International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO) news stock charts
International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO/ISCO.OB) Investment Summary:
International Stem Cell Corporation, a biotechnology company, focuses on the development of therapeutic and research products. The company is developing stem cells that are comparable in function to embryonic stem cells from which, cells for human transplant can be derived; techniques to cause those cells to be differentiated into the specific cell types required for transplant; and manufacturing protocols to produce these cells without contamination with animal by-products in compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements. Its cells could be used for the treatment of various diseases, including diabetes, liver disease, corneal disease, and retinal disease through cell tr...INTERNATIONAL STEM CELL CORP (ISCO:OTC Bulletin Board Market)

Key developments for INTERNATIONAL STEM CELL CORP (ISCO)
International Stem Cell Corporation announced that its Research and Therapeutic Development Group, together with a group of scientists from the University of California, Irvine, is starting a second phase of essential pre-clinical experiments to test retinal pigment epithelium derived from parthenogenetic stem cells. Follow on pre-clinical experiments will be conducted to rescue vision in disease models. Retinal pigment epithelium has been derived from parthenogenetic stem cells by the company's scientists in close collaboration with University of California, Irvine scientists. The retinal pigment epithelium cells will be tested for the presence of specific markers and for functional activity. Retinal pigment epithelium plays a critical role in maintaining proper eye function. Loss of function or dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelium is involved in a range of disabling eye conditions, particularly age-related macular degeneration that is the major cause of vision loss in seniors. Encouraging data from animal models have shown that visual degradation caused by age-related macular degeneration can be slowed through the transplantation of retinal pigment epithelium. One of the major barriers for this therapy is the lack of sufficient retinal pigment epithelium cells from suitable donated tissue.
International Stem Cell Corporation announced that human parthenogenetic stem cell lines (hpSC), created by scientists from its Research and Therapeutic Development Group, have demonstrated ability to maintain the essential properties of immortal stem cells throughout extended laboratory cultivation. To date, ISCO has created 10 human parthenogenetic stem cell lines. One of these lines, named phSC-Hhom-4, has the most common set of HLA genes found in various U.S. population groups and may be useful to treat millions of people world-wide from a single cell line. After more than one hundred passages over more than two years of continuous in vitro cultivation, the line phSC-Hhom-4 has maintained pluripotent stem cell properties and continues to be used in experiments to create therapeutic derivatives targeted for treatment of liver, cornea, retina and neurodegenerative diseases. The differentiated derivatives of human parthenogenetic stem cells, obtained by ISCO scientists, promise to overcome the problem of immune-matching in tissue-replacement therapy. This is a significant differentiator from embryonic stem cells and a major reason why hpSC have the potential to become the first population-specific pluripotent stem cells available for use in the treatment of human diseases for different genders and racial groups across the world.
International Stem Cell Corporation announced that its new cell production facility has passed final building inspection, which will enable development and manufacturing of the company and its partners' clinical-grade stem cell products. ISCO has designed and built a unique cell manufacturing facility in Oceanside, California consisting of separate "suites" for development and production of different cell types from the company's proprietary human parthenogenic stem cell (hpSC) technology. The facility is located in close proximity to the fertility clinics that provide donated human eggs (oocytes) under ISCO's recently-established partnerships and also near leading Californian research institutions with whom ISCO collaborates on fundamental stem cell biology and therapeutic applications. ISCO will implement its parthenogenic stem cell processes at this facility during 2010 and adopt current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) standards. In parallel, ISCO will collaborate with world-leading scientists to demonstrate the therapeutic applicability and the potential immune-rejection advantages of hpSC lines relative to other stem cell classes.
