Pluristem Therapeutics Inc., a leading developer of placenta-based cell therapy products, today announced the publication of a scientific study of PLacental eXpanded (PLX) cells in the prominent peer-reviewed journal Clinical Science. The paper, titled "Human Placenta-Derived Stromal Cells Decrease Inflammation, Placental Injury, and Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Pregnant Mice," describes the positive findings of a recent preclinical study of PLX-PAD cells for the treatment of preeclampsia. This marks the first published study indicating the superiority of placenta-derived mesenchymal cells in a therapeutic outcome as compared to cells derived from bone marrow or fat tissue, thus having implications beyond preeclampsia. Scientists also described the potential mechanism of action by which PLX-PAD cells treated symptoms of preeclampsia. Conducted by independent scientists at the Texas A&M Health Science Center/Baylor Scott & White Health, the paper was co-authored by scientists from the Health Science Center and Pluristem Therapeutics.

Severe hemophilia occurs in about 60% of cases where the deficiency of Factor VIII is less than 1% of normal blood concentration. While it is passed down from parents to children, about 1/3 of cases are caused by a spontaneous change in the gene.

It will soon be possible for patients with Parkinson's to overcome episodic struggles with movement with a sublingual pill of apomorphine, a powerful dopaminergic medication. Recent studies have shown that a marked improvement may be noted after only 10 minutes of sublingual administration.

A special session at the Milan World Congress compared the systems currently used to monitor the movements of patients with Parkinson's disease. With a smartphone and an insole sensor, a patient's movements may be monitored and subcutaneous drug therapy may be regulated remotely, without having to resort to expensive and laborious hospitalization.
