eg.about stem cell, stem cell treatment

Spinal cord injuries cause myelopathy or damage to nerve roots or myelinated fiber tracts that carry signals to and from the brain. Depending on its classification and severity, this type of traumatic injury could also damage the gray matter in the central part of the cord, causing segmental losses of interneurons and motorneurons.

[News] FDA and Geron Corp. Reach Agreement on Spinal Injury Drug Trial
Stem cell research company Geron Corp (GERN.O) said it reached an agreement with U.S. health regulators which may enable it to restart the early stage trials of its cell therapy to treat complete thoracic spinal cord injury.

[News] Modified Adult Stem Cells May Be Helpful in Spinal Cord Injury
Researchers at UTHealth have demonstrated in rats that transplanting genetically modified adult stem cells into an injured spinal cord can help restore the electrical pathways associated with movement. The results are published in the Feb. 24 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.

[News] First U.S. stem cells transplanted into spinal cord
For the first time in the United States, stem cells have been directly injected into the spinal cord of a patient, researchers announced Thursday.

[News] StemCells, Inc. Initiates World��s First Neural Stem Cell Trial In Spinal Cord Injury
StemCells Inc announced today they are initiating a clinical trial using their fetal derived neural progenitor cells for the treatment of spinal cord injuries. Previously the company had reported that their stem cells, called HuCNS-SC, are capable of differentiating into various neural lineage cells including neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes. The fact that HuCNS-SC are derived from fetal sources allows them to possess a lower ability to stimulate immune responses, therefore, the cells can be used as an ��off the shelf�� product.

[News] Stem Cell institute cellmedicine successfully treats spinal cord injury patient with adult stem cells
The Stem Cell Institute reported today recovery of a spinal cord injury patient that was treated with a unique combination stem cell treatment. The patient suffered a crush fracture of the L1 vertebral body on May 13th, 2008 after a single propeller engine airplane crash. As a result of the crash, the patient had severe neuropathic pain, loss of sexual and bladder function, as well as loss of sensation in the legs.

[News] New Evidence for Spinal Membrane as a Source of Stem Cells May Advance Treatment of Spinal Cord Injuries

Italian and Spanish scientists studying the use of stem cells for treating spinal cord injuries have provided the first evidence to show that meninges, the membrane which envelops the central nervous system, is a potential source of self-renewing stem cells. The research, published in Stem Cells, develops the understanding of cell activation in central nervous system injuries; advancing research into new treatments for spinal injuries and degenerative brain disorders.

Stem Cells for Spinal Cord Injuries

[News] Spinal cord injury
The use of mesenchymal stem cells for a variety have diseases has been published. This includes conditions such as heart failure,liver failure, stroke, and lupus. One of the attractive features of mesenchymal stem cells is that they can differentiate into numerous tissues while at the same time exerting anti-inflammatory activities.

[Case Analysis] Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury (March 30, 2009) Drs. Peng, Wang and Wu

The patient is a 57-year-old male, he presented as having motor and sensor disturbance of his lower limbs, together with urinary and fecal incontinence for 2.5 years after his traffic accident. He was diagnosed with spinal cord injury post trauma (T7-T9). It is the second time he was hospitalized.
