International Stem Cell Collaboration Results In Discovery Of Promising New Stem Cell Type
DaVinci Biosciences LLC in collaboration with University of Utah, Southern California Center for Regenerative Medicine and Omni Hospital in Ecuador, announce the discovery of a previously unidentified stem cell population from adult human testis in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (BBRC), an international peer-reviewed journal focused on the rapid dissemination of timely and significant experimental results in diverse fields of biological research. Termed gonadal stem cells (GSCs) these adult derived stem cells, unlike previous reported population of stem cells found within the testis, have been found to demonstrate adult stem cell properties. Published in the current journal of Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, the data from this collaborative study describes a multipotent adult stem cell population that has the capacity to readily differentiate into multiple cell types. The study evolved from an international collaboration aimed at identifying novel cell populations at different geographical laboratory locations and for different HLA types.

Baucus: 'Effectiveness' Part Of Health-Care Bill, Could Reduce Health Costs
"Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., said Tuesday he expects Senate health-care legislation will include provisions encouraging doctors to compare drugs and therapies for their effectiveness," Dow Jones Newswires reports. At a conference at the Brookings Institution, "Baucus said he plans to re-introduce legislation with Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., that further boosts" comparative effectiveness research. The research, which "saw $1.1 billion from the federal stimulus package earlier this year," lets "doctors and patients to utilize publicly-available information on medical treatments, has emerged as something of a political lightning rod this year. Some conservative Republicans are suggesting it would result in rationing of health care." But Baucus "sought to dispel that notion Tuesday, saying that the research would not be used solely to cut costs" (Yoest, 6/9).

Complications Of Longstanding Type 1 Diabetes Halved By Intensive Glucose Control
Near-normal control of glucose beginning as soon as possible after diagnosis would greatly improve the long-term prognosis of type 1 diabetes, concludes a study published in the July 27, 2009, issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, which updates information about the clinical course of type 1 diabetes. The study also found that the outlook for people with longstanding type 1 diabetes has greatly improved in the past 20 years due to a better understanding of the importance of intensive glucose control as well as advances in insulin formulations, insulin delivery, glucose monitoring, and the treatment of cardiovascular risk factors.

Alarming Rise In Deadly Skin Cancer Cases, UK

There has been an alarming rise in new cases of the deadliest form of skin cancer in the UK, with binge tanning cited as a main reason, said a leading cancer charity. The number of UK people diagnosed with malignant melanoma, the potentially fatal type of skin cancer. has gone over the 10,000 barrier to reach an all time high of 10,400 according to figures released earlier today by Cancer Research UK. Experts are concerned about the dramatic rise in the numbers in recent decades and believe that binge tanning, either at home or abroad, when people take advantage of sunseeking package holidays, is the main reason. Cancer Research UK"s director of health information, Sara Hiom, told the press the figures are very worrying. "With the rates of malignant melanoma in the UK rising faster than any other cancer it"s more important than ever that people are aware of the dangers of getting burnt, either in the sun or from using sunbeds," she said. Scientists from Cancer Research UK said they expect the numbers to be over 15,500 by the year 2024, which would make malignant melanoma the fourth biggest cancer killer for men and women of all ages. Measured in terms of numbers of cases per 100,000 of the population, the rates of malignant melanoma in the UK have gone up three-fold since the 1970s, from 3.4 per 100,000 in 1977 to 14.7 per 100,000 in 2006. Women appear to be diagnosed more often than men: in the UK 5,600 cases are diagnosed in women compared to 4,800 in men. However, the rates in men have gone up five-fold whereas in women they have tripled, and also men are more likely to die from it than women. Hiom explained that most melanoma skin cancers come from over-exposure to UV rays, either from being in the sun or from lying on a sunbed. "But, crucially, if people are careful not to redden or burn, especially if they have fair, freckly or moley skin then most cases of malignant melanoma could be prevented," she added. People can be safe in the sun if they stay in the shade during the middle part of the day, by covering themselves up with appropriate cool clothing, wearing sunglasses and using lots of sun cream with a minimum protection factor of 15, said Hiom. According to Cancer Research UK, you should go and see a doctor straight away if you have a mole that is: *Getting bigger. *Changing shape, particularly if the edge becomes irregular. *Changing colour*, particularly getting darker, patchy or multi-shaded. * Itching or painful. *Bleeding or becoming crusty. *Looking inflamed. *Moles that have 3 or more different shades of black or brown are most probably melanoma. Precancerous moles are very easy to treat and can usually be removed under local anaesthetic. Thus an early melanoma can usually be cured if caught early, so don"t leave it too long. For men the most common place for a melanoma is on the back, whereas for women it is on the legs. Cancer Research UK.
