The rats completely recovered from a stroke within two weeks with stem cell therapy (Wiki Commons)
Stem cell therapy administered shortly after a stroke could significantly increase the sufferer's chance of a complete recovery.
When administered to rats within 30 minutes of suffering a stroke, the rodents made a full recovery within two weeks, a study showed.
The research, published in BioMed Central's open access journalStem Cell Research & Therapy, found that stem cells from the bone marrow of fat can improve the recovery of rats following a stroke.
Researchers at La Paz University Hospital found that treatment improved the amount of brain and nerve repair, as well as the animal's ability to complete tasks.
Rats were treated intravenously with stem cells half an hour after a stroke. In humans, such rapid response is known to dramatically improve the outcome of victims.
The researchers found improvements in the stem cell group within 24 hours of the treatment, compared to the control group.
The FAST response advertising campaign has aimed to increase awareness of symptoms. Facial and arm weakness and speech problems suggest it is time to call emergency services.
Human trials
A delay in treatment can result in death or long-term disabilities. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off.

What the heck are mesenchymal stem cells.mp4
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Mesenchymal stem cells are cells that have pluripotential abilities. That means they can become almost any mesenchymal tissue. They are found in adult organs such as bone marrow, synovium (the lining of joints), muscle, and fat. These cells have cell surface markers that differentiates them from other cell types. http

What are the factors that make mesenchymal stem cells into cartilage
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com During the process of growth, numerous proteins provide signals that prompt mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into chondrocytes (cartilage cells.) Among these proteins are bone morphogenic protein, cartilage-derived morphogenic proteins, and fibroblast growth factors. This signaling leads to a process of transcription which is vital to the formation of cartilage. Also, the use of various scaffolds- frameworks- have shown promise. http

where are stem cells found
http://www.stemcellsarthritistreatment.com Mesenchymal stem cells, cells that have potent reparative potential are located in a number of areas including deciduous teeth (baby teeth), the periosteum (the surface) of bone, fat, bone marrow, and the synovium- the lining of joints. Stem cells found in the synovial membrane have been found in one study to proliferate extensively in culture and may maintain their differentiation potential. The authors concluded these synovial membrane stem cells may play a regenerative role in arthritis. http

He was managed conservatively and has been undergoing regular rehabilitation since then. Neurologically, he is hypertonic and hyperreflexic. On examination: he has left sided paraesthesia (abnormal sensation). He has near normal left lower extremities voluntary control, but poor voluntary control of left hand, but fair control over left (proximal) upper extremities mainly shoulder and elbow. He has near normal cognition and speech. He has affected fine motor control and gross balance while walking. He has hemiplegic gait. Functionally, he is independent in most ADL and mobility. After Stem Cell Therapy 1) Now grasp of left hand has improved. Can hold glass with minimal assistance and drink water. Earlier could not hold glass. 2) Now uses his left hand more in activities -- drinking water. Earlier it was not possible to drink water and use left hand but now he can. 3) Stiffness in left upper limb reduced. 4) Can now sleep on left side also.

Stem Cell Therapy for Moderate Mental Retardation with Behavioural Issues
She is a known case of Mental Retardation with history of full term normal delivery, but mother had malaria during pregnancy. She had delayed motor milestones but achieved. She had delay mainly in speech. So she was tested and diagnosed to have MR. Gradually, she developed abnormal behavior and hyperactivity. Neurologically, she has near normal tone, reflexes and muscle power. On examination: She is hyperactive. She has poor social interaction and poor social skills. She has poor attention span. She has aggressive behavior. She is unable to read and write, but goes to a special school. She is unable to follow commands and has delayed speech. She needs assistance in all ADL. After Stem Cell Therapy OT assessment: 1) Hyperactivity has reduced by 30-40%. Now she can sit at one place if activity is of interest for 1-2 hours. She has calmed down a lot. 2) Attention and concentration has improved. Now she follows commands or instructions given. Does not need repetitions. 3) Concepts have improved, recognizes objects, matching colours, alphabets, numbers. 4) Speech is clearer and responses are relevant to questions asked. She sometimes still has repetitive speech or speaks sentences not appropriate to the present situations. 5) Aggressive behaviours have decreased. Initially the first month after SCT -- she showed increased aggressiveness towards younger brother. She would beat her brother for no reason. That slowly reduced. Now rarely does it (only when very angry). 6 ...

Research on human beings has expanded greatly due to progress and the evolution of society as well as customs. Not only the unceasing development of research on human beings, but also interference in the beginning and end of life with homologous and heterogonous human reproduction, surrogate motherhood, cloning, gene therapies, eugenics,euthanasia, dysthanasia, orthothanasia, assisted suicide, genetic engineering, reassignment surgery in cases of transsexuality, the use of recombinant DNA technology and embryonic stem cells, transplantation of human organs and tissues, biotechnology and many other scientific advances. Scientific progress goes faster than the real needs of human beings, who are the final recipient of the entire evolutionary progress. Hence, there is the need to scrutinize w...

The California stem cell agency today
issued a press release touting “dramatic changes” at the agency in response to critical recommendations by the Institute of Medicine.
The California stem cell agency is
planning an editorial road show with major California newspapers to
explain its new plan to deal with the recommendations of the
Institute of Medicine(IOM) for major changes at the agency.
The agency could have a tough audience.
The newspapers editorializing on the subject were unanimously in
favor of the IOM recommendations. One said the agency needs to clean
up its act. They warned of a loss of public trust along with losing the
possibility of continued financial support. (For a sample, see here
and here.)
“The opportunity is ripe.”
