Information of Stem Cell Therapy for Brain Disease

Stem Cell Therapies are the master cells of the human body. Cell Therapies are at the center of a new field of science called regenerative medicine. Stem cell therapy is the use of stem cells to treat certain diseases. Stem cells are obtained from the patient’s own blood bone marrow, fat and umbilical cord tissue or blood. All Cell Therapies regardless of their source have three general properties: they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods; they are unspecialized and they can give rise to specialized cell types. Self-regeneration is the ability of Cell Therapies to divide and produce more Cell Therapies. The brain is the control center of the body. It controls thoughts, memory, speech and movement. It regulates the function of many organs. It may be caused by brain injury or cerebral arteriosclerosis or by functional nervous disorders such as hysteria. Amnesia may be total with complete loss of recall or partial, occurring only immediately before or after a traumatic event or systematic, relating to a particular type or group of experiences. Amnesia is a symptom rather than a disease, and treatment attempts to determine and remove the basic cause. When brain cells are damaged or are dying, due to a disease or an injury, fetal Cell Therapies are the best known source for human neural Cell Therapies. Most brain injuries, stroke, degenerative diseases and Demyelinating disorders affect several areas in the brain and not only one, the most effective and safe procedure for traumatic brain injury treatment is to deliver neural Cell Therapy into the brain is via a Lumbar Puncture: a spinal injection in the lumbar area into the CSF (Cerebral Spinal Fluid). Many people with genetic brain disorders fail to produce enough of certain proteins that influence brain development and function. These brain disorders can cause serious problems that affect the nervous system. Degenerative disorders include a large number of diseases and conditions that affect the normal functioning of the body and include such neurologic conditions as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease and vascular dementia, and disorders of the spine such as spondylosis and stenosis. Stem cell therapy is certainly a promising area for research. Stem cells have the ability to give rise to many specialized cells in an organism. Certain types of stem cells are already used to restore blood-forming and immune system function after high-dose chemotherapy for some types of cancer and several other restorative uses have been demonstrated. The broadest potential application is the generation of cells and tissues that could be used to repair or replace damaged organs.

Embryonic stem cells and adult brain stem cells have been shown to possess plasticity with their ability to convert to different cell types in the lab. Parkinson's and Alzheimer's by replenishing damaged tissue, bringing back the specialized brain cells that keep unneeded muscles from moving. Embryonic stem cells have recently been directed to differentiate into these types of cells and so treatments are promising. A better understanding of brain development and stem cell function therein is essential in my opinion for crafting stem cell-based therapies for brain disorders. The possibility to restore brain function by transplantation of stem cells or cells predifferentiated in vitro from stem cells is being explored also in stroke. Brain cancer just like any other cancer is caused by a proliferation of cells that have lost their ability to stop multiplying. Stem cells are the basic building blocks of all other cells in the body. While most cells have a specific function, stem cells are a sort of all-purpose cell; they can take on the function of other cells if need be. Their main function is to help rebuild damaged cells in the body by mimicking the healthy function of the damaged area. This is how stem cell therapy works. Stem cell therapy is the most promising treatment for brain cancer available today. Because brain cancer is a case of cellular malfunction, stem cell therapy goes directly to the problem and helps the cells to function normally once again.
