StemCell Therapy

UConn Health Center researchers are developing stem cell therapies to repair joint cartilage. Associate professor Caroline Dealy discusses the process for developing these stem cell therapies, and the future commercialization of the research. And while Dealy's work predates Bioscience Connecticut, it is an example of the type of job-creating and cure-promoting project that will flourish under the new state-sponsored initiative.

Allan Sparrow was just 13-years-old when he was diagnosed with Scleroderma; a disease that causes abnormal growth of connective tissue. Skin that hardens is one symptom of this disease. Scleroderma can affect blood vessels and internal organs, such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys, as it did in Allan's case.

After stem cell therapy I can raise my arms up over my head. I couldn't do that for several years beforehand. At the airport they wanted me to stretch my arms out to the side and put my palms up.

Treatment of Depression More Than Triples in the US Over the Last 10 Years

Among people receiving treatment for depression in the US, the percentage of those on antidepressant medication has risen dramatically, while fewer are opting for time on the couch in psychotherapy.

The number of Americans treated for depression soared from 1.7 million to 6.3 million between 1987 and 1997, and the proportion of those receiving antidepressants doubled.

The researchers attributed the sharp increases to the emergence of aggressively marketed new drugs like Prozac, the rise in managed care and an easing of the stigma attached to the disease.

The study found that the share of patients who used antidepressant medication climbed from 37% to nearly 75%. At the same time, the proportion who received psychotherapy declined from 71% to 60%.

The publicizing of newer antidepressants that have fewer side effects - such as Prozac, which was introduced in late 1987 - has helped make patients more willing to seek treatment, the researchers said. This publicity has included pharmaceutical industry efforts to market the drugs directly to consumers and public-awareness campaigns about depression. Read more...

Ever considered becoming a bone marrow or blood stem cell donor? Follow this true story of a former NCI employee, Serena Marshall, as she takes you through her blood stem cell donation experience at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) are most commonly used in the treatment of cancers like leukemia and lymphoma to restore stem cells that have been destroyed by high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
