Americans for Cures

Our mission is to support fellow advocates in the fight for stem cell research and cures and #ReportBackToThePublic:

[Fink Lab @FinkLab]

#FinkLab PhD students are at #ISSCR2019! Thank you @Americans4Cures for sponsoring us! We’re looking forward to day 2 of the meeting! 🧫

“We have the public support on our side, the question is how do we translate that to more funding for research?” asks Jason Stewart of ⁦@Americans4Cures⁩ at #ISSCR2019

[California Institute for Regenerative Medicine @CIRMnews]

Fighting for the future of #stemcell research in California. Rallying the public to keep @CIRMnews going #patientadvocate @ISSCR @UCLAstemcell @Americans4Cures https://t.co/NVudJN4f3j

Last week .@realDonaldTrump banned fetal tissue research in the NIH & cut funding for projects across America

This research helped develop the MMR, Hepatitis & chickenpox vaccines

Join us & protect funding for this critical research

Key backer of California stem cell agency, Robert Klein, cites moral need to add $5 billion to agency in wake of Trump's fetal research restrictions. @cirmnews #stemcells https://t.co/MgWoaE1LHj

From @UCSD's Stem Cell Program: Dr. Alysson Muotri discusses “Curing Leukemia: From Zebrafish to Alpha Clinics” as part of their #StemCell Channel series launched via @uctelevision: https://t.co/QVOk7AaVpu

Yesterday the President discontinued all research within the NIH involving fetal tissue & cancelled funding for research projects across the country.

Stand with us and demand that President Trump overturn his ban on funding for this critical research

Another disgraceful attack on science from the Trump Administration.

There is no question. Millions of people will suffer while uninformed politicians play games with their future.

.@CIRMnews approves funding for its 54th clinical trial-- a trial targeting Type 1 Diabetes (#T1D), a chronic autoimmune disease affecting +1 mill Americans. @UCSF researchers use an innovative approach to address the limitations of islet cell transplants: https://t.co/e8pabaCi78

#Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia. @MIT researchers are the first to perform a comprehensive analysis of genes altered by the disease. Their study, published in @nature, could offer potential new drug targets for Alzheimer’s: https://t.co/uVMgRxLsMB

[Americans for Cures @Americans4Cures]

.@UW researchers develop a new approach that uses scientific “light sabers” to keep proteins intact and functional for tissue engineering. They utilize molecular tethers to ultimately ensure that cells are receiving different environmental signals: https://t.co/d6oenKUj4l

#SpotlightSaturday Dr. Arnold Kriegsten, a member of our Scientific Advisory Board. At his @UCSF lab, researchers find common genetic changes in specific brain cells that may contribute to the severity of #autism in children and young adults: https://t.co/lI6yEwTl8Q

[Americans for Cures @Americans4Cures]

The adrenal glands in our body produce hormones (chemical messengers that control major bodily functions). Using mice models, @Inserm scientists find that women may be more susceptible to adrenal gland disorders due to #stemcell differences: https://t.co/Oe9EfN5UGd

[Americans for Cures @Americans4Cures]

How can fish help advance #stemcell science?

A @CIRMnews funded team from @UCSanDiego use zebrafish to gain insight into blood #stemcell production. Their discovery is a step towards a future of having substitutes for bone marrow transplants: https://t.co/niYPQtmAI1

[Americans for Cures @Americans4Cures]

Building upon their previous research, @MountSinaiNYC scientists use animal models to demonstrate that Cdx2 cells, placental #stemcells, can regenerate healthy cardiac cells after heart attack. https://t.co/CknN4Y07CN

[Americans for Cures @Americans4Cures]

“Doubly secured” --- @LMU_Muenchen researchers use CRISPR technology to demonstrate a double lock protection mechanism utilized by crucial cellular switches during #stemcell development in the brain: https://t.co/t5Vo02HG7t

[Americans for Cures @Americans4Cures]

Researchers from @RutgersU identify a link between brain and gut #stemcells. They identify a growth factor common to multiple adult #stemcell populations, and essential for cognitive function and renewing of the small intestine lining in adults: https://t.co/8BQuEEiovj

[Americans for Cures @Americans4Cures]

When something that is meant to heal may be causing harm-- German researchers discover that a certain group of cancer drugs activate and promote colorectal cancer #stemcells. Published in @NatureComms, read more on this research here: https://t.co/D8Obt3tqEK

[Americans for Cures @Americans4Cures]

By utilizing #stemcell lines, @UBuffalo researchers identify the first human-specific fusion gene (two gene hybrid) that protects neurons against amyloid beta protein buildup, a hallmark of #Alzheimer’s disease: https://t.co/VEpNOLIRYb
