from the Brigham Research Center in Boston have found out that stem cells can
regenerate lung tissue. Never before had an isolated stem cell turned into lung
tissue. This discovery can be very beneficial for patients suffering from chronic
lung problems that didn't have treatments before. Although these forms of
treatment are still being studied, it is likely that stem cell treatment for
lung diseases will be available soon.
month of May, doctors have successfully done surgery on a 45 year old policeman
who had become paraplegic after falling off a roof in 2006. In this never
before used technique, stem cells from the hip. These mesenchyme cells are then
injected in the area where the bone marrow has been fractured. In previous
tests using animals, they have all regained part of their movements back, but
the technique still isn't 100% efficient.
none of these treatments are completely efficient and will cure the patient
entirely, it gives them the first option of treatment, which is better than
nothing.
