Adult Stem Cell Advancements Lead The Way – Doctors Provide Update

Thursday, February 6th, 2014

CLEVELAND, Ohio, U.S.A.

Researchers in Northeast Ohio have been studying adult stem cells with success for a number of years.

In 2003 the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, The Ohio State University, Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and Athersys Inc. joined forces.

Now, in 2014 medical breakthroughs and advancements are happening rapidly in 40 separate facilities, and the National Center for Regenerative Medicine is ranked as one of the top five stem cell related organizations in the country.

Clinical trials and treatments for everything from diabetes to arthritis and cancer are currently underway. Doctors say the research being conducted could forever change the way people age and heal.

Stem Cell Treatment Could Prolong Life For Metastatic Patients

Friday, August 9th, 2013

A new stem cell-based treatment may help patients with late-stage metastatic cancer live longer, according to researchers at the University of Michigan. The treatment includes the introduction of stem cells to the stomach, providing a layer of protection against harsh chemoradiotherapy.

The treatment technique was tested in mice and 50 to 75 percent survived the harsh cancer treatment. There were no survivors in a test group that did not receive the treatment.

“All tumors from different tissues and organs can be killed by high doses of chemotherapy and radiation, but the current challenge for treating the later-staged metastasized cancer is that you actually kill the patient before you kill the tumor,” said lead researcher Jian-Guo Geng.

“Now we have found a way to protect the intestine. The next step is to aim for a 100-percent survival rate in mice who are injected with the molecules and receive lethal doses of chemotherapy and radiation.”
