BioNews - Nevada doctor pleads not guilty of stem cell scam: A US doctor accused of implanting stem cells into chronically ill patients pleaded not guilty. Dr Ralph Conti, of Henderson, NV, has been accused of transplanting stem cells harvested from placental tissue into patients, at the direction of Alfred Sapse, who was falsely claiming to be a doctor.
Sapse, the director of StemCell Pharma Inc., who has never held a medical license from any US state, allegedly told patients he was a retired foreign physician, officials said. The company advertised its business to investors and patients as a cure for diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and the degenerative eye disease retinitis pigmentosa.
