Spinal Cord Mass Arising From Neural Stem Cell Therapy

Posted: Published on July 9th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise Charlottesville, VA (July 8, 2014). A spinal mass was identified in a young woman with complete spinal cord injury 8 years after she had undergone implantation of olfactory mucosal cells in the hopes of regaining sensory and motor function. The case is reported and discussed in Autograft-derived spinal cord mass following olfactory mucosal cell transplantation in a spinal cord injury patient. Case report, by Brian J. Dlouhy, MD, Olatilewa Awe, MD, Rajesh C. Rao, MD, Patricia A. Kirby, MD, and Patrick W. Hitchon, MD, published today online, ahead of print, in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine (http://thejns.org/doi/full/10.3171/2014.5.SPINE13992). The authors state that this is the first report of a spinal cord mass arising from spinal cord cell transplantation and neural stem cell therapy, and they caution that physicians should be vigilant in their follow-up of patients who undergo stem cell interventions. In its natural state, the olfactory mucosa lines the roof of the nasal cavity, adjacent to the respiratory mucosa that lines the lower nasal cavity. In addition to smell receptor neurons, the olfactory mucosa contains progenitor cells (also known as adult stem cells) and olfactory ensheathing cellsboth of which have been shown … Continue reading →

Among consumers with a positive opinion about biotechnology, the following reasons emerged: Improve nutrition Allow for lower use of pesticides Improve crop yields Many experts agree that biotechnology has a positive role to play in food production. "Biotechnology is a critical tool for improving nutrition, positively impacting the environment and increasing food production to meet the world's needs," stated Martina Newell-McGloughlin, director of the International Biotechnology program at the University of California-Davis. A closer look at the data: 58 percent are familiar with the term GMO, up 14 percent over 2013 53 percent are familiar with the term biotechnology, up 13 percent over 2013 78 percent of those familiar with the term biotechnology say it is important that food production supports the long-term health of the environment 71 percent believe GMO products should be labeled, up 10 … Continue reading →
