Stem Cell Therapy for MS Shows Promise More By Dennis ThompsonHealthDay Reporter HealthDay MONDAY, Dec. 29, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental therapy that kills off and then "resets" the immune system has given three years of remission to a small group of multiple sclerosis patients,...
Why Is Stem Cell Therapy So Expensive? Stem cell treatment has gained more and more traction over the last decade. New trials are being added every day for a wide range of conditions, including autism, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis (MS), arthritis, neuropathy, and more. While this high...

"We are always reluctant to talk about this type of disease being cured, but these patients have all been disease free without any maintenance therapy since the procedure, which is very encouraging," one of the treating physicians, Harold Atkins MD, University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, toldM...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the major stem cells for cell therapy, have been used in the clinic for approximately 10 years. From animal models to clinical trials, MSCs have afforded promise in the treatment of numerous diseases, mainly tissue injury a

improvement in MS patient disability. The 1-month mark of the study documented improvements in mobility, hand, bladder, bowel, and sexual functions. Importantly, the study demonstrated that a sustained one-year umbilical cord stem cell therapy has more durable benefits than current MS drug ...
CP cell therapy resulted in a net decrease of 54 upregulated proteins (n = 207 in Fig. 3a versus n = 153 in Fig. 3c). For proteins downregulated by infarction, extent of change for 21 of 33 clusters was reduced by cell therapy (Fig. 3d), accounting for 122 fewer ...
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) tend to experience a short-term reduction in disability and brain lesion volume after receiving stem cell therapy, according to a meta-analysis of nine studies detailing randomized clinical trials. After six and 12 months, however, the resea...
