  • How a Silly Putty Ingredient Could Advance Stem Cell Therapies 13 April 2014
    How a Silly Putty ingredient could advance stem cell therapies 13 April 2014 carpet made of a key ingredient in Silly Putty. Their study is published online at Nature Materials on April 13. This research is the first to directly link physical, as opposed to chemical, signals to human embryonic stem cell differentiation. Differentiation is the process of the source cells morphing into the body's more than 200 cell types that become muscle, bone, nerves and organs, for example. Jianping Fu, U-M assistant professor of mechanical engineering, says the findings raise the possibility of a more efficient way to guide stem cells to differentiate and potentially provide therapies for diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), Huntington's or Alzheimer's. In the specially engineered growth system—the 'carpets' Fu and his colleagues designed—microscopic posts of the Silly Putty component polydimethylsiloxane serve as the threads. By varying the post height, the researchers can adjust the stiffness of the surface they grow cells on. Shorter posts are more rigid—like an industrial carpet. Taller ones are softer—more plush. University of Michigan researchers have found that mechanical forces in the environment of human embryonic stem cells influences how they differentiate, The team found that stem cells they grew on the or morph into the body's different cell types. To arrive at tall, softer micropost carpets turned into nerve cells the findings, they cultured the stem cells on ultrafine much faster and more often than those they grew carpets made of microscopic posts of a key ingredient in on the stiffer surfaces.

  • Smart Ways to Manage Neuropathy Neuropathy, a Common Complication of Diabetes, Was Once Thought to Be Untreatable
    PAIN APRIL/MAY 2018 BY GINA SHAW Smart Ways to Manage Neuropathy Neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes, was once thought to be untreatable. Today, a variety of treatments and strategies are available to ease the discomfort. By the time she was in her early fifties, Kathy Zimmerman knew she had to make a change. The computer software engineer in Springfield, VA, had steadily gained weight over the years until she was morbidly obese and had developed type 2 diabetes. "I had a number of other health problems, too, including arthritis and high blood pressure," says Zimmerman, now 67. Then she started noticing numbness, tingling, and burning in her feet and was told she had diabetic peripheral neuropathy—nerve damage caused by exposure to high blood sugar and the other metabolic consequences of diabetes. Although researchers are still investigating exactly how diabetes damages nerve cells, many believe it may be a result of metabolic changes that increase inflammation—changes that are also exacerbated by high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, and smoking. Illustration by Jun Cen All Too Common Nearly 60 percent of all people with diabetes have some form of neuropathy, most often in their feet. It affects people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes: About 20 percent of type 1 patients develop it after 20 years, and about 50 percent of type 2 patients develop it after just 10 years. (In type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system destroys the cells needed to produce insulin, which means the pancreas cannot process the sugar, known as glucose, it needs to produce energy.

  • STEM CELL THERAPY Eva Feldman Russell N. Dejong Professor of Neurology, University of Michigan, USA
    BEST FUTURE STRATEGIES FOR NEUROREHABILITATION - STEM CELL THERAPY Eva Feldman Russell N. DeJong Professor of Neurology, University of Michigan, USA Neurodegenerative diseases are increasing at an alarming rate as the worldwide population ages. There are few effective treatments for these disorders that include Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Cellular therapies offer a unique opportunity to delay or even improve the clinical course of these disorders. Treatment objectives typically center on cellular replacement or providing environmental enrichment. The two most common approaches involve the transplantation of fetal tissue grafts or of stem cells, the focus of today’s debate. Stem cells have the capacity to proliferate and differentiate into multiple cellular lineages. There are different classifications of stem cells that reflect the range of possible cell types they can produce, and include embryonic stem (ES) cells, progenitor cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Stem cells may provide cellular replacement, or more commonly provide environmental enrichment to support host neurons by producing neurotrophic factors, scavenging toxic factors or creating auxiliary neural networks around affected areas and improving neural circuitry. Many strategies for environmental enrichment utilize stem cells to provide de novo synthesis and delivery of neuroprotective growth factors at the site of disease. Neural progenitor stem cells are currently being transplanted into the spinal cords of patients with ALS and multiple transplants alter the normal relentless progression of the disease. While more research is required, including highly controlled clinical trials, recent success with cellular therapy in ALS provides the beginning of a new therapeutic era in neurodegenerative disorders.

Our primary goal is examining the onset and progression of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN). Recent data collected from our archived human samples indicates that elevated triglycerides predict the progression of DPN in human patients (1). We have confirmed the damaging effects of oxidized lipids on neuronal oxidative stress and DPN progression in an animal model of type 2 diabetes, high fat fed C57Bl/6J mice (2). We are also investigating the role of diabetes induced oxidative stress, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance on neurons of the central nervous system with regard to the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. The results of these two studies are detailed below. Progress Towards Stated Milestones: Dyslipidemia-Induced Neuropathy in Mice We investigated the impact of a high fat diet on the induction of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and neuropathy in C57Bl/6J mice.
