This is poster number thirty-four and the title is Mouse Model Pioneers New Stem Cell Therapy. This poster has a lavender background and shows a circle of treatment with the sequence of steps used in a new form of stem cell therapy using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. The process starts with a sickly looking mouse at 12:00 and going full circle to result in a healthy mouse. Progressing in a reverse clockwise manner starting at the eleven o’clock position there is the word Start in pink letters and under it is a prostrate cartoon-like white mouse drawn with droopy ears and whiskers and a limp tail. The caption under this mouse in black letters is Sick Mouse. The mouse is also superimposed on a thick muted pink arrow gradationally changes hue from solid pink to muted pink and is pointing from twelve to nine o’clock. At ten o’clock on that arrow several white rectangular cells are shown with the caption Collect Skin Cells. At nine o’clock the arrow ends pointing to the words Add Induction Factors. A second arrow starts at nine o’clock and progresses to six o’clock and gradationally changes hue from muted pink to light green. At eight o’clock there is a diagram of three yellow cell ovals growing in a red gel filled Petri dish with the caption Generate Stem Cells. This arrow head is at the six o’clock position and points to a black double helix with the caption Repair Cells. The third arrow starts at six o’clock and points to three o’clock changing hue from muted green gradationally to a brighter light green and points to the caption Inject Corrected Cells. At four o’clock there are drawings of dark red muscle, blood and nerve tissues with the caption Differentiate Cells. The final arrow starts at three o’clock and goes toward twelve o’clock. It changes from a light green to bright green at the arrow head. At two o’clock there is a Petri dish with red gel and emanating from it are many rows of red and yellow cells filling the arrow proceeding toward the healthy mouse. At 12:00 there is the original white mouse after treatment with alert eyes, strong tail, erect whiskers and the caption Healthy Mouse. Above the mouse is the word Finish in bright green letters. In the center of the circle of treatment are the words Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS) written in black with white shadowing. If available, gently used copies can be requested from the NIH Office of Animal Care and Use at SecOACU@od.nih.gov. The subtitle at the bottom of the poster is, NIH Animal Research Advisory Committee, 301-496-5424. The DHHS, NIH and OACU logos are also shown on the poster.
