Leading researchers from Israel and Southern California to present stem cell symposium

member of the Gene, Immunology and Stem Cell Therapy Research Program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and an associate professor of pediatrics at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. For more than 10 years, Crooks has led a team studying stem cells in bone marrow and cord blood. In the past few years, the researchers have studied the unexpected potential of bone marrow to form the tissues of the pancreas -- research that may impact such diseases as diabetes and cystic fibrosis.

  • "Immune Cells and Adult Stem Cells Interact Synergistically to Renew Brain Cells and Rehabilitate Cognitive Functions in Dementias and Other Neurodegenerative Conditions," presented by Michal Schwartz, Ph.D., professor of Neuroimmunology at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. Among subjects being studied in Schwartz's research laboratory are vaccination for glaucoma, peptides to be used in post-traumatic vaccination for spinal cord injury, the mechanism of protective autoimmunity at the immunological, molecular and cellular levels, and the therapeutic approach of protective autoimmunity to neurological disorders.

  • "The Two Faces of Neural Stem Cells: Cancer Cause or Cancer Cure?" presented by neurosurgeon John S. Yu, M.D. co-director of the Comprehensive Brain Tumor Program at Cedars-Sinai's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute. Yu leads research of immune and gene therapies as well as bone marrow-derived neural stem cells in the treatment of malignant brain tumors. Yu and his colleagues have isolated "cancer stem cells" from tumors. These stem cells share the multi-potent and self-renewing properties of normal stem cells but instead of producing healthy cells, they propagate cancer cells in their own image.

  • "Using Gene Therapy to Manipulate the Fate of Stem Cells," presented by Pedro Lowenstein, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Board of Governors Gene Therapeutics Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
