The Second Huge Stem Cell Breakthrough in a Week

The Second Huge Stem Cell Breakthrough in a Week

Patrick Cox
Patrick Cox
This has been a singularly historic week in the annals of regenerative medicine. First, BioTime (BTIM:AMEX) CEO Dr. Michael West published proof that he can turn any adult cell into a completely rejuvenated stem cell. These induced pluripotent stem cells are as powerful as embryonic stem cells, but with none of the disadvantages. Then, in the same week, equally historic news came from International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO:OTCBB) about its parthenogenic stem cells.

I'll explain the ISCO developments in some detail. A reader, by the way, recently suggested that I write the Stem Cells for Dummies book for those who are confused by this complex field. While this is not a book, it should help those of you who really want to understand the state of this critical science.

As a primer, it's vital that you're up to speed on the four different types of stem cells (SCs):

Adult Autologous SCs - SCs taken from donor bone marrow and fat tissue, cultured and re-administered to the donor for therapeutic purposes. These solve the immune and ethical problem but do not compare in power to the other three types, nor are they "young," meaning maximum telomere length.

Embryonic SCs - These cells are taken from embryos and are therefore ethically objectionable to many people. They have efficacy and they are young but they provoke an immune response.

Induced Pluripotent SCs - These are SCs that are created by genetically engineering normal adult cells to revert to SC status. They have efficacy and they solve the immune problem because they are the donor's own cells. Last week, BioTime proved that they can also be made "young."

Parthenogenic SC - These SCs come from unfertilized oocytes, the cells that, if allowed to develop, would become ovum. They are, by definition, young. They have no ethical problems because they are not embryonic. They solve the immune problem through the creation of ISCO's HLA typed cell bank. Last week, ISCO also announced evidence that they have efficacy.

Once you've got those covered it's equally important to take a look at what each treatment is capable of...

The Stem Cell Sheet

The above chart, and corresponding announcements are simply fantastic news - notably for iPS and hPS. I updated you on BioTime's breakthrough regarding iPS last week in a special alert - but soon after BioTime's announcement there was another huge happening.

Today I want to catch you up on this important news...

Unlike BioTime's breakthrough, which was covered by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and other big media, ISCO's breakthrough announcement was, basically, ignored. The reasons are twofold.

First, ISCO may be the most insouciant, understated biotech in business today. Some companies are quick to trumpet their accomplishments. ISCO, on the other hand, is incredibly and systematically low-key in its public statements. Company announcements are often cautious to the point of secretiveness. I'm convinced that the company's stock price would be much higher now if this were not the case.

Secondly, I admit the significance of last week's announcement is particularly well obscured. Therefore, let me read between the lines of this press release.

On the surface, the press release is about the beginning of ISCO's "Second Pre-Clinical Phase of Testing Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) Derived From Human Parthenogenetic Stem Cells for Treatment of Retinal Diseases." So why is this a big deal?

It is a big deal because of one sentence in the press release. "Encouraging data from animal models have shown that visual degradation caused by AMD can be slowed through the transplantation of RPE."

In other words, ISCO has evidence that its nonembryonic parthenogenic RPE cells halt the advance of age-related macular degeneration. These cells prevent blindness just as RPE cells from cadavers and embryonic sources do. In essence, this is the same kind of breakthrough that BioTime just announced, but from a different angle.

Here's how the story played out for BioTime...

Scientists have long known that embryonic stem cells have the ability to repair damaged tissues in animals. Scientists also knew that induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells made from adult cells (not embryos) would have the same ability. This is important because iPS cells don't come with the ethical problems that embryonic cells do. Moreover, because iPS cells can be made using the donors' own cells, they would cause no immune system rejection problems if returned to the donor.

The rejection problem could likely be treated using immune system suppressants, just as is done in the case of organ transplants. Still, immune suppressants have many unwanted side effect. Donor iPS cells would clearly be a superior solution.

Scientists were excited because iPS cells offered the hope that youthful iPS cells could be created using a patient's own cells. Then, you could have as many of your own rejuvenated cells as you needed to fix aged and damaged tissues, all without immune reaction.

The monkey wrench in this vision came when some scientists created iPS cells from donor cells. They found that the effective age of the new stem cells was the same as the donor cells. This was a big potential problem. They believed that iPS heart cells from a 65-year-old donor who had suffered a heart attack would be effectively 65 years old. There would be little point in transplanting old cells into a heart suffering from aging-related illness.

West, however, proved that he can reverse the clock of aging in iPS cells so that the 65-year-old woman with heart disease could use her own iPS cells that are as healthy as a newborn baby's. This is huge.

