Global Stem Cells Group Collaborates with Guadalajara Hospital Angeles del Carmen
ISSCA’s training assists hospital in developing better protocols for gynecological treatments
MIAMI LAKES, Florida—The International Society for Stem Cell Application, a multi-disciplinary community of scientists and physicians collaborating to treat diseases and lessen human suffering through science, technology, and regenerative medicine, traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico in early February to collaborate with area physicians on how to utilize advancements in stem cell research and technology to find new solutions to health issues and concerns.
During ISSCA’s visit to Hospital Angeles del Carmen, physicians with the group partnered with Dr. Norma Patricia Ramos, director of the hospital’s gynecological department. During the two-day visit, ISSCA’s researchers and physicians provided valuable training and guidance on how stem cells can be used to develop better protocols for treating vaginal stenosis.
Vaginal stenosis is a condition that causes narrowing and/or loss of flexibility of the vagina and is a side effect of radiotherapy and/or genital surgery. It is often also accompanied by dryness and loss of resiliency of scar tissue.
The group reviewed new and effective treatment protocols available through stem cell therapies, including combining traditional CO2 laser treatments with stem cells harvested from adipose tissue.
The group also worked with Dr. Ramos and her team on new stem cell protocols to help women who have tried in vitro fertilization to get pregnant but have not experienced success due to a lack of ovarian reserves. The ISSCA group shared new research on the viability of utilizing stem cells from adipose tissue or bone marrow and reintegrating it into the ovaries using a laparoscopy with the goal of increasing ovarian reserves and increasing chances of pregnancy. Poor ovarian reserve (POR) is critical limiting factor for the success of any treatment modality for infertility, and new stem cell treatments provide a promising treatment protocol in increasing the quantity and quality of oocytes in women of reproductive age.
ISSCA is committed to partnering with physicians and researchers worldwide who have a vested interest in finding new solutions to improve treatments for any conditions. The group has an upcoming trip to Buenos Aires to partner with orthopedic doctors to discuss opportunities for stem cell therapies to improve treatment protocols in the field of orthopedics.

ISSCA Launches New Board Aimed at Connecting Professionals in Regenerative Medicine
The society’s board helps scientists and physicians in the field make connections to improve research and provide safer and more effective patient care
MIAMI LAKES, Florida— The International Association for Stem Cell Application, a multi-disciplinary community of scientists and physicians collaborating to treat diseases and lessen human suffering through science, technology, and regenerative medicine, has announced the launch of a new online board that will help to promote the organization’s goal of facilitating the interchange of information, research, and training between physicians and scientists across the globe.
The launch of the new board comes on the heels of ISSCA’s recent announcement of a new leadership team for the society, which has recognized the importance of more easily facilitating global connections between scientists and physicians working to use stem cell research, technology, and science to better human lives.
The board, located on ISSCA’s webpage at https://www.issca.us, serves as a one-stop location for practitioners in the field of stem cell research and technology to find other practitioners across the globe and easily make connections in order to help grow their professional network, exchange best practices and research, improve standards of quality, and standardized treatment protocols in this fast-growing area of medicine that is still in its infancy.
Because regenerative medicine is a new area of medicine, physicians and scientists in the field are largely self-taught without adherence to any standards. ISSCA’s goal is to act as a resource to this burgeoning field and to help practitioners receive proper training and to standardize treatment protocols in an effort to deliver safer and more effective treatments to patients. The launch of the new board will help the society further reach this goal.
Professionals practicing regenerative medicine are encouraged to become members of the society to help assure proper training in the field and compliance with international protocols. Membership into the society will allow practitioners to be featured in the new board and have access to valuable research to standardize their knowledge, access opportunities to become certified in the field, attend professional conferences, and network with other professionals with the same interests of improving the field of regenerative medicine.

MIAMI, Dec. 4, 2018—The International Society for Stem Cell Application (ISSCA) has released its 2019 regenerative medicine certification training course calendar, with programs scheduled in seven international cities and updated curriculum. ISSCA’s objective in 2019 is to provide enhanced educational qualifications to physicians looking for a new approach to treat patients suffering with chronic pain, severe injury, and degenerative conditions and diseases.
The two-day regenerative medicine training course, which teaches easy-to-follow protocols for harvesting adipose and bone marrow stem cells from patients in a clinical environment, will also feature new treatment basics involving allogeneic compounds including exosomes and other compounds derived from (umbilical) cord blood and amniotic fluid, allowing participating physicians to easily and efficiently add certification in cutting-edge regenerative medicine therapies to their practices.
Participating physicians learn how to harvest and isolate bone marrow and adipose-derived autologous stem cells to use in treating multiple conditions.
The two-day course begins with a four-hour lecture on advances in regenerative medicine. Participating physicians will receive more than 12 hours of hands-on training with live patients in protocols for obtaining stem cells from patients, applications that they can take back to their medical offices or clinics and begin using immediately.
Attendees will also receive 12 protocols in digital format to take with them, and gain knowledge and practical skills to easily add regenerative medicine therapies to their practices.
Physicians will also receive access to the online stem cell training course to review all content and procedures introduced in the 2-day clinical training course, patient forms and guidelines, procedure informed consent forms, didactic lectures, training booklets and more.
