Bone Marrow Stem Cells Explored as ALS Therapy

Italian researchers published in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences an exploratory trial in a few ALS patients of using their own stem cells collected from bone marrow as therapy. These stem cells do not appear to differ from those collected from healthy people. Of the nine ALS patients who received spinal injection (chest level) of their own mesenchymal stem cells, four appeared to have a decelerated decline in forced vital capacity (a breathing measure) and in the ALS rating scale, called the ALS-FRS. No change in spinal cord volume or in any other measures to detect possible tumors appeared during the four years of follow up. The findings will need to be explored in a larger patient trial. It is possible that the patients may have progressed more slowly as a natural feature of their disease. The appropriate controls will need to be included to see if the treatment does have effect. The researchers were working with Letizia Mazzini, M.D., at the University of Novara. These particular stem cells may counter inflammation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=17582439&ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum

Hej Finn

Jeg har en far, som også er ramt af ALS. Derfor kunne jeg godt tænke mig at høre, hvordan dit besøg hos Xcell Center gik. Vi overvejer nemlig at prøve samme tur.

Mange hilsner og på forhånd tak
Claus Mogensen

Hej Finn .. jeg kunne da også godt tænke mig og høre hvordan det er gået dig i tyskland ? Jeg har en far som fik konstateret als for 2 år siden og blir desværre kun dårligere og dårligere Håber sådan de finder ud af det med stamceller før det er for sent ...
Håber at høre fra dig Min mail er joey_kelly_girl83@hotmail.com
