Could stem cells cure BLINDNESS? Retina grown in a laboratory used to treat monkeys with rare genetic condition

A rare genetic condition which can cause blindness in families could be treated using stem cells following tests by scientists. Researchers in Japan grew tissue grafts from human embryonic stem cells, which they used to treat monkeys suffering from retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The inherited condition causes the light-sensitive cells in the retina – the tissue at the back of the eye – to gradually die, leading to sight loss. A team of Japanese researchers have successfully used embryonic stem cells to treat animals with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a rare inherited condition in which the light-sensitive cells in the retina gradually die. By growing tissue grafts from embryonic stem cells they were able to treat animals But the new study has raised hopes that stem cells can be used as a treatment for the condition. The research was carried out by scientists at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan, who used human embryonic stem...

Stem cells: What are the facts?

FEATURE  — Stem cells, a form of regenerative medicine, has become a hot topic in medical literature,and patients have become interested in what regenerative medicine can do for them. Regenerative medicine employs treatments that have the potential to help the body heal, restore and establish normal function. One area of regenerative medicine that may have the potential to treat chronic painful conditions involves the use of stem cells. Because stem cell treatment is relatively new, here are some frequently asked questions about stem cell treatment to help explain the potential benefits and concerns with these types of services. What are stem cells? Our body is made of cells. At one point, every cell in our body came from a stem cell. Stem cells are cells that have the potential capability to become other cells within their lineage and also have the potential to signal to cells around them to perform certain functions. A good way to think about them is that they a...

Stem Cells Signal Mouse's Own Cells To Mend The Fracture

Treatment with bone marrow-derived stem cells could prove to be an effective strategy for slow healing bone fractures in diabetics, a pre-clinical study suggested. When nondiabetic human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were administered directly to femur fractures in a murine model of diabetes, the bones healed more efficiently than nontreated bone, reported Cynthia Coleman, PhD, of the National University of Ireland in Galway, and colleagues. he stem-cell treated bones were also significantly stronger than nontreated bone, they stated in a report at the 2015 European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE) meeting. Both the metabolic and endocrine impact of diabetes can adversely affect bone quality and may increase fracture risk. Lower bone mass and increased fracture risk have long been recognized as a complication of type 1 diabetes, and fracture is also increasingly recognized as a concern for patients with type 2 diabetes, despite their often higher, obes...

Cell Therapy For Atrophic AMD Well Tolerated When Delivered Safely

MIAMI — Cell therapy with CNTO 2476, an adult stem cell treatment for atrophic age-related macular degeneration, is well tolerated when delivered safely into the subretinal space, a speaker told colleagues at Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration 2015. Of the 35 subjects with bilateral geographic atrophy enrolled in the study, 33 received the cells via microcatheter. “In this study, we need to do a better job with surgical delivery,” Allen C. Ho, MD, said, considering there was a 15% rate of retinal detachment with the method used. No patient had immune response, endophthalmitis, uveitis or tumor formation, however. Ho gave early efficacy results on visual acuity accrued in the phase 1/2a clinical trial, but “with caution,” because the trial was small, unmasked and not controlled. Mean visual acuity over 1 year in treated eyes improved four to five letters, whereas fellow eyes that were untreated lost approximately two letters, according to the presentation. A...
