Nose cell transplant enables paralysed dogs to walk.
Scientists have reversed paralysis in dogs after injecting them with cells grown from the lining of their nose. The pets had all suffered spinal injuries which prevented them from using their back legs. The Cambridge University team is cautiously optimistic the technique could eventually have a role in the treatment of human patients. The study is the first to test the transplant in "real-life" injuries rather than laboratory animals. In the study, funded by the Medical Research Council and published in the neurology journal Brain, the dogs had olfactory ensheathing cells from the lining of their nose removed. These were grown and expanded for several weeks in the laboratory. Video by: BBC NewsFrom:NewsAndOffersNowViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:21More inNews Politics

Therafit Gym Multiple Sclerosis Jody MS (stem cell trial).wmv
PLEASE SEND THE LETTER BELOW TO YOUR US SENATORS! We are writing to encourage the FDA and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) to approve a clinical trial of mesenchymal stem cell derived neural progenitors (MSC-NPs) in the treatment of Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS). The initial 20 person trial will be conducted at the Multiple Sclerosis Research Center of New York (MSRCNY) under the direction of Dr. Saud Sadiq, neurologist and director of the MSRCNY. Dr. Sadiq was previously the head of Neurology at St. Luke #39;s Roosevelt Hospital in New York City (NYC). In 2006, he started this research center in NYC working only on MS. In November 2011, the MSRCNY received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the International Cellular Medicine Society (ICMS) to conduct this trial for patients with SPMS, the first of its kind ever done in the US. This trial is very specialized as it uses a patient #39;s own adult stem cells that are removed from the patient #39;s breast bone marrow, grown, isolated and injected into the spinal fluid (intrathecal) where the disease attacks the myelin. The trial will last for 3 years with stem cell treatments every 3 months for the first year and potentially more, depending on the many evaluations to determine physical and mental progress. MSRCNY requested approval in the past and is currently seeking approval for this trial AGAIN!! We are at a breakthrough point in the treatment of patients with SPMS.

A Thanksgiving to Remember
Andrea and Anthony Temperino share their story of survival. While pregnant with triplets, Andrea was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder, Myasthenia Gravis with antibodies to muscle specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK), a condition that weakens the muscles and affects swallowing, speech and breathing. Doctors believe Andrea is the first women pregnant with triplets to be diagnosed with this condition in the United States. In this video: Andrea and Anthony Temperino, Dr. Ashok Verma, UM/Jackson neurologist and medical director of the Kessenich Family MDA ALS Center; Dr. Kristine O #39;Phelan, UM/Jackson neurointensivist and chief of the neurocritical care division at The University of Miami Department of Neurology, co-director of the Neuroscience ICU at Jackson Memorial Hospital; Dr. Salih Yasin, UM/Jackson OB/GYN and director of obstetrics and patient safety at Jackson #39;s Women #39;s Hospital Center; Dr. Shahnaz Duara, UM/Holtz Children #39;s Hospital neonatologist and medical director of the neonatal intensive care unit at Holtz; Dr. Theresa Del Moral, UM/Holtz neonatologistFrom:JacksonHealthSystemViews:6 0ratingsTime:43:46More inNonprofits Activism
