Stem cell treatment gives hope to Crohn's disease sufferers

Northern California biotech Geron made history this year when it received FDA approval to test its stem cell therapy in people with spinal cord injuries. Now that the federal ban on using government money to support embryonic stem cell research has been lifted, local scientists hope to see their early stage research reach the clinic, too.

Before the federal government decides on the process for approving applicants, the state will begin loaning money to for-profit biotechs with promising new applications for stem cell research.

Groundbreaking News about Telomerase Activation!
UCLA on Nov.10 announced groundbreaking pre-clinical data on TAT2, a small molecule telomerase activator.

This study was conducted by Professor Rita B. Effros at UCLA and collaborating scientists from the Geron Corporation. It will be printed in The Journal of Immunology on November 15 2008. Past research concludes that individuals with high white blood cell telomerase activity have enhanced immune function. TAT2 was shown in this study to increase telomerase and similarly strengthen the immune system. This peer reviewed paper demonstrates the potential of products that can activate telomerase.

As the licensee of Geron's anti-aging technology for activating telomerase, T.A. Sciences congratulates Geron and Professor Effros on this exciting new scientific research.
