Mesoblast’s stem cell therapy is under review by the FDAFDA for treatment of children with steroid-refractory aGVHDaGVHD. Remestemcel-LRemestemcel-L is being developed for rare pediatric and adult inflammatory conditions. The product is comprised of culture-expanded MSCs derived from bone marrow of an unrelated donor (allogeneic) that is administered in a series of intravenous infusions. The therapy is thought to have immunomodulatory properties which counteract inflammatory processes including down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increasing production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and enabling recruitment of anti-inflammatory cells already in the body to the diseased tissue. Remestemcel-L is previously known under the product name Prochymal by the company Osiris Therapeutics. In 2013 Mesoblast acquired Prochymal and Osiris’ culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cell business.

Drafted by Oklahoma, Russell Westbrook showed a glimpse of his talent in 2009 when he scored his very first triple double. Eventually, he became part of the season’s ‘NBA All Rookie First Team,’ and was placed at number four in the line-up. During Oklahoma’s second season, his team got eliminated in the first round after losing to ‘Los Angeles Lakers.’ However, Russell cemented his place in the team with an average of 16.1 points per game.
In the 2011 ‘Western Conference Tournament,’ he played a big role in helping his team reach the finals. In the same year, the coaches included him in the team for the 2012 ‘NBA All Star Game.’ Thanks to his exuberant performance, his team reached the finals for the first time since the franchise was reintroduced. Westbrook ended the 2012-2013 season with an average of 23.2 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game, which was magnificent.
Due to a knee injury, he missed the first two games of the 2013-14 season. In his comeback match against ‘New York Knicks,’ he scored 14 points and helped his team achieve an impressive win. Russell went for arthroscopic surgery soon after the game, and made a comeback in February 2014. The surgery broke his long-term streak of never missing a game for his team in a regular season.
In a match against ‘New Orleans Pelicans’ in 2015, Westbrook broke his previous career high record of 45 points by scoring 48 points. In the same year, he returned to the ‘All Star Tournament’ after a long hiatus due to surgeries. He scored 41 points and was later named the ‘All Star MVP.’ Thereafter, he went on a dream run in which he scored six triple doubles in just eight games. Although his team was eliminated from the playoffs, Westbrook played incredibly well and averaged 28 points per game.
In the 2015-16 season, he scored 18 triple doubles, a record which was previously held by Magic Johnson. He also achieved 18 triple doubles. In the 2016-17 season, Westbrook managed to achieve his third career 50 point triple doubles, and became the first player in ‘NBA’ history to achieve the feat.

Timothy Theodore “Tim” Duncan is a professional basketball player who has the distinction of being the only player in NBA history to be selected to both All-NBA and All-Defensive Teams during each of his first 13 seasonsTimothy Theodore “Tim” Duncan is a professional basketball player who has the distinction of being the only player in NBA history to be selected to both All-NBA and All-Defensive Teams during each of his first 13 seasons. The athletic player who started playing basketball only during his freshman year of high school currently plays for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA). As a youngster he was more into swimming; his sister was an Olympic level swimmer and he too aspired to follow in her footsteps. His parents were very encouraging and he was on the way to realize his dream when the only swimming pool in his hometown was destroyed by a hurricane. Disappointed, though not disheartened he stared focusing on playing basketball and soon became an excellent player who won several awards even before graduating from college. He was the No.1 pick in the 1997 NBA Draft. He rose to become one of the greatest players in NBA history through his consistent performance and leadership qualities. He is most famous for playing at the power forward position but can also play center. He is not just a great player, but also a great human being who believes in giving back to the society—he created the Tim Duncan Foundation to raise awareness and funds for education, youth sports, and health issues.
