem cell research is disproportionally low because the need to support this research is overshadowed by the embryonic stem cell debate. With your support, we can unleash the healing power of these amazing cells  and provide hope for the future treatment of such debilitating diseases as cancer, heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, diabetes, stroke, neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, and numerous others.

Success Stories

“I hope that someday when I see an older person having trouble with their leg(s), faced with the same problem I had, they have this revolutionary therapy available for them because of the chance I took as a clinical trial patient.”
