Stem Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis Stimulates IDO

[hollyhuber]

Thanks for another great informative video. I always enjoy learning and understanding more. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

I like this video a lot. There are some strong points you mention that people seem to forget, for example that a stem cell therapy does not have to become new tissue in order to help the overall clinical situation. The fact that you are stiudying this in mice is a good point and a strength, since the mice are reproducible and do not have as many issues as in cliinical trials where there is a placebo effect and there may be large variation between patients.

Please keep putting up these vides

wow your pretty chilled out in this lecture...guess your still not over your flu

very informative. I wish more people would talk about how this stuff works except whether it works or not

[lighthouseshines]

This is great

[floricabatu]

since the paper is talking about interferon gamma being associated with protection, i think thats why emirapper thought th epaper was bizarre

[stemcellpatents]

Why bizarre?

[emirapper]

because stem cells are usually antiingflammatory and here the paper is saying that induction of interferon is occuring.

[floricabatu]

they use interferon for the treatment of multiple sclerosis

[emirapper]

a good synopsis of a very bizarre paper. The model used was completely artificial, how many people do you know get vaccinated with their own myelin? maybe back in the day when they were making vaccines from monkey brains

[stemcelltelevision]

how do stem cells mediate their effects in multiple sclerosis?

differentiation

growth factors

immune modulation

Interesting video with a lot of points ! great job
