Question 1

is live cell therapy a hoax or does it have merit?  can cells from other animals be injected into a human and survive?

Accepted Answer

Scam: If you're being told you're getting cells from an animal to rejuvenate you or something, report the quack to the licensing board.

Question 2

what is cell therapy?

Accepted Answer

Let me explain: Cell therapy describes the process of introducing new cells into a tissue in order to treat a disease. Cell therapies often focus on the treatment of hereditary diseases, with or without the addition of gene therapy. Cell therapy is a sub-type of regenerative medicine.

Question 3

what is cell therapy for the knee?

Accepted Answer

Stem cell?: Sounds like you are asking about stem cell therapy for knees.  At the present time, there is no peer-reviewed scientific evidence to support stem cell treatment for knee conditions.  There is research being done in this area, however.

Question 4

what is adoptive t-cell therapy?

Accepted Answer

Delivery of T cells: Adoptive T cell therapy is a form of immunotherapy for malignancy that  involves isolation and ex vivo expansion of tumor specific T cells to deliver a  greater number of T cells to the tumor  than by vaccination alone.  These  tumor specific T cells are infused into patients with cancer in an attempt to give their immune system the ability to overwhelm remaining tumor.. Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes or TIL have been used by isolating and expanding one particular T cell or clone have been engineered to potently recognize and attack tumors with minimal effect. It is now being recognized that IgG1’s can be more effective than TIL thru ADCC.

Question 5

can  sten cell therapy gives results for f a patients  ?

Accepted Answer

Stem cells: Unlikely. Stem cells are unlikely to help this problem.

Question 6

what are the types of stem cells for therapy?

Accepted Answer

More than before: Stem cells may be harvested from blood or bone marrow of the person receiving them (autologous), a different donor (allogeneic), as well as from placental cord blood.  Mesenchymal stem cells, which generate soft tissue and bone, have also been given.   Stem cells have become a hot topic for today's researchers.

Question 7

can radiation therapy increase cell growth?

Accepted Answer

No and Yes: Radiation therapy slows or stops cell growth. The goal is of course to kill cancer cells and they don't grow and die.  However if you look up the four r's of radiation biology.  The last one is repoplulation in which during fractionated radiation cells increase growth to  repopulate.  Luckily we see this more often in the good cells but unfortunately in some cases resistant cancer cells.

Question 8

what diseases have stem cell therapies treated?

Accepted Answer

Stem Cell Therapy: There are currently *hundreds* of ongoing clinical trials for many disease indications. These include cardiac, vascular, ms, diabetes, parkinsons, brain lesion, wound care, autism, crohn's, kidney, liver, orthopedic, reconstruction,  fistula , arthritis, and others. Additionally, there are scores of offshore stem cell clinics offering experimental therapies.

Question 9

what is stem cell therapy?

Accepted Answer

Stem cell therapy: It involves the use of stem or pluripotent cells that, under the proper triggers, can grow into many different cell types. Stem cells are transplanted to replace damaged cells or tissues in the body that are unable to heal themselves. While this type of therapy does offer hope, it is mostly investigational at this time and very few stem cell therapies have been proven to be both safe and effective.

Question 10

is cell therapy different from gene therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Cell therapy generally involves stem or pluripotent cells that have the potential, under the right triggers, to grow into many different types of cells. These cells are then transplanted to an area of disease. Gene therapy generally involves replacing small dysfunctional segments of dna. Dna is present in almost every cell in our body and is the instruction manual that tells the cell what to do.
