     <title><![CDATA[Indiana Parkinson’s Foundation partnership with Cell Therapy Foundation]]></title>
     <description><![CDATA[<p>Indiana Parkinson Foundation was formed in 2009 by our family, which has been affected by Parkinson&rsquo;s Disease, in order to help find a cure and help people struggling with the disease. We began by doing fundraisers to raise money for research, and began searching the country for the appropriate recipient of our fundraising dollars. As a faith-based organization, we felt strongly that we did not want our donations to fund embryonic stem cell research. As we searched for appropriate and promising research projects, we were quickly led to an incredible organization, which happened to be right here in Indianapolis. We were excited to find that Cell Therapy Foundation would sponsor adult stem cell research that held promise for Parkinson&rsquo;s Disease.</p>]]></description>

Professor Bodo-Eckehard Strauer, from the Cardiology Department, University of Duesseldorf, Germany, said that, although stem cells from bone marrow had been used in several thousand patients as regenerative therapy, there were still many unresolved questions, notably the quantitative amount of improvement in ventricular function, and the long-term effects in chronic heart failure. Both these questions were addressed by the STAR-heart study.</p>]]></description>

<p>The transplantation of stem cells from a healthy donor (allogeneic) offers the chance of cure for patients with an aggressive form of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), irrespective of genetic prognostic factors and the prior course of the disease. The German CLL Study Group proved this in a multicentric clinical phase II study led by Professor Dr. Peter Dreger, senior consultant and head of the division of stem cell transplantation at the Department of Internal Medicine V at Heidelberg University Hospital. The results were published online in the prominent journal &quot;Blood&quot; at the beginning of July.</p>]]></description>

     <description><![CDATA[<p>Allogeneic (donor-derived) stem cell transplant (alloSCT) may be a promising option for patients with treatment-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), regardless of the patient's underlying genetic abnormalities, according to the results of a study published online today in Blood, the journal of the American Society of Hematology. About 15,000 new CLL cases were diagnosed in the United States in 2009 and about 4,000 deaths were documented (according to the American Cancer Society). While survival rates for leukemia have generally improved in the last decade, patients with rare, more aggressive forms of CLL do not respond well to standard chemotherapy-based and targeted treatments and often die within a few years of diagnosis.</p>]]></description>

     <description><![CDATA[<p>Cell reprogramming calls The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to mind.</p>
<p>It's a new technology that uses molecular therapy to coax adult cells to revert to an embryonic stem cell-like state, allowing scientists to later [IN1] re-differentiate these cells into specific types with the potential to treat heart attacks or diseases such as Parkinson's. But at this point in the technology's development, only one percent of cells are successfully being reprogrammed.</p>
<p>Now, for the first time, scientists at Tel Aviv University in collaboration with researchers at Harvard University have succeeded in tracking the progression of these cells through live imaging to learn more about how they are reprogrammed, and how the new cells evolve over time.</p>]]></description>
