And affected by this deadly disease, a degenerative neurological disease known as Lou Gehrig 's may be the future of stem cell bank.
This new study by S hopes' to promote the billionaire tycoon Alfred Taubman Centers Pontiac and local funding.
This week, Taubman announced a partnership with the neurologist at the University of Michigan, Dr. Eva Feldman, A Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute of Medical Director of the University of Macau, Israel, Hadassah, Dr. Benjamin Reubinoff new cooperation Medical Center.
Taubman friends, long-term U.S. Senator Jacob Javits of New York, died of the disease.
Taubman said in his interest to help fund research for ALS, is not part of the observation, pharmaceutical companies seem to worry too much. ALS kills its victims quickly affect relatively few people. About 5,600 new cases are diagnosed each year after the Association of ALS.
In 2007, Mr. Taubman has made $ 22 million to the University of Michigan Health System and the institutions of the same name. Taubman help scientists are seeking treatment and to investigate the treatment of ALS and cancer in adults and children using different types of human stem cells.
The plan
Although scientists are planning is complex, it'll just work, "said Feldman:
Reubinoff organize these genes in adult stem cells in the Hadassah Medical Center Jerusalem as human embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have the ability to transform any cell in the body and the permanent division of being, while adult stem cells have a particular function, you can not divide t always.
The researchers hope to work for the development without the use of human tissue in vitro tests subject to the causes and treatment of ALS, further research is authorized to use.
In addition, Feldman is the first study of human control, the injection of stem cells in the gill cells of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the disease to stop the destruction of nerve cells. The study was conducted in the laboratory as advisor to the company is a sponsor of the study neuromuscular consultant Neuralstem Feldman held at Emory University in Atlanta.
"But for these patients, other stem cells, immune suppression necessary," he said.
The survey program may ç»´è´¹å°"德曼 Christine. It's good for patients, the bank said in its own recycling stem cell therapy.
Feldman study appears promising, to date, said Taubman.
"We have confirmed, and the progress of ALS have peole, he said. Feel better, move the first time in a year or two."
Taubman and two financing to U.S. Israel Science Foundation for a new partnership.
"I'm very proud," said Taubman, University of Macau was established in 1950, before what will the upscale boutiques has been the most successful in history. They are very creative and work hard to try to cure these diseases smart people, I am proud of the same information, this approach to school at the University of Michigan. "
Taubman Gift in Australia has reached $ 80,000,000.
Taubman, Forbes estimated the value 20000000000 $, declined to say how much cooperation, promotion gift, announced this week by e-mail.
