Treatment with stem cells, a new era in medical science.......

A new Era is coming forward in the treatment of human body. That is the STEM CELL THERAPY. If this treatment comes forward then medical science can treat many of those major diseases that are killing a large number of people each year. There are many diseases now that can't be cured by medical treatment, like Paralysis. If a patient has paralysis then doctors give him only some supportive treatment to improve his nerve supply on that affected area. But it can't give a redical cure. Because if a nerve cell damaged it cant be regenerated due to it is mane if stable cells. But, if a stem cell is replaced on that area then it can regenerate a nerve cell because stem cell can grow in the form of any cells or tissues, it has that capacity. Although a stem cell can grow in any form of a tissue or an organ. So, if we can place a stem cell in that affected hand or leg then this stem cell will grow under control and can regenerate into that original tissue. So, the patient will be cured ultimately.
And this theory made our scientists happy. And from this theory many researches are going on under laboratory. We all hope that finally we will get a new Era on medical treatment.

Monoclonal Antibody Targets, Kills Leukemia Cells

Monoclonal Antibody Targets, Kills Leukemia Cells Researchers at the University of California, San Diego Moores Cancer Center have identified a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets and directly kills chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells The findings, published in the online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on March 25, 2013 represent a potential new therapy for treating at least some patients with CLL, the most common type of blood cancer in the United States. CLL cells express high levels of a cell-surface glycoprotein receptor called CD44. Principal investigator Thomas Kipps, MD, PhD, Evelyn and Edwin Tasch Chair in Cancer Research, and colleagues identified a monoclonal antibody called RG7356 that specifically targeted CD44 and was directly toxic to cancer cells, but had little effect on normal B cells. Moreover, they found RG7356 induced CLL cells that expressed the protein ZAP-70 to undergo apoptosis or programmed cell dea...

CellSight Contributes Light-Sensitive Retinal Organoids and RPE Cells to New AMD Study

Department of Ophthalmology Written by Kara Mason | December 06, 2023 A partnership between ophthalmology researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins University expands the understanding of how oxidative stress contributes to the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). To study the roles oxidative stress, a condition in which the body lacks antioxidants, and hypoxia play in the progression of AMD, Johns Hopkins University researchers turned to CellSight , the ocular stem cell and regeneration research program in the CU Department of Ophthalmology, for tools that allow researchers to explore specific conditions relevant to AMD. Using human-induced pluripotent stem cells, a type of stem cells that are generated or induced-from cells obtained from an adult person's skin or blood, CellSight investigators can recreate human retinal...

Baldness as a Signal of Heart Disease Risk

Baldness as a Signal of Heart Disease Risk Courtesy : NY Times and BMJ online. Baldness may indicate an increased risk for coronary heart disease. The risk is associated only with male pattern baldness, the kind that starts at the top or back of the head, and not with a receding hairline, according to researchers who reviewed six studies that included 37,000 participants. The analysis, published online in BMJ Open , found that baldness increased the risk for heart disease by between 30 and 40 percent compared with men with a full head of hair. They found the association among men 55 to 60 as well as among older men, and the more severe the baldness, the greater the risk. The reason for the association is unclear, but the authors suggest that known risk factors for heart disease — hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking and others — may affect both conditions, and that baldness may be a marker of atherosclerosis. In previous studies, baldness has been linked to an increased risk...
