CD34+ Stem Cells Show Protective Effects on Damaged Retina

Intravitreal injections of human bone marrow CD34+ stem cells prevent further retinal damage associated with diabetic retinopathy. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have shown that stem cell injections elicit a protective effect on retinas damaged by diabetes. Using a diabetic retinopathy mouse model system, the scientists demonstrated that intravitreal injections of human bone marrow CD34+ stem cells resulted in homing and integration of the cells into the damaged retina and preservation of the retinal vasculature. The study provides a potential…

Impaired MSC Maturation May Lead To Fragile Bone Formation

Mitochondrial dysfunction may impair MSC maturation and inhibit cell proliferation, contributing to fragile bone formation in SRS patients. Patients with Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS), an X-linked recessive condition, exhibit deficient Spermidine Synthase (SMS) gene expression as well as neurodevelopmental defects and osteoporosis, often leading to extremely fragile bones. Although several studies have explored the possible mechanisms by which the disease causes impaired bone formation, the actual cause is yet unknown. One study proposes a correlation between impaired bone formation and dysfunctional multipotent stromal…

UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD

THE POWER OF THE ADAPTABLE CELLS Cord blood transplants hold promise for treating a wide range of diseases from cancer and diabetes to rare genetic disorders. Within the cord blood are blood-forming stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells. Transplantation of these stem cells into patients with chronic or life-threatening diseases allows regrowth or regeneration of healthy cells. Thus, cord blood stem cell transplants are a form of regenerative medicine, a branch of medicine that replaces, regrows, or repairs tissues damaged by…
