Tissue Engineering and Cellular Replacement in Diabetes Treatment

Prof. Camillo Ricordi
Head, Diabetes Research Institute, Miami
Distinguished Professor of Medicine, University of Miami

Islet transplants offer similar results to those of other organ transplants in terms of long-term outcomes, although there is still a need for life-long assumption of anti-rejection drugs. New strategies for more effective diabetes treatments focus on engineering a mini-endocrine pancreas in the abdominal cavity, using 3D scaffolds and local protective systems, in order to avoid systemic anti-rejection drugs.

Metastatic Prostate Cancer: efficacy of Combination Therapy

Prof. Fred Saad
Chief of Urology and Director of G-U Oncology University of Montreal, Canada

The department of urology at the University of Montreal, chaired by Prof. Saad, for many years has predominantly been treating prostate cancers and in particular those that evolve in bone metastases. For this reason it has participated in all major trials for the study of drugs for the treatment of metastatic patients, including the latest, based on the administration of Radium 233. According to the outcome of the study, the compound improves survival and reduces bone and spinal complications.

CGRP antibodies and other new treatments for migraine

Prof. Alan Rapoport
Clinical professor of Neurology, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA

CGRP (Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide) is a substance that triggers pain in migraine. All of the drugs that have been used to neutralize it so far have had major side effects. Currently, monoclonal anti-CGRP has proven to be highly effective and causes few side effects. However, pending the on-going drug trial, new stimulation techniques and new, effective methods for known drug administration have become available.
