Fundraiser Supports Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Research in Australia

The breakthrough that umbilical cord stem cells can help in the treatment of Leukemia patients has been among the most astonishing of all the discoveries in modern medical research.

Giving patients with blood-disorders another hope for a cure, researchers have discovered that normal bone marrow stem cells can be found in umbilical cord blood extracted from the cords of healthy babies.

A national charity called Inner Wheel Australia wants discoveries like the one mentioned above to continue. That is why they have held an event called

Teen Hopes to Walk after Adult Stem Cell Treatment Restores Sensation in Legs

17-year-old Kayla is making graduation plans, completing her final senior project; her remaining days as a high school senior at Stanley High were jammed full of activity.

On May 15th, diplomas will be handed out to all the graduates as they walk across the stage in front of their friends and family .

However, Kayla may not be able to do it exactly like that. She is paralyzed.

“If I don’t, that’ll be OK, but if I do, that will be great,” Kayla said.

But even though she is paralyzed, walking is not completely out of the question. Kayla received a series of adult stem cell treatments in China last year. She was left paralyzed at mid-chest after the car she was riding in flipped out of control. She is hoping her trip to China will restore her ability to walk, maybe even before her graduation date.

Her treatment in China was administered over time, with an injection given every five to seven days. The received four injections and one IV of non-embryonic and non-controversial umbilical cord stem cells. Her treatment was combined with acupuncture session six days each week. She also worked through intensive physical therapy sessions twice-a-day.

The supplementary therapy is a positive addition since it allows Kayla to be in control of her balance and be more mobile.

Bone Marrow Stem Cells “Germinate” into Sperm Cells

Potentially leading to a revolution in fertility therapy, certain human bone marrow cells have shown the ability to differentiate into sperm stem cells according to a new study.

Researchers managed to encourage mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into reproductive cells, known as germ cells. The study was led by Professor Karim Nayernia of Newcastle University in the UK.

The cells could be used to produce eggs and sperm for patients suffering from infertility since they are a new source of female and male germ cells.

But there is a challenge when it comes to encouraging the cells to mature fully say researchers.

“In the long term the aim would be to isolate these stem cells from a patient and then bring them back to the same patient after differentiation to try to treat infertility,” said Nayernia.

He explained that the research could potentially restore patient
