International Center for Adult Stem Cell Education Debuts at Spinal Cord Injury Symposium in Greece
WASHINGTON, May 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Center for Adult Stem
Cell Education (www.Adultstemcelleducation.com) today announced that it has
officially launched a global communications and government-political affairs
program at the 3rd International Spinal Cord Injury Symposium, Olfactory
Mucosa Autografts (OMA) and Rehabilitation to be held today, May 9th, through
May 10th in Argostolli, Kefalonia,Greece. The ICASCE will be headquartered
inFort Worth, Texas, with operational offices inWashington, D.C. (contact:
Jack Wynn, 703-623-4288; jackwynn@comcast.net) andBangkok, Thailand.
Donald Margolis, ICASCE Chairman and Founder (donmargolis@gmail.com;
215-764-6312), will be one of the guest speakers at the symposium. In 2003,
Mr. Margolis became the FIRST person in the world to create a company to treat
dying heart patients with adult stem cells. The guest of honor at the
symposium will be pioneer Portuguese neuropathologist Dr. Carlos Lima, who has
developed the successful OMA transplant surgical procedure for treating spinal
cord injury by harvesting patients' own stem cells from their noses, by which
those cells are then transplanted into the sites of the spinal cord breaks.
ICASCE is a public affairs educational organization seeking to educate and
inform the world about the research and treatment of diseases using adult stem
cells.
According to Mr. Margolis, "ICASCE was recently (April '08) founded to
educate the American public on the potential of adult stem cells for
diagnosing, treating, curing and preventing disease. Thousands of people are
dying unnecessarily each month because they don't know there are adult stem
cell treatments available. The fact is that adult stem cells offer promising
prospects for effective treatments and possible cures for people with heart
conditions, spinal cord injuries, and a host of incapacitating diseases such
as diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's."
