Stem Cells For The Heart

Tuesday, April 8th, 2014

Stem Cell developments are emerging at a rapid rate. Enormous progress is being made in the field of adult stem cells. Diane Sawyer announced details about the first clinical trial using adult stem cells for the heart in 2011. With just 16 patients taking part, the results were remarkable. See the benefits that 68 year old Mike Jones received in just 6 months.

Now 2014, three years on, the biggest ever stem cell trial involving heart attack patients has just got underway. This study involves 3000 patients in 11 European countries. Based on previous studies, it is set to show very promising results.

All the patients will have standard treatment to widen their narrowed arteries, which involves inserting a small tube called a stent. In addition, half the patients will have stem cells taken from their bone marrow and injected into their heart. This will happen within days of them suffering a heart attack.

Watch both videos to see the amazing medical advancements that are benefiting heart patients.

What are adult stem cells?

Saturday, February 22nd, 2014

Stem Cells are the master cells and building blocks of the entire body.

Adult stem cells are the body’s own natural repair and renewal kit. Adult stem cells are with us from the day we are born. They are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body that divide to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissue and muscle. These cells are found in a variety of tissues and organs throughout the body.

The bone marrow is an abundant source of adult stem cells. Once mobilized, these adult stem cells enter the bloodstream where they migrate to areas most in need of repair and renewal. They then regenerate tissue and muscle, and support ongoing healthy cellular regeneration and maintenance throughout your entire lifetime.

Unlike embryonic stem cells, the use of adult stem cells in research and therapy is not controversial because the production of adult stem cells does not require the destruction of an embryo. Adult stem cells have a huge advantage as there is virtually no risk of rejection as these stem cells reside in our bodies from the day we are born. Currently, adult stem cell treatments are being used to help patients recover from over 150 debilitating chronic conditions previously thought to be untreatable.
