CATCH UP! They’ve been treating SCI patients successfully with stem cells for years now!
Stem cells may hold secret to multiple spinal injury repair
21 January 2011
Scientists may soon be able to repair multiple aspects of a spinal cord injury in humans, using adult stem cells.
A Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine study involving rats showed that use of multipotent adult progenitor cells (mapc) could prevent neuron retraction, promote new neuron re-growth and reduce inflammation in spinal injury.
Researchers will no doubt be hopeful that the development of such treatment can contribute significantly to reducing the costs of spinal injury treatment, which can range between $500,000 (£312,000) and $3 million (£1.9 million) in the US.
Commenting on the findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, university professor Jerry Silver explained: “Using preclinical models of spinal cord injury, we found that MAPC can both dynamically regulate macrophages, which cause inflammatory damage, and stimulate neuron growth simultaneously.
“Our results demonstrate that MAPC convey meaningful therapeutic benefits after spinal cord injury.”
Meanwhile, recent research conducted at Otago University suggests that cell tissue extracted from the nose could be transplanted to the site of spinal cord injury.
Scientists are hopeful the procedure could overcome blocks that prevent nerve cells regenerating following damage.

Recently, two New Zealand “experts” in the field of spinal cord injuries weighed in on stem cell treatments. One of them, Dr Richard Acland, Christchurch’s Burwood Hospital director of the spinal injuries unit, told TV ONE’s Breakfast today that he has concerns about stem cell treatments and their ability to help SCI patents recover. The other, “Spinal Cord Society president Noela Vallis said the procedure has been carried out overseas on well over 100 people with few negative side-effects and varying degrees of improvement for each patient.” via
Well done Noela! It is obvious to me that you are familiar with and have based your optimism on these articles…and it is further obvious that Dr Acland has never seen any of them:

CATCH UP! This is laughable.
They want to make drugs for heart disease to do what stem cells have been doing for years! Here’s where they are: “…within the next decade they may have experimental drugs in development that would give certain… kinds of cells in the heart the ability to regenerate tissue, repair damage and therefore combat heart failure….” and “…his researchers had already had some success in using this protein to “wake up” cells known as epicardial cells in mice with damaged hearts.”
WHAT A JOKE!
1. Thousands of heart disease patients have been treated successfully around the world at stem cell treatment centers since 2004.
2. Prof Doris Taylor proved heart tissue can regenerate with stem cells in the 1990′s, built rodent and human hearts from scratch and opened a lab in Spain that grows entire hearts from the patient’s own stem cells last year.
CATCH UP ALREADY!
Scientists look to stem cells to mend broken hearts
LONDON | Tue Feb 1, 2011 4:14am EST
LONDON (Reuters Life!) – Britain’s leading heart charity launched a 50 million pound ($80 million) research project on Tuesday into the potential of stem cells to regenerate heart tissue and “mend broken hearts”…

A stem cell transplant using her baby brother’s cord blood cells has cured Harshita Aggarwal, 8, of thalassaemia — a rare genetic blood disease that affects 1.7 lakh people, forcing them to undergo blood transfusions regularly. In India, this is the second time a child has been cured of this lifelong blood disorder using cord blood cells. So far, the only treatment available treatment in India was a bone marrow transplant. “In the normal process, if there's a damaged tissue, stem cells come into action and start rebuilding it. What we are trying is to increase the concentration of stem cells in the body to help the rebuilding process,” said Dr Naresh Trehan, chairman, Medanta-The Medicity.
Aggarwal received cord blood stem cells from her brother, Yuvraj, 2, whose cord blood was preserved at birth for treating Harshita, who is in Delhi with her grandmother Krishna Aggarwal.
“About a couple of years ago, when I was in Delhi for Harshita's treatment, I happened to see an article on cord blood stem cell banking and how it could help cure certain blood-related diseases. I contacted people at Cryobanks International India, who told me everything about stem cell banking. So, when my daughter-in-law conceived again, we decided to preserve the cord blood cells,” said Krishna Aggarwal, 62, who travelled to Delhi for transfusions every month for eight years, from her hometown in Patna, Bihar.
Dr Dharma Chaudhary, a transplant physician at Cryobanks International India, administered the treatment in December 2009.
“We waited a year because the treatment can be called a success only if the body does not reject the implanted cells for one year,” he said.
“Blood from a newborn's discarded umbilical cord is saved after birth because it is the richest source of stem cells. These cells can be saved for 21 years and used to treat genetic diseases, if the need arises. After the transplant, patients only take immuno-suppressant drugs to avoid rejection of the implanted foreign cells,” said Dr Chaudhary.
Cord blood stem cells can be banked at a monthly cost of R3,500 for 21 years. Later, the contract can be renewed. A stem cell transplant surgery costs about R14 lakh in India, which is one-tenth the cost in the US, where it costs R1.5 core.
“Less than 1% of India's population knows of it at the moment. It is an expensive proposition presently, but we are in the process of creating a public stem cell bank, which will bring down the cost,” said Ravi Jaipuria, chairman, RJ Corp, that owns Cryobanks International India.
