NurOwn(TM) patent pending technology is based on discoveries made by the team led by prominent neurologist Professor Eldad Melamed, Head of Neurology at Rabin Medical Center The Rabin Medical Center is a medical center in Petah Tikva, Israel. It is currently the second largest medical center in Israel after Sheba Medical Center, having lost the title of largest in 2006. , and expert cell biologist Dr. Daniel Offen, Head of the Neuroscience Laboratory at the Felsenstein Medical Research Center of Tel-Aviv University, enabling the differentiation of bone marrow derived stem cells stem cells, unspecialized human or animal cells that can produce mature specialized body cells and at the same time replicate themselves. Embryonic stem cells are derived from a blastocyst (the blastula typical of placental mammals; see embryo), which is very young into functional neurons and astrocytes astrocytes (as´trōsī´ts), n a large, star-shaped cell found in certain tissues of the nervous system. A mass of astrocytes is called astroglia. See also astrocytoma. , as demonstrated in animal models.

About Stem Cell Therapy stem cell therapy Cell therapy Molecular medicine A technology in which a person's own cells–eg, neuronal stem cells are triggered to revert to their primitive embryonic form, then redifferentiate into mature cells of various organs Stem cells are non-specialized cells with a remarkable potential for both self-renewal and differentiation into cell types with a specialized function, such as muscle, blood or brain cells. Stem cells can be harvested from fetal or embryonic tissue or from adult tissue reservoirs such as bone marrow. Use of embryonic stem cells is at the center of significant ethical and moral debate. In contrast, use of adult stem cells does not provoke the same moral or political controversy. Stem cell therapy aims to "cure" disease by replacing the diseased cells with healthy cells derived from stem cells. This approach has the potential to revolutionize medicine and, if successful, the implied commercial opportunities are great. Currently, scientists are exploring both embryonic stem cells (ESC See escape character and escape key. See also ESC/P. ESC - escape ) and adult stem cells (ASC ASC Ambulatory surgery center, see there ) as the potential basis for multiple cell therapy products.
