In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...
PHOENIX, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/29/07 -- Medistem Laboratories (OTCBB: MDSM) (FRANKFURT: S2U) announced today preclinical proof-of-concept studies demonstrating the
positive potential of the company's MDS-786 candidate drug for lung cancer.
The findings were presented at the 13th Annual Meeting of the International
Society for Cellular Therapy that took place June 24-27, 2007 in Sydney,
Australia. The presentation, entitled "Differentiation and Inhibition of
Tumor Cells by Cord Blood Stem Cells" reviewed the ability of MDS-786 to
induce a process called "differentiation" in which tumor cells are coaxed
into transforming into non-tumor cells through the use of a placentally
derived product.
Thomas Ichim, Medistem's Chief of Scientific Development and primary author
of the paper, stated, "To date, treatment options for patients with lung
cancer are primarily limited to highly toxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy
approaches, which in many cases are not successful. Through harnessing
molecular mechanisms that signal stem cell maturation in normal cells, we
are inducing a process that drives malignant cells to convert into
non-malignant cells." He continued, "The process of inducing malignant
cells to transform into normal cells has been proven clinically as a viable
treatment for cancer and is used in the treatment of patients with Acute
Promyelocytic Leukemia. By applying such a process to solid tumors, we
believe numerous therapeutic applications may exist that lack the toxicity
of current approaches."
The National Cancer Institute estimates that over 10 million people are
diagnosed with cancer annually. While there are some viable options today
for treating some forms of cancer, Medistem is hopeful that MDS-786 can
begin to address this dreaded disease in a non-toxic manner by allowing
stem cells and the immune system to work in concert with one another to
achieve homeostasis.
