Fundació Bosch i Gimpera hasn't added a story.
ENGLISH: (For SPANISH see below). I am aiming to raise funding for medical research into making muscle stem cells, a project inspired by Alex, who has type II Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Alex currently has trouble holding his body upright because of his spinal and back muscles wasting away. The methodology we are developing may have future application not just for Alex but world-wide for many muscle diseases.
I am leading a research project at the University of Barcelona, Faculty of Medicine to develop the technology, a method, to make muscle and motor neuron stem cells. See my web page: http://pluripotencylaboratory.wordpress.com/
Pluripotency Laboratory
The Pluripotency Laboratory works
towards advancing iPS cell technology for making high quality iPS
cells closer to ground state pluripotency for the study of human
disease and future clinical application (by Pluripotency Laboratory)
I have funding from the Ministry of Science, here in Spain, but
it is not enough for the project. I aim to raise up to 30K euros to
help the work into how to make muscle stem cells for Alex from cord
blood that is HLA matched to Alex. Once known how to make the muscle
stem cells (1st year) we will apply to the hospital ethics committee
here to make clinical grade muscle stem cells for permission (2nd and
3rd year). The research will aim to benefit Alex but in the long term
it could be applied to all suffers of Spinal Muscular Atrophy and
other motor neuron and muscle cell diseases such as Muscular
Dystrophy, as a cell based therapy. It will also enable the
development of new technologies to make motor neuron stem cells to
treat spinal muscular atrophy.
How you can help: If you are interested in helping developing
treatments for Spinal Muscular Atrophy and muscular dystrophy, please
make a donation via FundRazr or contact me. The money will be held by
the Foundation Bosch and Gimpera, who sponsor this project, attached
to the University of Barcelona, Faculty of Medicine and all money
raised will be used dircetly for the research costs for the muscle
stem cell project.
Thank you!
Mike Edel.
Felices fiestas y Feliz Anyo Nuevo a todas
Recaudando
fondos para una investigacion que estamos realizando ahora.
TITULO: Hacer células madre musculares para ayudar en la
distrofia muscular y atrophia Muscular Espinal (AME).
Patrocinado y apoyado por la Fundación Bosch i Gimpera, Barcelona.

missió que la
societat demana a les universitats: transferència de

Estoy intentando recaudar fondos para investigación biomédica
para hacer células madre musculares, un proyecto inspirado por ALEX,
un niño pequeño de Poblenou, Barcelona, que tiene atrophia Muscular
Espinal (AME) l tipo II. En este momento Alex tiene dificultades para
aguantar su cuerpo derecho por que los músculos de su espalda y su
columna se están desgastando progresivamente. Estoy dirigiendo este
proyecto de investigación en la Universidad de Barcelona, en la
Facultad de Medicina, para desarrollar la tecnologia, el método, para
hacer células madre musculares y de neuronas motoras. Ved mi pagina web:
Laboratorio de Pluripotencialidad
El Laboratorio de
Pluripotencialidad trabaja para avanzar la tecnologia de células madre
para hacer células madre pluripotenciales inducidas (iPS) de alta
calidad para el estudio de las enfermedades humanas y la aplicación
clínica futura (por el Laboratorio de Pluripotencialidad).

Tengo financiación del Ministerio de Ciencia español pero no es
suficiente para el proyecto. Mi objetivo es recaudar 30.000 euros para
ayudar en el trabajo de hacer las células madre musculares para Alex a
partir de células de cordón umbilical compatibles en HLA con Alex.
Cuando sepamos hacer las células madre musculares (1er año)
solicitaremos permiso a los comités éticos de los hospitales de aquí
para células madre musculares de grado clínico para intentar ayudas a
sus desgastados músculos (2o y 3er año). La investigación esta
orientada a ayudar a Alex pero a largo plazo también se podría aplicar
como terapia celular a pacientes con distrofia muscular.
Como puedes ayudar: si estas interesado en ayudar a Alex y a
desarrollar tratamientos para la distrofia muscular, por favor, haz
una donación vía
