Chloe suffers from cerebral palsy and could barely crawl as a symptom of a stroke.
Chloe recently received adult stem cell treatment using her own stem cells. Click the video below to see Chloe’s remarkable improvements since receiving adult stem cell treatment. Her parents banked her own adult stem cells at birth from her cord blood that were used.
Chloe is now able to stand, run and dance around the house.
A WCBS news report by health correspondent, Dr. Max Gomez.
Four-year-old Angela Irizarry was born with a single pumping chamber in her heart, a potentially lethal defect. To fix the problem, Angela is growing a new blood vessel in her body in an experimental treatment that could advance the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine. Doctors at Yale University here implanted in Angela’s chest in August a bioabsorbable tube that is designed to dissolve over time. The tube was seeded with cells, including stem cells, that had been harvested from Angela’s bone marrow. Since then, the doctors say, the tube has disappeared, leaving in its place a conduit produced by Angela’s cells that functions like a normal blood vessel.“We’re making a blood vessel where there wasn’t one,” says Christopher Breuer, the Yale pediatric surgeon who led the 12-hour procedure to implant the device. “We’re inducing regeneration.” Angela, who had little stamina before the operation, now has the energy of a regular kid. She is on several medications, but Dr. Breuer and her parents think she’ll be able to start school in the fall. Watch the video below.
