Stem Cell Therapy For Parkinsons Disease | Stem Cell Malaysia stemcellmalaysia.com Stem cell therapy for Parkinson's Disease is still under research and study. However, there are impressive results by patients using oral placenta as stem cell therapy for their Parkinson's disease. An 81 years old Asian with Stage 2 Parkinson's disease observed cessation of tremor after only 4 weeks of oral placenta stem cell therapy.

MANILA, Philippines - A ranking official of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) considers immoral the embryonic stem cell therapy reportedly being used by politicians and actors for aesthetic purposes. In an interview with Radio Veritas, CBCP-Episcopal Commission on Bioethics Chairman and Malolos Bishop Jose Oliveros said this medical procedure is against the belief of the Church. He said they are still assessing if the same could be said for stem cells from animals. Pero yung sinasabi nila na pampabata sa mga politician at celebrities na sumailalim sa stem cell therapy ay immoral. Puwede namang ma-improve ang mukha ng isang tao, but it should be moral. Kapag gumamit ka ng immoral ay mali na yun, he said. Embryo is still a maturing fetus. He said the CBCP will come out with a pastoral statement regarding the matter once they are able to clarify certain matters with the Department of Health (DOH). The DOH earlier warned people from using stem cells from aborted babies and human embryos. The Philippine government will not allow the use of aborted fetuses or human embryosThere is a need to ensure that the biological raw materials are documented and validated and follow infection-free procedures, … Continue reading →

The unique cells have the capacity to support nerve fiber growth that preserves a pathway between the nose and the brain. Earlier studies consisting of laboratory animals have shown that OECs can be helpful in regeneration of the parts of nerve cells that pass on signals (axons). OECs were used as a bridge linking damaged and undamaged tissues in the spinal cord. A Phase 1 trial in humans with spinal cord injuries has determined that the procedure is safe. The current study, published in the journal Brain, is the first double-blinded, randomized, controlled study to examine the effectiveness of these transplants to increase function in spinal cord injuries. The trial used animals with spontaneous and accidental spinal cord injuries. This method resembled closely the way the procedure could potentially work for human patients. … Continue reading →

Public release date: 21-Nov-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Anne Grapin-Botton anne.grapin-botton@sund.ku.dk (45) 29-63-43-98 University of Copenhagen Scientists from The Danish Stem Cell Center (DanStem) at the University of Copenhagen are contributing important knowledge about how stem cells develop best into insulin-producing cells. In the long term this new knowledge can improve diabetes treatment with cell therapy. The results have just been published in the scientific journal Cell Reports. Stem cells are responsible for tissue growth and tissue repair after injury. Therefore, the discovery that these vital cells grow better in a three-dimensional environment is important for the future treatment of disease with stem cell therapy. "We can see that the quality of the cells produced two-dimensionally is not good enough. By putting the cells in a three-dimensional environment and giving them the proper growth conditions, we get much better results. Therefore we are developing a three-dimensional culture medium in gelatine in the laboratory to mimic the one inside an embryo," says Professor Anne Grapin-Botton from DanStem at the University of Copenhagen, who produced the results together with colleagues from Switzerland and Belgium. The international research team hopes that the new knowledge about three-dimensional cell growth environments can … Continue reading →
