Question 1

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 2

does stem cell therapy stimulate sezuires?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure of: The exact question. Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant may receive Busulfan which can have the side effect of seizures.

Question 3

will stem cell therapy ever help kids with trisomy?

Accepted Answer

No: These are developmental abnormalities of all the somatic tissues rather than a single gene gone awry, or a simple to repair pathway only missing an enzyme.

Question 4

i ve bronciectasis, is it a progressive condition?, is stem cell therapy now available for this?

Accepted Answer

Bronchiectasis can: Worsen over time, usually gradually.  I am not aware of any human stem cell trials for this condition.

Question 5

does stem cell therapy works for william syndrome? if yes which one embroyonic or induced pluripotent cell?

Accepted Answer

William syndrome: Williams syndrome association would be best place to find answers on this rare genetic condition.

Question 6

how safe is adult stem cell therapy?

Accepted Answer

Appears safe: Use of adult mesenchymal stem-stromal cells (mscs) are currently in clinical trial in us/internationally.  Trend is toward use of fat derived mscs, havested by liposuction, isolated and concentrated in tissue culture.  Early reports suggest significant improvement in neurological, autoimmune and organ functions.  Many more mscs in fat than bone marrow making ad-msc the center of most research now.

Question 10

how are they using stem cell therapy around the world?

Accepted Answer

IV and targeted: Adult stem cells are being studied for IV use and for guided injection therapy into areas of disease or degeneration.  Most important cell group appears to be the mesenchymal stem-stromal cells which are multipotent (several tissues).  Trend is to use fat tissue as source since it has highest numbers of these types of cells.  Amazing reports are growing that they have great therapeutic potentials.
