A free event in honor of World Cord Blood Day: Dr. Anthony Filiano

Webinar
Targeting neuroinflammation with umbilical cord-derived cell therapies

Human umbilical cord blood and tissues are readily available and a rich source of cells with therapeutic potential, including the ability to modulate inflammation. In this encore Share the Science webinar held in honor of World Cord Blood Day, Dr. Filiano discusses two investigational cell therapies for inflammatory disease.

  • Potential use of cord blood monocytes as therapies. Dr. Filiano will highlight approaches and strategies taken at the Marcus Center for Cellular Cures at Duke to identify how cord blood monocytes can be used to treat diseases such as leukodystrophies, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis.
  • Potential use of cord-tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells to reprogram the immune system. Examine the novel mechanisms uncovered through research at the Marcus Center that suggest cord-tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells can reprogram the immune system.

Cord blood contains a rich source of immune-modulating components including stem cells, immune cells, and soluble factors. Recent work has demonstrated the efficacy of using cord-blood derived components to promote myelination and increase function in neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorder, and aging.

Register to learn more about this promising research that could pave the way for new treatments of neuroinflammation.

This webinar was originally recorded earlier this year and will be presented again with additional video content not seen during the first presentation.

About World Cord Blood Day

World Cord Blood Day started from a need to expand cord blood education globally. To date there have been over 40,000 cord blood transplants worldwide. Yet, sadly, most of the general public is not aware of the need to preserve this valuable natural resource. For this reason, World Cord Blood Day is organized & hosted by Save the Cord Foundation.

Principle Investigator & Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery Marcus Center for Cellular Cures (MC3) at Duke University

Dr. Filiano’s research looks at how cord blood- and cord tissue-derived cell therapies can be used to treat inflammatory disease, in particular inflammatory disorders of the brain. The Filiano Lab is interested in understanding the complex interactions between the immune system and nervous system with the intent to uncover novel therapeutic targets to combat diseases. Dr. Filiano received his education and training from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, D.Phil, and the University of Virginia, where he was a Hartwell Fellow.
