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.

I had the opportunity to be on a panel of expert scientists gathered to discuss the ethical and scientific challenges posed by stem cell research. You'll notice 2 things: 1) that the panel is very intelligent and 2) that I'm the cleanest one on the panel because I showered just beforehand.
Stem cells combined with parathyroid hormone (PTH) accelerated fracture healing of the spine in a mouse model. In image A, the red arrow points to a stem cell targeting a spinal bone fracture. In image B, arrows point to bone loss in two spinal bone fractures. Image C shows complete healing of spinal bone fractures eight weeks after treatment with stem cells and PTH. Mice treated with either therapy alone, or untreated, showed minimal bone repair.

Skeletal muscles heal following an injury by activating satellite stem cells to generate new muscle cells. But in some diseases like muscular dystrophy, this process does not work as it should. NIAMS-funded researchers have identified a protein, the TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6), which may be key to developing new stem cell treatments for muscle wasting diseases. The left image shows extensive formation of new muscle fibers (red) following injury in a mouse muscle containing the TRAF6 protein. The image on the right is injured mouse muscle that does not contain TRAF6. It shows a marked deficit in muscle regeneration and large areas devoid of muscle fibers (white), as well as accumulations of fibrotic tissue (blue).

Today President Barack Obama lifted the ban on federal funding of stem cell research. See article by AP writer Philip Elliot news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090309/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_stem_cells
This opens the possibility of greater opportunity for scientists in the medical community to find cures for such maladies as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, spinal chord injuries and a host of other health issues currently considered to be chronic conditions. It gives me the hope that one day I and people like me, or at least a younger generation, will not need to take potentially dangerous pills, like those pictured above in my hand, to keep our symptoms under control.
As a Parkinson’s sufferer myself and the son and grandson of Alzheimer’s sufferers I commend Mr. Obama for making this important and courageous decision which has the potential to benefit millions of people across the United States and throughout the world.
While I am aware that money is not an abundant commodity in these troubled economic times I would encourage all who have even a dollar or two to spare for a good cause to make a contribution no matter how great or how small to one of the following organizations or to another of your choice which is working toward the betterment of life for mankind.
The Parkinson Foundation of the Heartland
The Michael J. Fox Foundation on Parkinson’s Research
The Alzheimer’s Association
The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America
Thank you,

"My major thrust is the "science of computer vision," Dr. Kanade points out. "Traditionally, many computer vision algorithms were derived heuristically either by introspection or biological analogy. In contrast, my approach to vision is to transform the physical, geometrical, optical and statistical processes, which underlie vision, into mathematical and computational models. This approach results in algorithms that are far more powerful and revealing than traditional ad hoc methods based solely on heuristic knowledge. With this approach we have developed a new class of algorithms for color, stereo, motion, and texture."

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.
