Umbilical cord blood transplant saving lives from deadly diseases
Cancer, which was supposed to be an incurable disease now, can be cured if detected at the right time. The rapid advancement of science and medicine has opened wide vistas before us for the treatment of deadly diseases like AIDS, Neurotic diseases and genetic disorders. In many cases, your doctor may suggest a stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplantation as a possible solution for their illness. Also, a transplant of umbilical cord blood can be a good option. These stem cells are cells t... Readmore
Adult Stem cells for treatment of cardiac patients
It has been proven through an FDA-approved clinical trial that treating heart attack patients with adult stem cells is safe and seems to repair damaged heart tissue. The results of this study, which was conducted by Joshua M. Hare, M.D. and director of the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and sponsored by Osiris Therapeutics of Columbia, Maryland, were published in the December 8th issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiol...

Adult Stem Cells In Anti Aging Skin Care Products
Major steps forward occur in every industry with revolutionary product development the backbone of corporate survival in many cases. The anti aging skin care business is the next industry to utilize modern technology, in this case, clinical biotechnology, to advance more effective and rapid results. Stem cell technology is riding the wave of progression into the anti aging skin care product market. One might ask if using stem cell technology for vanity purposes such as facial creams may be a bit... Readmore
Stem Cell Treatment for Leukemia Patients
Leukemia patients who receive stem cell transplants from the umbilical cord blood of newborns are usually vulnerable to life-threatening infections for at least a month as their immune systems recover. Now researchers from Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center may have found a way to dramatically shorten this recovery period and reduce infection-related deaths. In a small, early study, the researchers were able to successfully manipulate umbilical cord-derived stem cells to speed the product... Readmore
Umbilical Cord Blood saving lives of Cancer patient
Scientist have made a major breakthrough in cancer treatment, when doctors used the umbilical cord blood of a new born to save the life of cancer patients. The umbilical-cord-blood treatment could make a huge difference in the way that several types of cancer are treated worldwide. Cancer treatments using these transplants have been successful in treating blood cancers such as leukemia. Umbilical-cord-blood, which would have been thrown away, is now saving a cancer patient’s life. Cord blood c... Readmore
Placenta Stem Cell Treatment for Kawasaki Syndrome
Scientists have known for many years that stem cells restore the body’s health by targeting sites of injury and disease, clearing toxins from threatened tissue, and replacing dead and dying cells. In a 2004 study, Dr. Evan Snyder, a stem cell biologist at the Burnham Institute in La Jolla, California, reported that stem cells transplanted into an animal will travel to sites where an abnormality exists and stimulate the body’s ability to repair itself. What many people may not be awar... Readmore
Now Stem Cell Treatment Available in Mexico
While US researchers and politicians debate the potential of stem cells, people in Mexico are actually being treated and healed with placental stem cell treatments that have been clinically tested by over 2,000 patients with a variety of conditions and disorders. Thanks to International Stem Cell Institute (ISCI), there’s no need to wait until the FDA approves legislation to receive stem cell therapy. Stem cell treatment using non-controversial stem cells from placenta is already available in... Readmore
“Master cells” taken from umbilical cords hopes lifted
It is hoped that “master cells” taken from umbilical cords could be used on any patient without rejection. The current system of bone marrow transplantation helps patients who have diseases, such as leukaemia, which affect the stem cells in their bone marrow where new blood cells are grown. “The holy grail is to have an “off the peg” source of unlimited numbers of “neutral” stem cells” Their own bone marrow cells are killed off by aggressive treatm...

STEM CELL THERAPY TREATED PATIENTS (INCLUDING CHILDREN)
Patients (including children) are treated successfully with seizure disorders, problems with the circulatory system, and immune deficiency. Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston died on January 2. An autopsy report identified the cause of death as the result of a seizure. The public is yet to know what might have caused the seizure; however, Jett was diagnosed with Kawasaki Syndrome as a toddler. Even though it was not the cause of his death, it created serious he...

Stem Cell Therapy restoring the body functions
Every cell in the body “stems” from a particular “cell”. They can be classified into 3 broad categories, based on their ability to differentiate. Totipotent Stem Cells: These are found in early embryos and it is found that each cell can form a complete organism, like identical twins. Pluripotent Stem Cells: These are found in inner cell mass of blastocyst and can form any of the 200+ different cell types in the body. Multipotent Stem Cells: These are derived from fetal tissue, like C... Readmore

The Stem cell that promote stem cell treatment to desperate people with promises of wonder treatments. Stem Cells are engaged in the field of regenerative medicine. This includes the treatment of patients with stem cell transplantation therapy. In the month of February 2007 Master. Rajesh Kumar, 13yrs old boy Known case of Muscular Dystrophy came to us for trial stem cell therapy. Our doctors analyzed that he has no sensation below Knee level & he was able to move his hands very slowly that... Readmore
ADULT STEM-CELL TRANSPLANT NEW TREATMENT FOR SICKLE CELL
A modified blood adult stem-cell transplant regimen has effectively reversed sickle cell disease in 9 of 10 adults who had been severely affected by the disease, according to results of a National Institutes of Health study in the Dec. 10 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine and the trial represents a major milestone in developing a therapy aimed at curing sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease is caused by an altered gene that produces abnormal hemoglobin, the protein in normal red bl... Readmore
Brother gives sister a new life by giving Bone Marrow
The 37-year-old former Sedalia resident was the recipient of a bone marrow transplant. Her brother, Brock Pflughaupt, was the donor. Dawn Pflughaupt was working for Chrysler and raising her teenage daughter, Sierra, when she begins feeling ill. She said she thought it was just a bad case of the flu. “I had bruises and was tired,” she said, “but I thought that was from working in the automotive industry.” After a visit to the hospital, Pflughaupt went home to rest. “...
