What is PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma?
PRP Platelet Rich Plasma is the use of a person’s own blood platelets to enhance hair growth as a stand-alone treatment or to improve the recovery and results of hair transplant surgery. In the field of tissue regeneration, research is continuing to progress regarding the use of PRP’s ability to stimulate stem cells, improve wound healing, and rejuvenate skin and hair follicles.
How is PRP performed as a stand-alone treatment for hair growth?
A small sample of blood is obtained from the patient. This sample is processed in an FDA-cleared device to separate the platelets from other components like red blood cells. Platelets are then chemically ‘activated,’ releasing powerful molecules which have profound biologic effects on hair follicles and skin. Under comfortable local anesthesia, this powerful cocktail of growth factors, cytokines and other proteins is injected into the area of scalp where weak hair follicles exist. Microneedling of the skin is also performed. Mild soreness, if any, resolves in less than a day and improved hair growth can be measured in a matter of weeks.
Is all PRP the same?
Unfortunately not, and this is where it can get confusing for patients (and physicians!). At Bauman Medical Group, we use the FDA approved Autologel PRP process to separate and activate Platelet Rich Plasma for use as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with hair transplantation. Bauman Medical Group is proud to be the first complete hair transplant team to be fully certified by Cytomedix to produce Autologel. That means that every member of our team has passed certification for the preparation and application of Autologel PRP. At Bauman Medical Group, we feel that our PRP/ACell protocols are providing significant stimulation of hair growth and hair follicle rejuvenation.

How stem cells are being used to treat vision problems. Plus, the anatomy of an eyeball. This is the first and only graphic I've done in the shape of an eyeball.
Mei Chen is a senior scientist at Intel Research Pittsburgh. Her research interests include medical image computing, computer vision, robotics, and machine learning.
Looking back at the genesis of her interest in science Mei recounts, "My parents are both scientists who work in the Chinese Aeronautics Administration. That's like NASA in the US. In China, I did my college education in China before I came to the U.S. for grad school. The cultural revolution was over and China realized it needed to develop technology, so teachers held up people like Madame Curie as a role model for students. I actually once thought I could be like that someday. Now I realize how hard that is. But still, I see the work I'm doing is very significant and helping to save lives."
Mei is a co-investigator of the Interactive Search-Assisted Decision Support (ISADS) project, she has been leading the development of ISADS applications in Dermatology and Ophthalmology. Prior to joining Intel, she was a research scientist at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories from 2001-2006. With a focus on computational photography, technologies she developed have been transferred to five HP products that are on the market. Before her career at HP Labs, Dr. Chen was a Member of Technical Staff at Sarnoff Corporation from 1999-2001, developing innovative video enhancement and rendering technologies. From 1996-1999, during her graduate study at Carnegie Mellon University, she designed a 3-D deformable registration algorithm for medical images that is used by peers today. Dr. Chen is the author of 31 peer-reviewed publications and 16 patents. She holds a Ph.D. and a M.S. from the School of Computer Science in Carnegie Mellon University, and a M.S. and B. S. from Tsinghua University in China.
Mei commenst on her work on computer vision and stemness on the online radio show Future Lab:
This wonderful dress is part of an exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre, entitled The Beauty of Stem Cells - Fashion Inspired by Stem Cell Research. Unfortunately, I completely failed to photograph much else of it, but there were several other unusual pieces of clothing, and a series of rather nice photomicrographs by Craig Aarts and Radha Chaddah of the Stem Cell Network.
I also completely neglected to record who designed this elegant gown, but it was one of the following students of the fashion program at the RCC Institute of Technology in Toronto:
Muhammad Alamgir / Gulmairam Amankogoeva / Hilary Birkenshaw / Elissa Contino / Liliane Fotso / Julie Hodge / Lena Meier / Sveta Shvedenkova
I'm going to have to get back to this, I think. The exhibit and many other stem cell-related things are on until October the first. More info at bit.ly/rpb68Q and bit.ly/naZGHu.

Neurosphere culture. Fluorescent light microscope of a group of neural stem cells (neurosphere) in culture. The stem cells are differentiating into neurons (red) and nerve support cells (green), which are then migrating out of the neurosphere. Cell nuclei, which contain the cell's genetic information, are dyed blue. Intermediate filaments (IFs) are green and beta-tubulin III, one of the proteins that make up microtubules, is red. IFs and microtubules are part of the cell's cytoskeleton, which is responsible for intracellular transport, cell structure and motility.
Yen Kong, BME Research Fellow, checks for colonies of beating heart muscle cells in the Lurie Biomedical Engineering Building on February 7, 2014.
Kong, a member of the Cell Signaling in Engineered Tissues (CSET) lab that Putnam heads, developed a research program to see if fibroblasts, a cell type common in scar tissue, could be transformed into heart muscle cells.
By using this method of stem cell research, Kong and Putnam hope to transform scar tissue from heart attacks into new heart muscle.

Monday is going to be a big day for me. I've just had 4 days of injections to stimulate the growth of my stemcells and tomorrow I'm off to Bristol by ambulance (a 3 hour journey from here) where they will put me on a special machine which will collect my stemcells for storage until the time comes when it's safe to return them back into my body. In the next few weeks I will be admitted to Cheltenham Hospital where I will receive a strong dose of chemotherapy to kill off any remaining cancer cells before my stemcells are then returned to me.
I could be on the machine for several hours tomorrow whilst the stemcells are collected and I'm praying that they will be able to get the required amount in one session, otherwise I will have to make the same journey again the next day! David will of course be beside me keeping me company whilst I go through this procedure...I don't know how I would get through all this without him! Anyway please keep me in your thoughts and pray that I only have to make the one visit to Bristol. Thanks for your continued support everybody. ♥
