Is Stem Cell-Based Therapy Going on or Out for Cardiac Disease?
Acute myocardial infarction and subsequent heart failure are leading causes of death worldwide. Stem cell-based therapies have improved cardiac function in recent clinical trials, but cardiomyocyte regeneration has not been demonstrated in human hearts. Angiogenesis and restoration of cardiac perfusion have been successfully performed using bone marrow derived stem cells and other adult stem ce...
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-based therapy for Parkinson's disease.
Motor dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease are considered to be primarily due to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Pharmacological therapies based on the principle of dopamine replacement are extremely valuable, but suffer from two main drawbacks: troubling side effects (e.g. dyskinesia) and loss of efficacy with disease progression. Transplantation ...
متن کاملCardiac Stem Cell Therapy for Cardiac Repair
OPINION STATEMENT The discovery of adult cardiac stem cells (CSCs) and their potential to restore functional cardiac tissue has fueled unprecedented interest in recent years. Indeed, stem-cell-based therapies have the potential to transform the treatment and prognosis of heart failure, for they have the potential to eliminate the underlying cause of the disease by reconstituting the damaged hea...