Basically, ISCO scientists have just proven that they have the same ability vis-a-vis parthenogenic cells.

There has never been any question that hPS cells are young. This is because they are derived from unfertilized ovum, oocytes. Like iPS cells, hPS cells also solve the ethical problems associated with embryonic stem cells. They are not embryonic cells and, unlike iPS, probably can't even be used to create human clones. Moreover, the parthenogenic technology has the promise of solving the rejection problem, as do iPS cells.

Parthenogenic stem cells have only half the DNA of normal cells. They are parthenotes, cells whose double helix of DNA has unzipped in preparation for the possibility of fertilization. ISCO has figured out how to use this feature to "hack" the immune system problem.

The reason is that immune rejection or acceptance is determined by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching. This is too complicated a subject to deal with sufficiently here, but you can think of it this way: Acceptance or rejection of a transplant organ or cell depends on the body's reaction to a number of genetic "points," or antigens in the transplanted tissue. With good matching of these points, little or no immune suppression is necessary. If most do not match, there will be massive rejection and even the most aggressive immune suppression may not work.

For simple mathematical reasons, the odds against comprehensive matching of HLA points increase geometrically with each additional point. Therefore, the difficulty of immune matching hPS cells, with half the DNA and HLA points of normal cells, is far, far less than half the difficulty of matching a normal cell.

In fact, it is possible that only 50 hPS cell lines will immune match 95% of the human race. Think of these 50 (or more) cell lines as complex versions of blood types. ISCO is in the process of building a cell bank of hPS cells that could solve the rejection problem, delivering the immune benefits of iPS cells, but from another angle. ISCO has several lines now that each immune match over 15 million Americans. Once gathered, these immortal cell lines never have to be regathered.

Even unmatched, by the way, hPS cells with half the HLA points are probably superior to normal embryonic cell therapies in the immune suppression department. Once this cell bank is constructed, however, ISCO expects to solve most of the same immune rejection problems that iPS cells solve. Additionally, as I've said, they are young cells like BioTime's iPS cells. Only one piece of the puzzle was unverified.

We did not have proof until this last ISCO study was completed that hPSCs actually work. I believed they would. ISCO scientists, obviously, believed they would, but we didn't have clinical evidence. It was an extrapolation of scientific principles.

When making projections, we always make these sorts of assumptions. If ISCO and I had been wrong, however, ISCO would be collapsing and its stock value near zero. And I would be... embarrassed, to put it mildly. So my thanks go to all the scientists at ISCO, especially Dr. Elena Revazova, who made the early parthenogenic breakthroughs in Russia.

Anyway, we now have clinical evidence that hPS cells work in animals, just as embryonic cells and iPS cells do. Increasingly, by the way, it has become obvious that embryonic stem cells are functionally obsolete in the field of regenerative medicine. There has been an unusual amount of resistance to this fact in the scientific press. I'm half-convinced, in fact, that a lot of journalists are still vested in discrediting President Bush's insistence that a superior solution to embryonic stem cells could be found.

Embryonic stem cells work fine, of course, for actual human reproduction. I personally hope they never become obsolete there. iPS and hPS cells, however, are the superior platforms for most therapeutic uses.

The iPS platform may always be the most attractive high-end stem cell (SC) strategy, but ISCO's hPS cell therapies will have important advantages in many cases. For instance, let's say you have an accident and need SC treatment immediately for spinal cord or organ injuries. Unless you have already had your cells transformed into iPS cells and potentiated to become all the types you are likely to need in emergencies, your only real option would be hPS cell therapy.

ISCO's platform will also have a cost advantage. ISCO's ability to mass-produce and store off-the-shelf treatments, stem cells programmed to cure specific conditions without immune rejection, guarantees the company a huge market niche. Induced pluripotent SC technologies will likely keep the high-end clinical market, but hPS cells will likely be the Wal-Mart of SC therapies. While not as glamorous as the high end, Wal-Mart has made early investors rich. ISCO's advantages should do the same thing.

For example, consider the RPE cells ISCO is bringing to market. These cells are based on 10 years of research, primarily at Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC: OTCBB). Ten years ago, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) looked like the perfect target for eSC therapies.

It is known that RPE cells from cadavers can stop or reverse AMD. The cost of gathering enough cadaver cells for one patient, however, runs from $10,000-15,000. Moreover, there are simply not enough cadaver cells for a fraction of the 2.5 million Americans with the disease. ACT estimates the worth of the market for replacement RPE at $2.5 billion. ISCO's chairman Ken Aldrich, in keeping with his aforementioned restraint, says $1 billion.

