Adult Stem Cells Can Block Stroke Damage!

Are you or a loved one interested in receiving stem cell treatment? For free information, please fill out our treatment form or email me don@repairstemcells.org and just put TREATMENT in the subject box and the MEDICAL CONDITION in the message.
All of you know I don't like to hype up "mouse" studies, but again, I think this one has real potential.

Please read about this incredibly important finding which will have a direct effect on millions of stroke victims.

Here is the title of the article as it appears in Scientific American -

Can Stem Cells Block Stroke Damage? Yes, but in a Surprising Way


Notice that the phrase "adult stem cells" is still embargoed from use in a positive science article in the so called "Developed countries of the Western World," so the embryonic fanatics will say "See, I told you embryonic stem cells would pay off!" (They "know" that all stem cells come from embryos).

As my little protest, I will paraphrase the article and add (Adult) every time the phrase "stem cells" are used because that is precisely what the article is talking about doing these amazing things:

Injecting (ADULT) stem cells into the brains of mice that recently suffered a stroke can reduce nerve cell (neuron) damage by up to 60 percent, according to new research.

But the (ADULT) stem cells do not simply replace damaged tissue as previously believed. Instead, the immature (ADULT) stem cells trigger adult brain cells to switch gears and block a stroke-induced immune response that causes nerve damage.

Prockop and his team induced strokes in six mice by blocking their carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. When blood is cut off cells panic, triggering the immune system, which goes into overdrive, attacking and destroying healthy tissue.

One day after causing the strokes, the researchers injected human mesenchymal stromal cells (ADULT STEM CELLS!)  into the animals' brains. (Prockop says the group used human stem cells because mouse cells are a lot harder to isolate and grow in the labthough similar results have been seen when animal cells were used.)

"The fascinating thing was the
(ADULT) stem cells were talking to each otherthe human cells and the mouse cells," he says. "The human cells turned down some of those inflammatory and immune responses."

Specifically, he says, the (ADULT) stem cells prompted the brain's immune cells (called microglia) to calm down and call off their assault on healthy nerve tissue. This resulted in 60 percent less damage to neurons in the brains of treated animals compared with those who did not receive stem cell infusions. In addition, the treated mice performed better than their untreated peers on a battery of movement, cognitive and behavioral tests.

"This is the first time really that the mechanisms were laid out," Prockop says.




The implanted stem cells that produced these explosive new scientific findings are ADULT STEM CELLS  (ASC), but the kept-ignorant public will read this as an embryonic victory everywhere but on this blog.




Oh, by the way, not that the USA news community is paying attention, but ASC are working on 100+ diseases on six continents (not yet in Antarctica). Meanwhile, every day of every week of every year, hundreds of patients die while waiting for the myth of embryonic cures to miraculously appear, while their medical scientists ignore what has been proven to work thousands of times, in order to concentrate on what has been thoroughly proven cannot work and never will.
