 Save the Cord Foundation and WellSky are proud to welcome Dr. Curtis Cetrulo, Jr., as our featured speaker for our next edition of Share the Science on January 28th, 2021. Join us to hear Dr. Cetrulo present his amazing research regarding the use of hematopoietic stem cells in revolutionary reconstructive penis transplants. Share the Science is a free webinar series focused on the cord blood industry and the latest research in this field. As always, we invite both health professionals and the general public to join us for this unique online educational series.

While these are presented in a purely educational context, we would not recommend this webinar to young or sensitive viewers.*** Stem Cells: Use in Reconstructive TransplantationWhat role do stem cells have in reconstructive transplants? Vascularized composite allografts (VCAs) — transplants of the face, hand, and other extremities – offer great hope for those experiencing amputation, traumatic injury, or disfiguring disease. One obstacle to these procedures is the rejection of multiple tissue types from unrelated doors. Learn how hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) play a vital role as part of a broader immunosuppression approach that allows transplants of composite tissue types from unrelated donors to overcome rejection. Dr. Curtis Cetrulo practices cutting-edge adult and pediatric reconstructive microsurgery, as well as hand surgery, breast and burn reconstruction, and reconstruction of extremities and traumatic facial injuries. He presents numerous inspirational examples of how VCAs are changing lives. How has the use of HSCs changed lives? Dr. Cetrulo will present numerous examples from his work of how the use of HSCs has improved patient outcomes. Some of these cases have also been highlighted in the national media. The New York Times featured Dr. Cetrulo and his team in 2016 when they performed the world's first ever penis transplant. In 2019, The LA Times featured a series of articles highlighting Dr. Cetrulo and his team following a penis transplant performed on a soldier who had been injured by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Clearly, we still have much to learn about the use of HSCs in reconstructive transplants but thanks to Dr. Cetrulo's work we can see infinite possiblities for the use of these powerful stem cells. This is research which builds on the world of cord blood research and the use of cord blood stem cells in regenerative medicine. Understanding Dr. Cetrulo's work is key to this emerging field.

Share the Science: Regenerative Stem Cell Therapies for the Wounded Warrior - Dr. Lloyd Rose10/8/2020
 Save the Cord Foundation and WellSky are proud to welcome Dr. Lloyd Rose of US Army Medical Material Development Activity, as our featured speaker for our next edition of Share the Science on October 22nd, 2020. Join us to hear Dr. Rose present his research regarding regenerative stem cell therapies and how the US Department of Defense is harnessing this research to help injured soldiers. Recording now available . Click here to view. Share the Science is a free webinar series focused on the cord blood industry and the latest research in this field. As always, we invite both health professionals and the general public to join us for this unique online educational series. Learn more about this exciting educational series here. Department of Defense Harnessing Stem Cell TherapiesThe last two decades have seen great improvement in our ability to keep traumatically injured soldiers alive from wounds that previously would have proven fatal. However, the result has been an increase in severe functional deficits due to loss of tissue and limbs. Harnessing stem cell therapies to regenerate lost or damaged tissue holds out hope for restoring our Wounded Warriors to full functionality and improving their quality of life.
Register now to discover some of the extraordinary work the DoD is doing in cell therapy and regenerative medicine to address traumatic injuries, especially those suffered by Military personnel.

 Save the Cord Foundation and WellSky are proud to welcome Sairah Ahmed, M.D. from the University of Texas - MD Anderson Cancer Center, as our featured speaker for our next edition of Share the Science on September 24th, 2020. Join us to hear Dr. Ahmed present her research regarding CAR-T Cell therapy and the multiple constructs of CAR-T therapy, and when they are effective for the treatment of certain types of lymphoma. RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE: VIEW IT HERE. Share the Science is a free webinar series focused on the cord blood industry and the latest research in this field. As always, we invite both health professionals and the general public to join us for this unique online educational series. Learn more about this exciting educational series here. Latest Research: CAR-T Cell Therapy for LymphomaWe are thrilled to welcome Dr. Sairah Ahmed as our next featured speaker on Share the Science. We have had many requests from the Save the Cord community to highlight the latest research in CAR-T cell therapy and as it relates to cord blood. Indeed, this is a new and emerging area of scientific research with great promise. Given that we welcome not only healthcare professionals to our webinars but also the general public, we feel it is important to give you a brief overview of the basics regarding CAR-T cell therapy.
In this special webinar focused on CAR-T Cell Therapy, Dr. Ahmed will discuss how cord blood sources play a critical role in treating select lymphomas including the potential of using CAR-T cell therapy. This method of treatment shows particular promise in treating lymphomas that are not responding to other methods. During Dr. Ahmed's presentation she will highlight which patients are the best candidates for treatment with CAR-T therapy and how is CAR-T therapy different from autologous transplant for lymphoma. She will also discuss which types of lymphoma can be treated with CAR-T therapy. The toxicity specific to CAR-T therapy, as well as novel lymphoma cellular therapy treatment from cord blood sources will also be discussed.