Retinas, unlike corneas, are rich with capillaries. This means immune reaction is a particularly serious issue. When ISCO gets to market in two or three years, I project it should have most or all of the cell lines it needs to deal with immune rejection. Moreover, it has taken the technology a step further. Whereas ACT proposes therapy with RPE cells, ISCO is growing them in a matrix that can be applied surgically. My prediction is that these matrices will not only stop AMD, they will reverse it. If ISCO had a theme song, it would probably be Irving Berlin's "Anything You Can Do."

We'll see, of course, but all that's left to prove ISCO as a transformational stock for the ages is human trials. They could be completed in as little as two years.

Patrick Cox
for The Daily Reckoning

Joel's Note: It's difficult not to get excited about the kinds of breakthrough technology Patrick regularly uncovers for his readers. A staunch believer in human ingenuity, Patrick is the kind of fellow who sees a silver lining for (almost) every cloud. It's refreshing, yes...but it can also be immensely profitable, too. Imagine having invested in some of the past breakthrough technologies - the automobile, for example - before they changed the course of history. Now we're talking about the kind of fortunes that can last over many generations.

Real Foods Are Your Best Bet to Prevent Disease

March 12, 2010

Research continues to gather evidence that many of the 'big diseases' like cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease are preventable. What's the secret? It's inexpensive and is as easy as running to the grocery store.

Real, whole foods, high in antioxidants are deservedly getting a lot of press in the fight against life threatening chronic illnesses.

Scientists believe that a common cause of many chronic diseases is the destruction of DNA by free radicals. Iron and copper ions play a significant role in the formation of these free radicals and are being studied at Clemson University by chemist Julia Brumaghim and her team.

US Congress: The Greatest Threat To Your Health and Freedom...

If you value your health, your freedom, or both, we need to remind you to express your vigorous opposition to the food fascism bills being passed off as fake food "safety" bills pending in the US Senate. There are two of them, and they are cleverly linked: S. 501 from Sen. Harkin's committee will criminalize the production of safe, local food, including from your own garden, if it is chemical free, organic, and therfore non-Codex compliant.

We have been warning that this was coming for several years. We wish we had been wrong. Its dastardly companion bill, S.3002, from Sen. McCain will give the FDA what it has sought for 15 years: the legal ability to destroy your access to high potency supplements. It is bills like these which, when enacted into law, have given the FDA, USDA, EPA and other government agencies the power they are so rampantly abusing to our collective detriment and to the detriment of health AND freedom. Read about them, and take action below, once for each member of your family:


http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714



OVER 2.2 MILLION EMAILS IS A GROWING ROAR FOR HEALTH AND FOOD FREEDOM!
ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE FREEDOM ROAR NOW!



Thanks! Now send this Action item to every person you can reach asking them to take action and then pass it on in the same way. After all, everyone eats so this is everyone's battle. We're making this issue "go viral": that's how we turn "Push Back" into "Take Down!"


Urgently Important Health Freedom Action eAlert Action Items -

Health Freedom Movement turning "Push Back" into "Take Down" - And Natural Solutions Foundation is Leading the Way, As Always

We are pleased to report that a number of health freedom groups who are, generally, so fragmented and ineffective that they trip all over each other, are once again taking their cue from our Action Items and offering a Citizens Petition for Health Freedom. We say: "Good for them! And Good for us all!" We believe that the Globalist agenda must die the "death of the thousand cuts" and that every opposition to it is one of those cuts. Therefore, in addtiion to taking our Food and Supplement Freedom Action Item,


http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

and our urgent call to Ban ALL GMOs immediately,

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049

Please also take this new Action Item to sign the Health Revolution Petition, created by other members of the Health Freedom world as they followed our lead once again. The more voices, the bigger the swell -


http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2352



You may remember our Open Letters to other folks in the Health Freedom Movement and the absolutely underwhelming response they received. This time, however, it would appear that things may have shifted for the better. We hope to see, and bring you, many more such good followership items from other Health Freedom activists! Let this be a major sea change!

The Natural Solutions Foundation firmly believes that the more we work together, the easier it will be to move from Push Back to Take Down on issue after issue! This petition is a moderately good recounting of the health freedom issues. While not exhaustive, there are a number issues enumerated here which we have brought to you previously in what we believe to be effective tactics for real change.

We don't all agree on all the items in the list, but the activists who drafted it are mostly good people and mostly allies, so we are happy to seek additional signatures to the Health Revolution Petition. While a laundry list of items of this sort may not bring about administrative, legislative or judicial changes as our far more targeted Action Items can and do, it will serve as notice to TPTB (the powers that be). For that reason, we suggest that you sign this petition to serve yet another notice that we care - deeply - about these issues.


