Progression of stem cell technology and treatments

Stem cell technology and research has opened doors to reduce symptoms, find ways to repair and treat damages due to nerve related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis in different parts of the world. In the recent days, it is now possible to treat patients who have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis with their own stem cells affecting immune system has shown incredible results in many clinical trials when treatment is done at the earliest stage.

In a recent stem cell research, medical researchers in the Northwestern University School of Medicine, Chicago have revealed an amazing achievement. According to the study conducted it showed that when stem cells from patients were removed from bone marrow and chemicals were injected to repair damage caused to the immune system and then re-injected back inside the body it showed remarkable results. After a time span of three months, those patients involved in the medical intervention experienced no further deterioration and most of them showed signs of improvement.

In another medical examination, adult stem cells which were removed from fatty tissues of the patients have shown reduction in therapeutic manifestation of the disease process. The medical trials which were conducted by use of stem cells showed rapid improvement. Mesenchymal adult stem cells have proved to minimize or check immune activation of stem cells and treat specific areas where damage to tissues has occurred.

By using cell stem therapy to treat Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis it has now become possible to repair the damage caused to the immune system and its functioning. Through stem cell treatments it has made it easy to reverse or reduce the chances of being affected with multiple sclerosis. Stem cell transplants in multiple sclerosis with use of autologous hematopoietic procedure have shown a positive perspective combined with other immunosuppressive therapies.

The prospects of stem cell treatments and technology

Recently, a therapeutic approach has been developed for treating multiple muscular symptoms that includes Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and ALS. There are huge benefits of stem cell treatments that offers patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, particularly those intervened in the early stages, with improved muscular and neural function, minimized symptoms and better quality of life. Stem cell news is abounding with unbelievable facts of different stages of recovery of patients that have already undergone stem cell treatments and there are some who have regained their ability to walk on their own.

Many people all across the globe have undergone medical trials of stem cell therapy and showed amazing results of slowing disease process by 60 to 80 percent, while many have enjoyed the advantages to reverse the disease completely. While there is still no treatment for multiple sclerosis, medical professionals are focusing on such stem cell therapies to repair and regenerate central nervous system to offer patients suffering from nerve damage across the world.
