Stem cell therapy for heart diseases.
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the advances in medical and catheter-based therapy for acute myocardial infarction the 1-year mortality remains as high as 13% and the 5-year prognosis for patients with heart failure remains as high as 50%. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction, a major determinant of prognosis, is associated w...
متن کاملP 53: Stem Cell Therapy for Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases (with Emphasis on Multiple Sclerosis)
Autoimmune diseases have been described as an interesting and poorly understood group of disorders. There are many challenges in the respective scientific societies concerning the nature, causes and the therapeutic approaches of these diseases. In accordance with the evidences the nature and etiology of these disorders is multifactorial and complex but the clearest definition could be expressed...
متن کاملStem cell therapy for severe autoimmune diseases
The interest in autoimmune diseases (ADs) is increasing exponentially (1, 2). Their estimated prevalence in Western countries ranges from 3% to 70% of the general population (3). Autoimmunity coincides with the loss of tolerance to the self (4); it is thought of as a persistent failure of an integrated fabric of components rather than the adverse consequence of a specific “forbidden clone” (5)....

002 drugs against AD [7]. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were able to home on the injured brain and remove Abeta plaques from the hippocampus and to reduce Abeta deposits through the activation of endogenous microglia in an induced AD mouse model [8]. Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs have been shown to improve memory deficits, and reduce Abeta deposition [9]. Moreover, one r...
متن کاملStem Cell Therapy for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), Huntington’s disease (HD), and multiple sclerosis (MS), are characterized by progressive degeneration of particular neuronal cells. Neurodegenerative disorders are believed to share a common pathophysiologic mechanism that allows the depo...