Featured Videos

To understand Monsanto and the threat that it, and its Food "Safety" Bill S. 510 pose to you, and why you must take the Action Item opposing it and pass it along so many, many others can do the same, you need to watch this video about the impact of Agent Orange all these decades after the Vietnamese War,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVH-w1lCbrY&feature=related

and then recall that according to Monsanto, its newest version of Roundup© is comprised of 70% Agent Orange. Sprayed on food, washed into the water and digested in our bodies, what do you think the result will be on you and yours?

If you need a reminder of why Sen. McCain's S. 3002 is such a good ploy to get nutrient restrictions matching Codex into the US, watch this video


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P30Itrfhn8o

and recall that these Nutrient Reference Values are supposed to tell consumers what they need of a particular nutrient on labels first and then they will become the maximum permissible upper level. How low are they? Low enough to mandate under nutrition which guarantees increased chronic, deadly degenerative diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity just as we have been warning was the next step since 2005.

But just exactly what is Codex? How does it work and what are its vulnerabilities? Watch "Rome Codex Deconstruction"

NEW: Dr. Rima Network:

www.DrRima.net

Why should you care? Because the manifest dangers of conventional medicine, already known to kill hundreds of thousands of people each year WHEN USED PROPERLY are getting worse. Not only are vaccines increasingly dangerous, everything that conventional medicine does - or touches - is getting more dangerous.

Consider this article :


http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Non-food/Healthcare/overlooked_contaminant_found_in_donated_blood_2002100421.html


This level of incompetence and deadly carelessness is by no means rare. One has to wonder if it is, in fact, an accident at all.

Now consider that half of the drugs cleared for public sale by the FDA are quietly removed from the market (or greatly restricted) in 5 years or less because of their dangerous and deadly effects. Hundreds of people die each month (!) from Avianda alone, for example,


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35491876/ns/health-the_new_york_times

Now consider, too, the fact that the profits in these wildly dangerous drugs are astronomical. Then consider the fact that their proven potential to generate sales for other drugs once the first drug has been taken (quite an effective business market, as the spread sheets demonstrate) is directly threatened by

1. Natural health options
2. Clean unadulterated food
3. Health Freedom to allow people to reject allopathic solutions to real or imagined problems and use natural ones instead.


Senator McCain's bill, S. 3002, now being justified as "merely to protect against athletes doping" and downplayed as "not likely to get out of committee" is a direct Big Pharma ploy to make sure the supplements you depend upon are taken away from you. This bill is a "stalking horse" for the equally bad "food safety" bill S 510 that your Push Back had stalled in committee. Watch for one or the other to be amended to include the worst provisions of the other and then pushed for a vote.

Will this happen? Not if we continue to Push Back!


http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714



If our outrage and vocal response as the Health Freedom netroots keeps these bills in committee, congratulations to us. It may return yet again, from yet another Congressional prostitute... and we will keep pushing it back! Yes, it is, of course, likely that the McCain bill is merely a stalking horse, a diversion, if you will, to allow Sen. Harkin's horrific "Food Safety" [NOT!] Bill to be amended to "satisfy" McCain's interests.



And We Certainly Will Not Let That Happen


It would appear that we have pushed McCain's S. 3002 back into the cesspool from which it emerged through push back. Now let's take down its big brother, S 510. Please click the link below and take action once for each member of your family, then send the Action Item out to your entire list and let them know that their ability to access clean, unadulterated food ends if this "other safety" bill passes.

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714


And, while we are on the subject of clean, unadulterated food, I have two things more to share with you: Genetically Modified Foods, which the FDA approves just, well, just BECAUSE, have no meaningful examination of safety data prior to allowing a patented seed or animal into your food supply. The USDA, headed by Secretary Vilsik, a former Monsanto Executive, exercises no control or restriction over these "foods" whatsoever.

Bayer Crop Sciences' pharmaceutical rice has contaminated the entire Southeastern US rice growers' livelihood. GMO alfalfa will certainly contaminate all alfalfa in the US now that the shamefully inadequate USDA sham environmental impact study has been released by that corporate-controlled agency.

Organic cows eat organic alfalfa (the fifth largest crop in the US) so there may well be no more organic beef or milk production in North America by the time these perennial plants distribute their patented DNA over the North American Continent through the work of wind, bees, birds and animals.

