16-11-2010: The journal Stem Cells has announced Dr. Cinzia Rota as the winner of the annual Stem Cells Young Investigator Award. Co-sponsored by the International Stem Cell Symposium, the $10,000 prize is annually given to a young scientist who is the principal author of a research paper published in Stem Cells and judged to be most important by the Journal editors.
Dr. Rota, from the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Bergamo, Italy, was awarded the prize for her paper entitled 'Life-Sparing Effect of Human Cord Blood-Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Experimental Acute Kidney Injury.'
"The translation of pre-clinical results into therapies will be an important aspect of stem cell research over the next ten years" said Rota. "Students entering this field should know that it is fascinating, with the opportunity to produce results that can potentially be translated in clinical practice, providing hope in areas where traditional medicine does not offer therapeutic opportunities."
Dr. Rota's award winning paper investigated the potential of human cord blood to cure acute kidney injury. The research revealed the potential for of human cord-blood stem cells as a future cell therapy.
"I think that one of the most important things for the public to understand is the different characteristics and regenerative potentials of human embryonic and adult stem cells; that these cells are not interchangeable, and that one or the other may be better for certain clinical applications," said Rota. "Therefore, detailed studies on ESCs, iPS cells, and adult stem cell are all necessary to provide for future cell therapy applications."
