Stem Cell Therapy | Cellular Prolotherapy | Caring Medical

Posted: Published on September 19th, 2015

Home Stem Cell Therapy | Cellular Prolotherapy Ross Hauser, MD Ross Hauser, MD: the use of Stem Cell Therapy in the treatment of joint and spine degeneration. Stem cell therapy is exploding in the medical field, and for good reason. Stem cells have the potential to regenerate into any type of body tissue. The amazing thing about stem cells is that when you inject them into the body, they know what kinds of cells your body needs for example, meniscus cells or cartilage cells. It is a very exciting time for medicine, especially in the field of regenerative medicine. In our office we often refer to this as Cellular Prolotherapy. In Stem Cell Therapy we use a persons own healing cells from bone marrow, fat, and blood (alone or in various combinations) and inject them straight to the area which has a cellular deficiency. The goal is the same: to stimulate the repair of injured tissues. Stem cells aid in fibroblastic proliferation where cell growth, proteosynthesis, reparation, the remodeling of tissues, and chondrocyte proliferation occurs. Our bone marrow contains stem cells,also termed mesenchymal stem cells and progenitor cells, among other names. These immature cells have the ability to become tissues … Continue reading →

Multiple sclerosis – NHS Choices

Posted: Published on September 19th, 2015

Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) affectsnerves in the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of symptoms including problems with muscle movement, balance and vision. Each nerve fibre in the brain and spinal cord is surrounded by a layer of protein called myelin, which protects the nerve and helps electrical signals from the braintravel to the rest of the body. In MS, the myelin becomes damaged. This disrupts the transfer of these nerve signals, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, such as: Read more about the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Around eight out of 10 people with MS are diagnosed with the relapsing remitting type of MS. Someone with relapsing remitting MS will have flare-ups of symptoms, known as relapses. These can last from a few days to a few months. These will be followed by periods where symptoms are mild or disappear altogether. This is known as remission and can last for days, weeks or sometimes months. Usually after around 15 years, around half of people with relapsing remitting MS will go on to develop secondary progressive MS. In secondary progressive MS, symptoms gradually worsen over time. Some people may still have relapses, but without full recovery from … Continue reading →

Gene Therapy Clinical Trials Worldwide – A B E D I A

Posted: Published on September 17th, 2015

Welcome to The Journal of Gene Medicine Clinical Trial site, the most comprehensive source of information on worldwide gene therapy clinical trials available on the internet. From this page you may access the following: Charts and Tables Charts and tables showing the number of approved, ongoing or completed clinical trials worldwide. Data is available for: Interactive Database A database with detailed information on individual trials. Data search is available for: The data were compiled and are regularly updated from official agency sources (RAC, GTAC etc..), the published literature, presentations at conferences and from information kindly provided by investigators or trial sponsors themselves. Information on the trials performed in the United States is derived directly from the OBA/RAC website. Elsewhere, the information is not so readily available. and in some countries regulatory agencies simply do not disclose any information. Consequently, information on some trials is incomplete. We have adopted as standard procedure the inclusion of all trials where the country and disease addressed is known, even if no other details are available. While it is not entirely satisfactory to have information missing on the type of gene used and the vector etc..., it does have the advantage of providing a more … Continue reading →

Stem Cell Treatment May Help Ease Osteoarthritis Pain …

Posted: Published on September 17th, 2015

Last year, Patricia Beals was told she'd need a double knee replacement to repair her severely arthritic knees or she'd probably spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Hoping to avoid surgery, Beals, 72, opted instead for an experimental treatment that involved harvesting bone marrow stem cells from her hip, concentrating the cells in a centrifuge and injecting them back into her damaged joints. "Almost from the moment I got up from the table, I was able to throw away my cane," Beals says. "Now I'm biking and hiking like a 30-year-old." A handful of doctors around the country are administering treatments like the one Beals received to stop or even reverse the ravages of osteoarthritis. Stem cells are the only cells in the body able to morph into other types of specialized cells. When the patient's own stem cells are injected into a damaged joint, they appear to transform into chondrocytes, the cells that go on to produce fresh cartilage. They also seem to amplify the body's own natural repair efforts by accelerating healing, reducing inflammation, and preventing scarring and loss of function. Christopher J. Centeno, M.D., the rehab medicine specialist who performed Beals' procedure, says the … Continue reading →

Stem Cell Basics: Potential uses of human stem cells

Posted: Published on September 17th, 2015

There are many ways in which human stem cells can be used in research and the clinic. Studies of human embryonic stem cells will yield information about the complex events that occur during human development. A primary goal of this work is to identify how undifferentiated stem cells become the differentiated cells that form the tissues and organs. Scientists know that turning genes on and off is central to this process. Some of the most serious medical conditions, such as cancer and birth defects, are due to abnormal cell division and differentiation. A more complete understanding of the genetic and molecular controls of these processes may yield information about how such diseases arise and suggest new strategies for therapy. Predictably controlling cell proliferation and differentiation requires additional basic research on the molecular and genetic signals that regulate cell division and specialization. While recent developments with iPS cells suggest some of the specific factors that may be involved, techniques must be devised to introduce these factors safely into the cells and control the processes that are induced by these factors. Human stem cells are currently being used to test new drugs. New medications are tested for safety on differentiated cells generated … Continue reading →

Genetics in Georgia | New Georgia Encyclopedia

Posted: Published on September 16th, 2015

The recent sequencing of the human genome has accelerated scientific discoveries in genetics related to medicine and animal and plant science. Research universities in Georgia, supported by government funding and collaborations with private industry, conduct leading-edge research that contributes to improved prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of genetically caused diseases. The Georgia Research Alliance, a university, business, and government partnership, has been a key supporter of genetics research through eminent scholars, research laboratories and equipment, and technology incubators. Newborn Genetics Screening The state of Georgia has paid for newborn genetics screening since 1978. The program, developed in collaboration with the Emory University School of Medicine's Department of Human Genetics and Genetics Laboratory, tests all Georgia newborns for thirteen inherited diseases, including metabolic diseases. Emory, located in Atlanta, is one of the nation's leading research and treatment centers for inherited diseases, including lysosomal enzyme diseases, fragile X syndrome, and Down syndrome. Emory scientists are leaders in developing new enzyme replacement therapies for children born with Gaucher disease and Fabry disease, screening and treatment for maple syrup urine disease, and FISH technology (fluorescence in situ hybridization, which allows physicians to look for chromosomal abnormalities under a microscope). Emory's large staff of genetics counselors … Continue reading →