Not OK with you? It's not OK with the Natural Solutions Foundation, either. GMOs of every kind must be stopped and stopped now while we still have a chance of protecting our entire biosphere - including you and your cells, along with your kids and grandkids' cells, as well.

Click the link below NOW to ban all GMOs now and set up a strong scientific agency to determine just how bad the damage has been and what we can do to fix it - right now the answers to both of those questions are totally unknown.


http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049


And one more thing: The Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, is all about reclaiming the production of clean, unadulterated food on a global basis. We chose Panama for a multitude of reasons, including its political stability, its social stability and its financial stability. There is a wide spread interest in clean, unadulterated food here, among both the English speaking and the Spanish speaking communities. The diversity of growing eco niches and micro climates means that the growing conditions of most of the world are represented here, making farm classrooms meaningful for teaching farmers from all over the world how to grow food without dangerous chemicals. For example, take our Valley of the Moon Coffee. Please. Once you do, you will be brew yourself a cup of what coffee experts are telling us is the finest coffee they have ever tasted, free from GMOs, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or any other "cides". Shouldn't health freedom have its own Friendly Food Certified Coffee, friendly to the workers, the environment and you, the consumer? We think so! And shouldn't you know about it, drink it and give it as a special gift? http://www.ValleyfotheMoonCoffee.org

Is Your IRA Safe from US Government Confiscation? Certainly NOT!

But there is another reason for talking about the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project right now. And that is money. You see, the US Government has announced that it is accepting comments on taking your IRA and 401 retirement funds and converting them to fixed income annuities with a 3% yield "guaranteed" by the failing, flailing US Treasury. Middle-class Americans' last asset base [since the equity in our homes is gone] will be raided like the Social Security "Trust Fund" has been raided... to fund more government waste!

The Natural Solutions Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Panama Natural Solutions Foundation, is a legitimate offshore investment vehicle for those funds (and any others you might want to have offshore, such as personal funds, trust funds, family investment funds, church or other nonprofit funds). Offshore investment is an option which will not, we believe, be available much longer now that the US economy has been gutted and the last pool of what passes for real money, your retirement funds, is about to be stolen out of your future.


In addition to producing Health Freedom's Own Coffee, the wonderful, smooth and delightful Valley of the Moon Coffee, we are also entering the process of generating our own BeyondOrganic, BioDynamic food for our use and for the use of our customers here in Panama and elsewhere. We are nearing completion of our Natural Solutions Center (with its wellness and seminar programs): we'll let you know about our Grand Opening Celebration and our Seminar Schedule as soon as we have firm dates!


Meanwhile, I can tell you that I feel much better having invested my own IRA offshore in a project with such a strong future.

Oh, yes, one other thing: we are getting ready for the next Codex meeting. The Codex Committee on Food Labeling takes place from May 3-7, 2010 in Ottawa, Canada. If you want us there, you need to send us there.

$630 per person, Economy Class for 3 people = $1890
Accommodations: $ 1509.79 US (simple bed and breakfast 8 blocks from meeting - we walk)
Food: $75.00 per person for 3 persons, does not include hosting delegates for meals $1500
Incidentals like printing (documents we give to delegates, for example) not included

So we are asking you, through recurring small or large donations, to send us to Codex for you. By the way, if you want to come along, you are welcome! Just let us know and we will fill you in on what, when and where.

Can we afford that? Collectively, yes, we can.


Can we afford NOT to afford that? Collectively, no we can not.

You'll have a video report each day, and our written reports as well.

There are nearly 300,000 people on this list. The math of activism is pretty simple.

Without your activism we are threatened with the loss of many of our traditional remedies, and certainly all of the advanced modalities being developed outside the Big Pharma world. Take for example the traditional cleansing and detox modality known as "ear candling" - FDA now says ear candles are medical devices. We kid you not. Here is the language from a letter received two days ago by the three leading ear candle companies:

"Under section 201(h) of the Act, the ... ear candle is a device because it is inte
nded for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or is intended to affect the structure or function of the body, 21 U.S.C. 321(h)... [because you intend to] "mitigate or treat allergies, headaches, colds, flu, sinus congestion, sore throat, ear infections, swollen glands, sinus infections, balance and equilibrium, migraines and vertigo..."

Will FDA get away with turning ear candles into medical devices? Not if we can help it!

Remember, the EPA and FDA are, in a separate action, trying to take nano and colloidal silver off the market, just as the European Food Supplements Directive has succeeded in doing there as of January 1, 2010. Silver is an illegal substance in Europe.

Why? Because silver is the universal antibiotic and would destroy a vast pharmaceutical market if enough people knew about it. After investigation, I personally recommend the Silver Biotics nano silver available at:
