Употребата на матичните клетки од папочна врвца рапидно се зголемува. Пред 10 години крвта од папочна врвца можеше да лекува околу 40 состојби, но денес таа бројка е над 80. Со нетрпение очекуваме нови терапии за болести и нарушувања како што се дијабет, аутизам и мозочен удар, можете да бидете во тек со најновите случувања во регенеративната медицина на нашиот блог за матични клетки.

Have you heard of Hurler Syndrome? If not, you’re most likely in the majority.

It is rare indeed. Obscure, even. Perhaps Hurler Syndrome wouldn’t be on your radar unless it had touched you, or the family of someone you know. It’s estimated that just one in every 100,000 births will be affected by this condition (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK532261/), yet it devastates lives.

A new phase II clinical trial has indicated that umbilical cord blood infusions are safe and are associated with improved social and communication abilities in children with autism.

Results from the study show that umbilical cord blood infusion were safe and well tolerated by the 180 children participating in the clinical trial. Cord blood was also associated with improvements in communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without intellectual disability (ID).

Initial data from early clinical trials show that mesenchymal stem cells could potentially stop the virus, calm the immune response and repair tissue damage caused by COVID-19.

As the pandemic continues, the race is truly on to find an effective treatment for COVID-19. With more than 500 clinical trials currently underway across the world, researchers are channelling all of their efforts and expertise in the hope of finding a cure.

As we come to the end of another great Cord Blood Awareness Month, we will be taking a look at just why cord blood banking is so important and what our options are for saving cord blood. Whilst the profile of cord blood banking has increased in recent years, many misconceptions and myths still exist and many people are still unaware of the importance of umbilical cord blood. Here are some key facts:

In an exciting new development within the stem cell field, a man from London has become the second patient in the world to be cured of HIV following a stem cell treatment.

Alongside being diagnosed with HIV in 2003, Adam Castillejo was also later diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2012 – an extremely rare form of blood cancer. Shortly after, Adam, also known as the “London Patient”, began to receive traditional medication in an attempt to treat the cancer.
