Provia Labs, Grace Century’s dental stem cell storage system portfolio project, has been features in an article on CNN on how dental cells could represent the next stage in the development of the emerging science of stem cell treatment.
The article, which is a lengthy and comprehensive feature, includes contributions from Dr. Joseph C. Laning, chief technology officer of Provia Laboratories LLC. The piece tries to balance the increasingly rigorous scientific case for the increased potential of stem cells as a method of treating complex disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS) and traumatic brain injury, with some more cautious views from the scientific community.
Scott Wolf, President and Director of Research for Grace Century, commented “The fact that our portfolio project, Provia labs, has made it to CNN, simply serves to highlight the traction that stem cells and their significant future potential for the treatment of many conditions has gained in the medical world. Whilst the article includes the views of some of the more skeptical members of the community, it should be noted that The President of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Jade Miller endorses the storage of baby teeth / Wisdom teeth and has done so himself for his family. In addition, the opinion of professional medical bodies is no guarantee of anything as Dr. N (Advisor for Provia) discovered for himself with regard to the National Bone Registry as we reported on our blog article of last May.”
