Efficacy of Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke Demonstrated in Landmark Study using Vitro Biopharma Stem Cells & Media
ACCESSWIRE - 2 hrs 36 mins ago
Golden, CO / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2014 / Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. (OTCQB: VODG), dba Vitro Biopharma announced the publication of a research study using its stem cells to treat an animal model of stroke. University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria (UICOMP) researchers, led by Dr. Krishna Kumar Veeravalli recently published a study showing a prominent reduction in brain damage by treatment of an animal model of ischemic stroke with human MSCs obtained from Vitro Biopharma through its distributor Neuromics, Inc. The study focused on several measures of brain damage by apoptosis, or programmed cell death that resulted from occlusion of the rat carotid artery, an animal stroke model. Death of brain cells leads to paralysis, loss of function, cognitive impairment, and other effects following a stroke. Hence, reversal of cell death can reverse several adverse neurological effects of stroke. Following the intravenous injection of 250,000 or 1,000,000 Vitro Biopharma's human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs, there was a dramatic and statistically significant reduction of cellular apoptosis compared to untreated groups. The endpoints included DNA damage and expression levels of numerous genes known to be associated with apoptosis. (Neurochem Res 39: 1511-1521, 2014).

Vitro Biopharma Products Advance Pancreatic Cancer Research
ACCESSWIRE - Tue Mar 11, 9:08AM CDT
Golden, Colorado / ACCESSWIRE / March 11, 2014 / Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. (OTCQB: VODG), dba Vitro Biopharma, announced that some of its products are being utilized in advancing pancreatic cancer research including development of new diagnostic tests and new therapeutic approaches. Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most deadly and least survivable cancers; it is asymptomatic until quite advanced and is resistant to conventional therapies. It has recently become apparent that cancer tumor cells are closely associated with other cells called cancer associated fibroblasts or CAFs. These cells promote the malignant process and block immune surveillance. CAFs are thus new drug targets for pancreatic and other cancer therapies. Vitro Biopharma products were used in recent research regarding pancreatic stellate cells, a CAF that is gaining considerable interest for new treatment options through advanced understanding of cancer biology.
