Unleash the power of adult stem cells

Never before has there been such an incredible rate of progress in science and medicine with the promise to improve health. Adult stem cells have the potential to rescue tissues and organs that have been injured from disease. But, this life-giving and life-enhancing gift from our own bodies is being needlessly delayed. Minimal education efforts and public policy debates focused upon embryonic stem cells has led many to assume that all stem cell research is limited to the ethically troubling use of stem cells from embryos. To unleash the healing power of adult stem cell treatments, we’ve created the Cell Therapy Foundation with a three-fold mission to:  foster healthy public awareness, increase research funding and improve collaboration among leading adult stem cell researchers.

 
The Adult Stem Cell Research Network
Monday, 30 June 2008 15:54
The Adult Stem Cell Research (ASCR) Network is an Internet-based project of The Cell Therapy Foundation designed to be a well-maintained and reliable source of information for the public regarding adult stem cell research, as well as to be a community of practice and collaboration among fellow researchers. The ASCR Network publishes the latest scientific news in the adult stem cell arena, identifies the leading researchers in the field, and locates key clinical trials; as well as connects the global community of adult stem cell researchers with one another. Since its launch in the winter of 2007, over 100 news articles have been published giving valuable insight into the ever expanding world of adult stem cell research. The ASCR Network also has extensive information on 24 labs doing research on adult stem cells. In the near future, the network will host a comprehensive list of ongoing clinical trials where the general public can search for a clinical trial by area or ailment allowing the public to more easily find hope for possible relief from their ailment and researchers to more easily complete their trials. The faster researchers are able to complete their investigations, the more swiftly cures for diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer's will be discovered.

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.”
