Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy.
Gene therapy applications that target hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) offer great potential for the treatment of hematologic disease. Despite this promise, clinical success has been limited by poor rates of gene transfer, poor engraftment of modified cells, and poor levels of gene expression. We describe here the basic approach used for HSC gene therapy, briefly review some of the seminal clini...
متن کاملstem cell therapy for treatment of epilepsy.
epilepsy as one of the most common neurological disorders affects more than 50 million people worldwide with a higher prevalence rate in low-income countries. excessive electrical discharges in neurons following neural cell damage or loss cause recurrent seizures. one of the most common and difficult to treat types of epilepsy is temporal lobe epilepsy (tle) which results from hippocampal scler...
متن کاملmesenchymal stem cell therapy for multiple sclerosis
human mesenchymal stem cell (msc) can be isolated from bone marrow (bm) and differentiated into multiple lineages. these properties make them promising tools in cell and gene therapy. up to now, no definite therapeutic intervention for late stages of multiple sclerosis (ms) has been found. we decided to inject ms patients with autologous expanded msc. five patients participated in this ongoing ...
متن کاملP137: Stem Cell Therapy in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder which plays an important role in neural cell destruction and as a result it causes memory loss in the patients. This disease is also the most common type of dementia which doesn’t completely respond to medical treatments so no certain cure is available. Recent studies show the advantages of using stem cells (SCs) in ...
متن کاملStem Cell Therapy: the ethical issues
The ability to culture human stem cells long term, and possibly indefinitely, and to control how such cells specialise to form the different tissues of the body offers the possibility of major advances in healthcare. Stem cells have been isolated and cultured, but a great deal of research is required to develop cell lines which can generate replacement cells and tissues to treat many diseases.S...
