Bones make up the skeletal system and serve the important function of giving the body support to be able to move. Whats inside the bones also is essential to personal health.

Bone marrow can be found in the center of bones. According to the online wellness resource Healthline, this viscous or spongy tissue comes in two types: red or yellow bone marrow. Both have specific functions in the body.

Red bone marrow is essential for a process called hematopoiesis, or blood cell production. Hematopoietic stem cells in the red bone marrow can develop into key blood cells, including red blood cells, which carry oxygen-rich blood to the body; platelets, which help blood to clot; and white blood cells, which are involved in immune system responses.

Yellow bone marrow is involved with the storage of fats. These fats can be used as an energy source as needed. Yellow bone marrow also contains mesenchymal stem cells that can develop into bone, fat, muscle, or cartilage cells.

Over time, yellow bone marrow replaces red bone marrow in most of the bones in the adult body. Only a few bones, such as the pelvis, skull, vertebrae, and ribs, will contain red bone marrow into adulthood.

According to Medical News Today, bone marrow makes more than 200 billion new blood cells every day. Most blood cells in the body develop from bone marrow cells.

Issues with bone marrow can produce a host of side effects. Fatigue or weakness, fever, increased infections, easy bleeding and bruising, and specific conditions like leukemia and anemia can develop as a result of bone marrow-related problems. In some cases, a bone marrow transplant may be needed to replace diseased or nonfunctioning bone marrow. It also may help regenerate a new immune system that can fight leukemia or other cancers.

Bone marrow transplants also may involve replacing existing bone marrow with genetically healthy bone marrow to prevent future damage from certain genetic diseases, according to Medical News Today. Bone marrow transplants can come from ones own stem cells, a twin, a sibling, parent, or an unrelated donor. Marrow transplants also may come from stored umbilical cord blood.

Bone marrow is vital to the overall health and function of the human body. Bone marrow affects just about every other cell due to its unique relationship with blood production and immune function.

Only two decades ago, stem cell therapy was highly regulated in the United States and other countries but it was well underway in Hadassah Hospitals labs in Jerusalem. Never would we have imagined that the US expansion of one of the key clinical trials conducted in our labs in Israel would be later funded by Californias Stem Cell Institute.

In 2004, California had the foresight to advance this critical area of research, and Hadassah advocates played a major role in the passing of an unprecedented statewide ballot initiative that authorized state funding for stem cell research. This marked the passage of Proposition 71 in 2004.

Fast forward to today. Hadassahs commitment to stem cell research led the Californians for Stem Cell, Research, Treatments and Cures Initiative effort in 2020 to reach out for help with their grassroots effort to qualify the latest stem cell funding initiative for the November ballot. It qualified with your help, and I hope that in a few short weeks well be celebrating the passage of Proposition 14, which will provide $5.5 billion to help accelerate development of treatments and cures for life-threatening diseases and conditions.

The power of stem cells is mind-blowing: We are able to use these cells to replace damaged or diseased tissue, and in this way, treatments or cures for diseases like age-related macular degeneration, ALS, MS, Parkinsons, Alzheimers and diabetes could be a reality in the foreseeable future.

I come to this subject from a place of personal sorrow.

I watched my father-in-law, Irv, suffer for 12 and a half years with ALS, a man I loved as if he were my own father. He fought and fought, he made every minute of his battle meaningful, soaking as much life as he could, until he couldnt. Irv is the reason why I became involved in Hadassah because of their cutting-edge medical research and he is the reason that Im writing to you now.

Today, Hadassah is doing incredible things in stem cell research, and the stunning results of their clinical trials have riveted the worldwide medical community.

Of course, the research most personal to me is the ALS research. Hadassah researchers conducted the worlds first clinical trial using the patients own bone marrow stem cells to treat ALS.Pikuach nefesh, the preservation of life, is the most important obligation in Judaism, and the one that drives Hadassah. With the potential of stem research, we have the ability to save millions of lives throughout the world.

And, with the promise of stem cells, we can accelerate the development of treatments and cures for life-threatening diseases and conditions that affect someone in nearly half of all California families.

I believe that stem cell research is going to allow our children to look at the major diseases that plague our modern world the way we now view polio.That potential will not reveal itself on its own, nor did it with polio. It took decades of research and funding for a polio vaccine to be fully developed, tested and made available widely.

There are no medical miracles. Medical advancement happens because of research. Research takes will, knowledge, chutzpah and, of course, money. The path to get a therapy approved by the Food and Drug Administration can take 12 to 15 years, requires thousands of patients for clinical trials and costs billions of dollars. from life-saving vaccines, to pioneering cancer treatments, to the sequencing of the human genome.w When research stalls for lack of funding, opportunities are missed. Promising avenues go unexplored.

The passage of Proposition 14 would help to overcome those hurdles and create a streamlined process that delivers much-needed treatments to patients who have few options. How amazing would it be to be part of making medical history.I am so proud to be a member of Hadassah, which is not only leading the way in stem cell research but also doing its research in service to humanity. Together, we can make medical discoveries happen and continue to set the pace for the worldwide medical community.

I wish that my father-in-law was here to give you his final thumbs up.

Global Cell Banking Outsourcing Market: Overview

The global cell banking outsourcing market is likely to be driven by the rising demand for biopharmaceutical production targeting novel active sites, stem cell therapy, and gene therapy. A cell bank is a facility storing cells extracted from various organ tissue and body fluids so as to cater to the needs of the future. The cell banks make storage of cells with an elaborate characterization of the entire cell line as it reduces the possibilities of cross contamination. These benefits are estimated to fuel expansion of the global cell banking outsourcing market over the timeframe of assessment, from 2020 to 2030.

Read Report Overview - https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/cell-banking-outsourcing-market.html

Cell banking outsourcing industries engage testing, characterization, storage, and collection of tissues, cell lines, and the cells. These activities are done to assist in the production of biopharmaceuticals and in the research and development activities so as to ensure minimum adverse effects and high effectiveness. The procedure of the cell storage involves first proliferation of cells, which then multiplies in a huge number of identical cells and is then put inside cryovials safety for use in future. Cells are primarily utilized in the production of regenerative medicine. A surge in the number of cell banks together with the high demand for stem cell therapies is likely to work in favor of the global cell banking outsourcing market over the tenure of analysis, from 2020 to2030.

The global cell banking outsourcing market has been segmented on the basis of four important parameters, which are bank type, phase, cell type, and region.
