Thank you to Medical Product Outsourcing Magazine for the great article featuring our Cosmic Brain Organoid research study in their recent publication about work being done at the ISS National Lab to improve the treatment of neurogenerative diseases, inflammatory disorders, and vision related conditions here on Earth. As they quote Dr. Grisanti, “By developing human organoids of neurodegenerative diseases with microglia in the accelerated environment of microgravity, we have added an important new tool and a new way of looking at and understanding how and why neurodegeneration occurs.” #stemcells #research #space #PD #MS #ISS Dr. Paula Grisanti https://ow.ly/Rpyg50T5lar

What do we do? At NSCF, we collaborate with experts in the field to solve problems across three connected platforms: research, education, and advocacy. We fund promising adult stem cell research and clinical trials; underwrite the National STEM Scholar Program for middle school science teachers nationwide; and cover copays and deductibles for children participating in clinical trials for rare diseases when those out-of-pocket costs are beyond a family’s means. Our partnerships across all three platforms double donor dollars for greater impact. Please help us make a difference on #GiveforGoodLou on Thursday, September 12!

September is #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth - the leading cause of death by disease for children under 14. The NSCF Pediatric Promise Fund at Duke helps cover copays and deductibles for children participating in clinical trials for pediatric cancers and other rare diseases when those out-of-pocket costs are beyond a family’s means.

Congratulations to our research partner Dr. Valentina Fossati, Senior Research Investigator at the The New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute, on her team’s recent publication of a study of MS patients finding that glial cells, support cells in the brain, may contribute directly to the disease. These findings pave the way for research to explore therapies that target these cells directly, potentially leading to more effective treatments for MS. #MS #research #stemcells Dr. Paula Grisanti https://ow.ly/Hy6H50T8PWn
