What do you think about using discarded bone as a source of stem cells? Let us know in the comments below. CLEVELAND, Ohio -- To make room for the metal and plastic of a hip replacement, surgeons have to remove and throw away tissue and bone. Now a team of researchers, including an orthopedic surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic and a former PhD candidate at Case Western Reserve University, has found what might prove to be a rich new source of adult stem cells amidst those normally discarded parts of the old joint. These stem cells, which differ from those that come from the bone marrow, are great at building new tissue, including bone and cartilage, said Dr. Ulf Knothe, orthopedic surgeon at the Clinic and the leading clinical scientist on the study, which was published online last week in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine. The cells come from the periosteum, or the soft tissue adhering to the surface of the bone like a skin, he said. They are called, unsurprisingly, periosteum-derived stem cells, or PDCs. Knothes research team had shown in lab tests in the past that PDCs can regenerate bone and cartilage, but the cells are difficult to access. … Continue reading →

Few medical discoveries have held the great promise of stem cells to regenerate nerves, organs and tissue damaged by disease, heredity or injury. Basically, the stem cells could replicate any other cell in the body, offering immense hope that were still anxiously waiting to be realized of curing Alzheimers, making damaged spinal cords whole, treating kidney, liver and lung disease and making damaged hearts whole.
