Stem cells and degenerative diseases
Cell therapies utilizing stem cells hold a great promise for the treatment of chronic-degenerative diseases. For more than a decade now, pre-clinical and clinical studies have been using bone marrow derived cells for therapy of diverse degenerative diseases. Cardiologists have unarguably performed the largest number of clinical trials and we will concentrate our presentation on the use of vario...
متن کاملPluripotent Stem Cells for Gene Therapy of Degenerative Muscle Diseases.
Human pluripotent stem cells represent a unique source for cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine. The intrinsic features of these cells such as their easy accessibility and their capacity to be expanded indefinitely overcome some limitations of conventional adult stem cells. Furthermore, the possibility to derive patient-specific induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells in combination with...
متن کاملP129: Use of Stem Cells to Regenerate Degenerative Optic Nerve
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to convert to different types of cells and after dividing, they can produce their own cells or other cells. Axons of the retinal ganglion cells, from the optic nerve. These cells lose the ability to regenerate themselves before birth. Optic nerve degeneration can result from various causes including increased intraocular pressure, comp...

متن کاملPatient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for the study and treatment of retinal degenerative diseases.
Vision is the sense that we use to navigate the world around us. Thus it is not surprising that blindness is one of people's most feared maladies. Heritable diseases of the retina, such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, are the leading cause of blindness in the developed world, collectively affecting as many as one-third of all people over the age of 75, to some degr...
