Cells Forged from Human Skin Show Promise in Treating Multiple Sclerosis

A study out February 7 in the journal Cell Stem Cell shows that human brain cells created by reprogramming skin cells are highly effective in treating myelin disorders, a family of diseases that includes multiple sclerosis and rare childhood disorders called pediatric leukodystrophies.

The study is the first successful attempt to employ human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) to produce a population of cells ...

 Post subject: Stem Cell study offers hope to multiple sclerosis patients
PostPosted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 4:05 am

Scientists in recent years have found a way to infuse stem cells into the brains of animals to repair damage to the central nervous system, offering some of the most encouraging news yet for multiple sclerosis patients.

Now, a key $12.1 million study soon will be under way in Buffalo and two other upstate medical centers that will for the first time begin to test the procedure in people.

The hope is that the ...

 Post subject: The Real PROBLEM
PostPosted: Thu Dec 13, 2012 10:37 am 
I have been very fascinated with Stem Cells and their potential to help MS Patients. Thus, I asked my neurologist the following question, "There is so much promise in Stem Cells to help treat MS Patients...so why the long wait?"

His answer, "$$$$$$".

The Drug Companies don't want to put any resources behind this, because it cannot be patented or they can't make a buck!

Therefore, we are patiently waiting for the MS Societies of ...

Brain cells made from urine
http://www.nature.com/news/brain-cells- ... ne-1.11985

Some of the waste that humans flush away every day could become a powerful source of brain cells to study disease, and may even one day be used in therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Scientists have found a relatively straightforward way to persuade the cells discarded in human urine to turn into valuable neurons.

The technique, described online in a study in ...

 Post subject: Researchers create 'endless supply' of myelin-forming cells
PostPosted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 8:45 am 
Image

In a new study appearing this month in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers have unlocked the complex cellular mechanics that instruct specific brain cells to continue to divide. This discovery overcomes a significant technical hurdle to potential human stem cell therapies; ensuring that an abundant supply of cells is available to study and ultimately treat people with diseases.

"One of the major factors that will determine the viability of stem cell therapies is access ...
