Mice Stem Cells Guided Into Myelinating Cells By The Trillions
Scientists at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine found a way to rapidly produce pure populations of cells that grow into the protective myelin coating on nerves in mice. Their process opens a door to research and potential treatments for multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and other demyelinating diseases afflicting millions of people worldwide...
Cell-based technologies for medicine
Stem cells are able to migrate into tissue lesions and differentiate there into those cells which are required for effective tissue regeneration. As a matter of fact, stem cell-based technologies enable to replace the complicated surgery on organ transplantation by the cell grafting, an ambulatory procedure with an equivalent potential.
