"By using patient-derived cardiomyocytes, or heart cells, to isolate a disease process outside of the body, we are able to gain information about how that gene affects the heart, and how it may respond to treatments and therapies, without having to greatly impact the affected patient. We can mimic the disease process in vitro, reproduce and observe the cells, and also test them with different medications to see how they will actually respond in the heart."--Drs. Craig January, professors of medicine at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health.

"This is excellent news for the European cell therapy industry. XCell had failed to demonstrate its treatments were either safe and effective or had scientific rationale."--Professor Chris Mason, chair of regenerative medicine at University College London.  W) G0 y. C! q. M! [

  N+ ^1 N3 w# O) Y0 t# v“There are encouraging data from laboratory and clinical studies to suggest that the use of adult stem cells is a very promising field, but as our comprehensive review of the current scientific literature shows, the data available today do not substantiate the marketing claims being made to patients seeking aesthetic surgery and aesthetic medical treatments.”--J. Peter Rubin, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh.

"When each human hair follicle wants to regenerate, it can only count on itself; it's not getting help from other follicles. But when a rabbit hair follicle regenerates, it can count on two inputs: its own activation, and the activation signal from its neighbors. Rabbits have a very active hair growth, and that is essential for their survival in the wild."--Cheng-Ming Chuong, professor of pathology at the Keck School." O/ N" q/ {: R2 A- w

“Kajstura et al report no evidence that the observed respiratory units integrate sufficiently with the host vasculature or airways to support perfusion or ventilation. There are reasons to anticipate such connections will develop, but can these stem cells efficiently assemble into a permanent, fully functional unit?”--Harold Chapman, M.D., of the division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (USCF) School of Medicine.
