Stem Cell Research: Cell Deficiency Therapy

It is widely expected that in the future new cells may be available for transplant into patients suffering from diseases which damage their own tissues.

For example, people with heart disease may be able to have the diseased tissue replaced with newly regenerated healthy tissue. People with Type 1 diabetes may be given new pancreatic cells to replace the insulin-producing cells that they no longer have. These stem cell treatments would potentially negate the need for organ transplants and also negate the need for lifetime anti-rejection drugs.

Stem Cell Research Video: Therapeutic Benefits of Neural Stem Cells

Join Evan Snyder, M.D., Ph.D., from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research, for a look at the possible therapeutic benefits of neural stem cells (NSCs) in various mouse models of central nervous system (CNS) injury and degeneration. NSCs may migrate to degenerating regions, thus replacing dying neural cells and benefiting those with CNS injuries. In addition, NSCs may serve as vehicles for gene delivery and appear capable of simultaneous neural cell replacement and gene therapy.
