Paralyzed rat walks with own stem cells in 11 wks.

TV clip of Dr. Roisen's success using nasal cells for spinal injuries. Similar work by Dr. Lima has all patients benefit (though not all walking). Read Senate Testimony of Laura Dominguez who was once paralyzed from neck down and can now walk w/braces and Susan Fajt. Detroit Rehab. & Dr. Peduzzi-Nelson at WSU working w/Dr. Lima.

Sorry about the sound. Hope to have better quality up in a week or so.

These are NOT the cells to which you refer. These are cells found in the nose.

you're referring to iPS, which used the retrovirus but Dr. Yamanaka's lab now introduces the genes without using a virus (published Oct '08 SCIENCE). Other methods include 2nd generation (no virus) and using harmless adenoviruses that ultimately disappear from the new cells. Scripps Institute is reprogramming general cells to pluripotent cells in a completely chemically defined manner without genetic manipulation

hehe, they probably want people paralyzed to feel better, its probably not true xD

Dr. Roisen is at University of Louisville in TN - look it up. (You look smarter if you do it before you comment, though.)

Pharmacutical companies don't want a cure for anything. It's money over research. You'll never get a grant for this and from the date of the video, I doubt it went very far.

Other recent MS patients who have had Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT), or stem cell therapy have posted videos and comments on YouTube v=jFQr2eqm3Cg. Log on to ccsviclinic. ca for more information.

Autologous stem cell transplantation is a procedure by which blood-forming stem cells are removed, and later injected back into the patient. All stem cells are taken from the patient themselves and cultured for later injection. In the case of a bone marrow transplant, the HSC are typically removed from the Pelvis through a large needle that can reach into the bone. Log on to ccsviclinic. ca for more information.
