It is very painful to see
retarded development of your child because of a disease like autism, which
encompasses a range of disorders with common symptoms. I can understand this
pain and the problems that a child goes through when affected by autism, as I
share the same problem with my child. It was hard to belief that my child was
autistic, but I never wanted to give up hope. What kept the light of my hopes
burning is Giostar Hospital. Giostar is the pioneer of Stem Cell Therapy in India and brings
its benefits to Indian masses. This kind of treatment is already prevalent in
western and European countries, but Stem Cell Therapy in India is new
concept, and it is hard to trust just any hospital, especially when it concerns
your child’s health. However, earlier success stories of Giostar, and its
well-equipped and well-informed team of doctors kept up my hopes and answered
it too. At Giostar Hospital, I
understood how stem cells work and how this treatment helps in curing autism.
Normally, adult stem cells, derived from tissues of the umbilical cord are
utilized for treating autism, which is more effective that the existing
investigative treatments that try to repeal the symptoms by administering hyperbaric
oxygen, antibiotics, etc.
After 20 years of trying, scientists have transformed mature cells into primordial blood cells that regenerate themselves and the components of blood. The work, described today in Nature, offers hope to people with leukaemia and other blood disorders who need bone-marrow transplants but can’t find a compatible donor. If the findings translate into the clinic, these patients could receive lab-grown versions of their own healthy cells. One team, led by stem-cell biologist George Daley of Boston Children’s Hospital in Massachusetts, created human cells that act like blood stem cells, although they are not identical to those found in nature. A second team, led by stem-cell biologist Shahin Rafii of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, turned mature cells from mice into fully fledged blood stem cells. “For many years, people have figured out parts of this recipe, but they’ve never quite gotten there,” says Mick Bhatia, a stem-cell researcher at McMaster University i...
